Analysis reveals climate change scenarios threaten potato yields in Southeast Asia, suggesting adaptation strategies may mitigate impacts.

Yields will drop significantly under high-emission climate change scenarios, and extreme weather will exacerbate this decline.
In simulations, potato yields differ by about 25% between lower and higher emission scenarios, showing significant vulnerability in production.
The DSSAT software with SUBSTOR-Potato model assessed scenarios through 2025-2087, utilizing comprehensive weather data for predictions.
Selective adaptation methods like adjusting planting times may help counteract climate impacts, underscoring urgency for targeted strategies.

Tsai-Wei Chiang (2025) studied this question.
