The perspective of producers on the impact of climate change on production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) has not been fully documented. The perception of farmers on effects of climate change on production of tomato was investigated. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 202 respondents from the predominantly tomato producing zones: southeastern (Imo), southwestern (Oyo), northeastern (Gombe), and north central (Benue), Nigeria. This consisted of 25% of regions from which 50% of villages were chosen. Ten percent of farmers were randomly selected from the total population of tomato producers. Focus group discussions and structured interviews were used to elicit responses on farmer personal characteristics, changes in production between 2000 and 2009, and perception of effects on production. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation, and ...
