Abstract

Climate change is instrumental for agricultural performance, with its production and marketing being the leading cores. Although numerous climate change adaptive strategies have been identified, there is a need to explore how climate change impacts agricultural marketing. The focus of the study was to investigate the agricultural marketing dynamics brought by the impact of climate change among rural-based emerging farmers. The study was conducted in the Vhembe district of the Limpopo province. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants, while a structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Discriminant analysis was used to draw a distinct difference between farmers who had observed the impact of climate change on their marketing dynamics from those who didn't. The study results show that unstable selling prices have been a negative impact of climate change on the market. The study recommended that collaborative efforts be directed toward assisting farmers in enhancing their marketing practices.
