The municipality of Kelle Gueye is severely affected by climate change-induced disturbances, which manifest themselves in an increase in average temperature, irregular rainfall patterns, and an increased frequency of extreme weather events, significantly impacting agricultural activity. This study aims to assess the influence of climate change on peanut production. To this end, 48 producers in five villages in the municipality were surveyed, and secondary agronomic and climatic data were collected from the SDDR and ANACIM, respectively. The villages were selected based on their accessibility and the availability of secondary agronomic data. The correlation analysis reveals that temperature plays a decisive role in production, showing a strong positive correlation with yield (r = 0.70). Qualitative variables related to farmers’ perceptions of climate change and their resilience strategies did not show statistically significant results at the 5% threshold with respective p-values (P ≤ 0.05). According to 98% of surveys, climate variations have a negative impact on peanut production in the municipality of Kelle Gueye. These results highlight the need for agronomists to select varieties that are adapted to these changes in order to strengthen their resilience. It would be relevant to conduct further research on natural mechanisms of resilience to climate change, particularly by exploring agroecological practices or adapted local varieties.
