Abstract

The agricultural sector is highly susceptible to climatic disturbances, with floods accounting for approximately 65% of global agricultural losses (FAO, 2017). This study views the impact of flooding on paddy production in Nagari Paninggahan, a flood-prone village located along the shoreline of Lake Singkarak, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Due to high annual precipitation, overflow from the lake frequently inundates low-lying and marginal rice fields, disrupting local agricultural activities. The study pursues two main objectives: (1) to describe the flooding phenomenon based on local farmer experiences and (2) to analyze the relationship between land area, precipitation levels, and rice production using a quantitative approach. Results indicate that recurrent seasonal flooding severely affects agricultural productivity, causing partial and total crop damage. The estimated cumulative economic loss suffered by farmers reached Rp 769,805,404 across 28.55 hectares of affected land, which equivalent to Rp 26,963,398 loss per hectare of impacted land. Regression analysis reveals that land area and average monthly rainfall significantly influence paddy production. These findings underscore the urgent need for adaptive strategies and disaster risk reduction measures to enhance agricultural resilience in flood-prone regions.
