  abstract = {{T}his study examines the impact of climate variability on rainfed maize production in the eastern part of the {I}vory {C}oast. {S}tationarity tests show breaks in the annual rainfall regimes toward the end of the 1960s. {T}he impact of these jump changes on the growing seasons shows that, despite significant decrease in its length after the 1970s, the main growing season remained long enough to crop maize with a short cycle. {T}he impact on maize was assessed by simulating yields and crop water use. {T}he simulation was based on long yield series and meteorological data using the {FAO} {CROPWAT} program to calculate water deficit and excess water conditions. {T}he comparison of simulation outputs with the indicators for trends in production, shows that the current state of the climatic conditions does not explain the overall dynamics of maize cropping in the eastern {I}vory {C}oast.},
