The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of precipitation and temperature on the productivity and yield of irrigated sugarcane in the Integrated Agricultural Unit (IAU) of Zuenoula over the period 1983-2023. The approach was based on the use of agricultural statistical data on yields, on the one hand, and the average annual rainfall and temperatures from the IAU weather station during this period, on the other. The results obtained from this study, represented by maps of spatio-temporal variations of production and yields for the years 2013, 2018 and 2023, showed a decrease in production and yields over the years. The graphs of rainfall indices, standardized temperature anomaly and yields also showed the influence of climate, especially rainfall, on yields.
