The eastern seaboard area of Africa had less rainfall. As per the study done under NASA by the Goddard Space Flight Center the decrease is because of the nearby Indian Ocean warming up. It has reduced by almost 15 per cent since year 1980. Countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya had been having less rainfalls cause of the irregularities in the moisture transportation between the land and the ocean. Co-researcher Chris Funk says this is going to continue like this for next 20 – 25 years. The food production activity is definitely going to get affected due to scanty rainfall or for lack of adequate rains. The study has given warning to the agricultural sector of the East African countries.
