The research aim was effects of rainfall variability on Maize production in Afgooye, District, lower Shebelle. Somalia. This study adopted with a cross-sectional survey research design, and followed quantitative approach. The accessible population, the study selected 108 sample size represent the population by using Slovin formula with the maximum acceptable error of 5%. The variables used in this study included rainfall pattern, rainfall intensity and rainfall frequency. The data was analyzed with the package of statistical package for Social Science technique (SPSS 22.0). The results showed rainfall Variability effected maize production. This study showed that rainfall pattern, rainfall intensity and rainfall frequency have an effect with maize production.
