Rice is an important staple food for many households in Nigeria. It is a food security crop and returns from rice production is expected to raise the income of the value chain actors.

More so, rice produced is usually sold as paddy or consumed by the farming household. The results of this research is timely as it addresses some of this critical issues and makes important policy recommendations.
