| Abstract: | ABSTRACT The study determined factors affecting rice production in Nigeria using time series (1972 - 2002) data Linear regression analysis was used to explain the relationship between the independent variable Nigeria's annual rice output and five explanatory variables(Inflation (X4), Lagged-price of rice Rainfall (83), Rice-import (X4) and Technological change (D1). Rice production was found to respond positively to inflation, price and rainfall. On the other hand rice import and technological changes negative effects on rice production. The study recommends that inflation be effectively controlled way of improving crop production particularly price. |
