Abstract

KEY FINDINGS: • Significant share of rice farmers and processors in Nigeria still use technologies that do not allow for substantial improvement in average yield and on the quality of rice processed. • Adoption of modern technology does not only improve rice yield; it also significantly lowers the overall cost of production. • Improvement in rice yield and reduction in input cost tend to occur irrespective of the type of agroecological zone. • Disparities in the price of domestic rice across Nigeria tend to be a function of the quality of rice sold which is largely determined by the type of processing technology employed.
