Abstract

Adoption of New rice for Africa (NERICA) variety by small holder farmers in Enugu State, Nigeria was studied using one hundred and twenty respondents. Structured questionnaire was employed to collect data for the study. Percentage responses, Logistic regression analysis and Net farm income were used to address the objectives of the study. The result of the determinant factors to the adoption of the technology was educational level, farming experience, membership of cooperatives, and household size. The gross margin of the rice was N392,070, the net farm income was N393, 220, while return on investment was N2.3. The result of constraints to NERICA adoption were poor extension contact, poor access to credit, unavailability and high cost of farm inputs and poor access to lands. Based on the results , the need to enhance farmers’ access to credit, educational programmes, land, fertilizer and labour saving device.
