Although studies have been conducted on resource use efficiency in recent times in Nigeria, research focused explicitly on production factor substitution has been wanting. This book, therefore, bridges this gap in knowledge by estimating efficiency indices and elasticities of substitution of upland rice ...

Rice Afrika Technologies is focused on using technology to improve rice production in Nigeria. But the organization isn’t simply purchasing tractors and providing it to rice farmers for a fee. Instead it is taking an integrated approach to solving this problem. ...
According to FAO (2018), the five major importers of rice are China, Nigeria, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines—expected to be one-third of the global rice imports by 2027. Clearly, rice production is critical for food security on planet Earth. However, like...
Esiobu (2020) examined how COVID-19 affected rice yield in Nigeria. So far, these articles constitute few articles that explicitly examined COVID-19 disruption in the rice sector. Rice undoubtedly constitutes a single most important staple in West Africa and by extension Ghana, hence an ...
