This implies that rice production is a profitability and viable enterprise.

Some factors of production that were identified are: tractors, cutlasses, hoes, planting materials, cost of land preparation etc. While the major problems were inadequate finance, birds and rodents attack, insufficient rainfall, inadequate storage facility etc.
