The preparation of this report was initiated because of the increased need for information about the characteristics of rice production and its producers in Ethiopia for the design of effective research and development interventions. The emerging importance of rice in the country is well recognized following the approval of the national rice research and development strategy in 2010 by the Ministry of Agriculture. The purpose of the survey was to document the characteristics of rice producers by rice agro-ecology in terms of their socio-demographics and production characteristics mainly in terms of types of rice varieties grown, seed management, applied agronomic practices, land allocation, productivity and production levels, and major perceived production constraints among others.
