“…It is compatible with various traditional food recipes like Injera (traditional Ethiopian bread), and local beverages (like "tela" and "areki"). While Ethiopia's annual rice production increased, it still does not satisfy the growing internal market demand (Takele, et al .2017). To meet the increasing demand for rice in the local market, introduction and development of high yielding varieties, multiplication and dissemination of quality improved seed, use of agricultural inputs including post-harvest machineries, capacity building and follow up to realize farmers use of recommendations from the production packages as well as enhancing value chain approach based rice production, cluster farming, motivate private investors to start commercialized irrigated rice farming are mentioned as the major interventions areas in national Growth and Transformation Plan II (GTP II) of the country (GTP II, 2015).…”

The study was conducted in Fogera plain which is one of rice production hubs in South Gondar Zone in North West part of Ethiopia on rice production, adoption of technologies and its determinant factors for small holder rice producing farmers. A total sample size of respondents (n=74) were selected through random sampling method. Binary logistic regression model was applied to the specification of socio-economic, demographic and institutional factors determining to adoption of improved rice technologies. Both continuous and categorical variables were used based on their logical and statistical hypothesis in relation to adoption of rice technologies. Poor infrastructure, timely un-availability of technology, membership of the household to farm organizations such as cooperatives, access to farm credit and price of technologies were statistically and significantly identified as determinant factors for adoption of improved rice technologies. Age, family size, sex, education level, farming experience, access to extension and advisory services of the household head and size of cultivated land didn't significantly affect adoption of technologies. Hence it is recommended that availability of improved technologies at appropriate time, infrastructural development to rice producing farmers and strengthening farmers' organizations especially seed cooperatives as well as efficient access of farmers to credit and saving services in their proximate areas were paramount importance to enhance adoption of improved rice technologies.

“…Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is among the major cereal crop consumed as a staple food by over half of the world's population [ 1 , 2 ], particularly in Asian countries such as China, Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia, which are the world's leading rice producers [ 3 , 4 ]. China is the largest producer and consumer of rice, accounting for over 30% of worldwide rice output [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Due to land expansion and an increase in productivity, rice production in sub‐Saharan Africa has been growing at a rate of 6% in the past decade. Rainfed rice production systems have accounted for a large share of this expansion. In these systems, the potential growing period not only depends on the length of the rainy season and thus water availability, but is often, especially in the highlands of East Africa, bordered by the onset of the cool period of the year, when low minimum temperatures compromise rice yields. The objective of this study was to investigate the yield potential of 30 rice varieties contrasting in crop duration and cold tolerance in the highlands of East Africa, with its limited length of growing period. A field trial was conducted in the cropping seasons in 2016 and 2017 at the Fogera rice research station, Ethiopia. As a function of the onset of rains, rice was sown mid‐July in 2016 and early July in 2017. Early sowing in 2017 led to an extended crop duration and significantly lower yields of the short‐duration varieties, and to a shortened duration and significantly higher yields of the medium‐ and long‐duration varieties, when compared to late sowing in 2016. Late sowing compromised yield of the medium‐ and long‐duration varieties because of low temperatures during booting stage, which led to high spikelet sterility. Early sowing resulted in low yields of the short‐duration varieties, probably due to low solar radiation during the cloudy rainy season, which coincided with the vegetative stage. Therefore, choice of variety should be a function of the variable onset of the rainy season and related sowing date. However, crop models precisely calibrated for potential varieties and the respective environmental conditions could fully support the selection of a suitable variety, depending on the date of sowing, for example with the help of online tools or smartphone applications.
