dc.description.abstract Due to the decrease in the rice production in Namwiwa sub-county inspired the researcher to find out the factors that have contributed to low rice production. To embrace people with the knowledge on how to improve on their rice production by enabling the farmers to have the new ideas on how to solve their problems to increase the production. In order to find out the factors contributing to the low rice production, the researcher selected more dependable and reliable tools namely: - Questionnaires observation and oral interviews with the respondents. Among the farmers, three respondents were randomly selected from each parish, two extension workers (respondent) cooperative assistant and Agricultural assistant in change Namwiwa Sub-county. There was selection of the parishes, the four Parishes were selected randomly from the eight parishes namely; Bilari, Mutendeli, Bukale, Buseleka, one of the farmers from each parish was interviewed. Farmers should use improved seeds, herbicides to reduce labour costs, making farmer to extension worker or extension worker to farmer visits etc. It is my self who did the research under the directives of the parish leaders who led me to the farmers to get the information and also extension workers enabled me to get more information and proof. Under the findings I found out that among the factors that have led to low rice production include; limited capital to enhance the production, low yielding seed varieties, lack of herbicides, and low prices since farmers invest much income in the production. I conclude by informing the farmers to involve more in rice production since it’s the most profitable crop. I recommend farmers to read this information to improve on their rice production and researchers should research on how to improve soils for high rice production. en_US
