      abstract = {Rice is an important crop to combat poverty; production  has not kept pace with demand and gender blindness in  policy making is prevalent in Nigeria. The study researched  the poverty status of rice farming household, their  determinants of poverty. 3-stage stratified random sampling  was used; descriptive statistics, Foster Greer and  Thorbecke poverty measure and Logitic regression were the  analytical tools. The study revealed 23.81% of the  respondents are female-headed and 76.19% are male-headed;  54.29% of the women are without formal education as  compared to the men 25.89%. The male headed household are  poorer 47.32% and 37.14%. The determinants of poverty  include rice cultivated area, age, household size, use of  credit, area of upland and education level. It is however  recommended that gender consideration should be made a  priority in poverty reduction strategies among rice farming  households; innovation use should be encouraged; and  education should be prioritized},
