Data were collected from secondary sources, analyzed using vector error correction model, variance decomposition and impulse response. The result ~howed that inflation rate in the previous year and population in the previous year were the variables that significantly affected the importation of rice in the long run while rice output in the previous year was the only variable that significantly affected rice importation in the short ruri. It was therefore recommended that the Federal government should put in place policies to increase and improve on the quality of locally produced rice through agricultural credit, fertilizer distribution, packaging and marketing. Also the Federal Government should set up policies that will encourage investment through appropriate financing at reasonable interest rate so that agribusiness will be promoted, particularly in the rice sub-sector. 000288329 546__ $$aEnglish 000288329 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000288329 650__ $$aCrop Production/Industries 000288329 6531_ $$aDeterminants 000288329 6531_ $$aImportation 000288329 6531_ $$aInflation 000288329 6531_ $$aBan 000288329 6531_ $$aAgri-Business 000288329 6531_ $$aRice 000288329 700__ $$aDzever, D.D. 000288329 700__ $$aAyoola, J.B. 000288329 8560_ $$fmoric022@umn.edu 000288329 8564_ $$981b9c264-7bde-45f7-b01c-d87b76f9fde2$$s451449$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/288329/files/NAAE_2017_028.pdf 000288329 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:288329$$pGLOBAL_SET 000288329 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
