The production and consumption of rice constitute a major stable food in Nigeria. While it is also estimated that 60% of the world’s population consume the commodity. (Imolehin and Wada, 2000).In major cities in Africa rice has become a stable food for every home. WARDA (1996).In Nigeria the consumption and production of the commodity has become a stable commodity. However the production level is far below the demand for the commodity. According to Imolehin and Wada, 2000 the commodity rank the third position after wheat and maize production globally. The health benefit of rice consumption is enormous as it has the potential of improving nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and sustain land mass. An estimated per capita consumption of rice globally stood at 40% between the years 1961-2002.Consequently rice consumption has continued to increase due to increase in population. Akande, (2003).The increase in the consumption of rice has not been matched with the production levels causing a short fall. The Nigerian agricultural development policy document is aimed at self-sufficiency in basic food commodities such as rice which constitute the large portion of Nigeria’s foreign exchange expenditure. It is believed that the policy will promote the level of production and consumption of rice in the country. The study seeks to proffer an assessment of key factors influencing rice production and marketing in Ebonyi state Nigeria.

Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek ????????? (oikonomia, "management of a household, administration") from ????? (oikos, "house") + ????? (nomos, "custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the house(hold)". Political economy was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" that also avoided a narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to "mathematics", "ethics", and so forth.

The exchange rate is perhaps one of the most widely discussed topics in Nigeria today. This is not surprising given the macro-economic importance, especially in a highly import dependent economy as Nigeria. However, following the fluctuations of the Naira in 1986, a policy was induced by the structural adjustment programme (SAP).This made the subject of exchange rate, a topical issue in Nigeria. The goal of every economy is to be stable, and to have a balanced balance of payment. As result of using the floating foreign exchange determination system, the country achieved that. The country also embarked on devaluation to promote export and stabilise the rate of exchange. Prior to 1986, Nigeria was on a fixed exchange rate determination system. At that time, Naira was very strong in reference to dollar. The exchange rate was one naira to one U.S dollar that is; #1 =$1.The increasing demand for foreign exchange and the inability of the exchange control system to evolve, an appropriate mechanism for foreign exchange allocation in consonance with the goal of internal balance, made the fixed exchange rate determination system to be discarded in September, 26 1986 while the structural adjustment programme (SAP) came in. The main objective of the new exchange rate policy (SAP), was to pressure the value of the domestic currency, maintain a favourable external balance alongside the overall goal of macroeconomic stability and to determine a realistic exchange rate for the Naira
