چکیده    Burundi, like other countries, invests in agricultural research and development. the adoption of the most productive varieties is one of the ways of increasing agricultural yields. rice, because of its high productivity, is among the cereals which occupy an important place in the food security strategy in burundi. this study aims to identify the effect of the adoption of this variety on the productivity of rice farmers. using random sampling technique was used to select the respondents to fill the questionnaires, data were collected from 524 rice farmers spread across the five villages, namely buringa, murira, nyeshanga, ninga and bwiza of the gihanga commune in bubanza, burundi. the analysis of the determinants and the quasi-experimental method based on propensity score matching was used in the estimation of the results of the effect of adoption of the rutete variety on the productivity of rice farmers and estimate the results. the study found that the average rice yields for adopted and non-adopted farmers were respectively 9754 and 9912 kg/ha. also, if non-adopting farmers decide to adopt the variety, their counterfactual rice yield would be 7931 kg/ha for adopters and for non-adopters reached 7927 kg/ha. the average effect of the treatment on the rice yield of the adopters was 1823 kg/ha and significant (p<0.01). the decision to adopt for non-adopting rice farmers could increase the average yield by 1984 kg/ha. the results imply the positive role of the adoption of the rutete rice variety on the performance of rice farmers in gihanga. it is recommended that the government and research institutions involved in the agricultural sustainable development support rice farmers by increasing agricultural research innovation with the aim of increasing the yield of crops.

Abstract    burundi, like other countries, invests in agricultural research and development. the adoption of the most productive varieties is one of the ways of increasing agricultural yields. rice, because of its high productivity, is among the cereals which occupy an important place in the food security strategy in burundi. this study aims to identify the effect of the adoption of this variety on the productivity of rice farmers. using random sampling technique was used to select the respondents to fill the questionnaires, data were collected from 524 rice farmers spread across the five villages, namely buringa, murira, nyeshanga, ninga and bwiza of the gihanga commune in bubanza, burundi. the analysis of the determinants and the quasi-experimental method based on propensity score matching was used in the estimation of the results of the effect of adoption of the rutete variety on the productivity of rice farmers and estimate the results. the study found that the average rice yields for adopted and non-adopted farmers were respectively 9754 and 9912 kg/ha. also, if non-adopting farmers decide to adopt the variety, their counterfactual rice yield would be 7931 kg/ha for adopters and for non-adopters reached 7927 kg/ha. the average effect of the treatment on the rice yield of the adopters was 1823 kg/ha and significant (p<0.01). the decision to adopt for non-adopting rice farmers could increase the average yield by 1984 kg/ha. the results imply the positive role of the adoption of the rutete rice variety on the performance of rice farmers in gihanga. it is recommended that the government and research institutions involved in the agricultural sustainable development support rice farmers by increasing agricultural research innovation with the aim of increasing the yield of crops.
