      abstract = {The study investigated the participation of the anchor borrower?s progamme beneficiary rice farmers in Osun state. Multistage sampling method was used to obtain information from 120 participants and non participants. Data obtained was analyzed using mean and percentage score. The result showed that there is male dominance in rice production in the state with dominance rate of 54.2% and average age of 54.4 years. 67.5% of the farmers had completed at least secondary school education and with a mean household size of 6 persons. The average farm size of the beneficiaries was 3.5 ha. Majority of the beneficiaries (90.8%) indicated Information/awareness as the major factor that influence their participation in programme. This is followed by access to land (89.2). The study therefore recommends that efficient extension services that will deliver relevant and timely information to the farmers should be supported.},
