t. In 2006, the Solomon Islands Government implemented the Rice Development Programme aiming to promote rice growing. However, the low level of rice adoption raised questions relating to the successful implementation of this programme. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that contributed to farmers’ decision to adopt or not to adopt rice. The data collected was analysed using the qualitative analysis. This study separated the factors that influenced the farmers’ decision to adopt rice technology into three broad categories: characteristics of technology, internal factors and external factor. However, it was found that poor policy implementation, poor leadership by the community leaders and poor delivery of extension service were the key factors that affected the adopters’ decision to discontinue the use of the technology in the end of 2010. This study also showed that the majority of farmers in Fiu village did not adopt the technology due to the negative attributes of the rice technology such as: complexity, lack of compatibility with traditional practices, resource requirements and risk of crop failure.
