  ABSTRACT: The study investigated the determinants of modern rice production technology adoption in Bonthe District, Sierra Leone, with particular emphasis on the roles of extension services, biophysical conditions, and farmers’ perceptions. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed among 325 rice farmers selected through a multistage sampling procedure. Bonthe District and five major rice-producing communities: Torma, Borlleh, Madina, Sogballeh, and Ngepehun were purposively selected, while respondents were randomly sampled from lists of registered farmers. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square (χ2) tests, and binary logistic regression in R software, with statistical significance set at p χ2 = 470.2, p χ2 = 365.9, p χ2 = 281.9, p
