  abstract = {{T}his paper explores the key factors influencing market participation decisions among smallholder lowland rice growers. {D}ata were collected through purposive sampling technique. {A} total of 127 rice growers, from 16 lowlands (developed and traditional lowlands), was selected. {D}escriptive statistics and the probit regression model were used to analyse the data. {T}he statistical analysis revealed significant differences in yields between developed and traditional lowlands rice plots ("lowland development effect"). {T}he regression results showed that farmers' behaviours were not gender neutral; male producers were more likely to take part in the market as compared to their female counterparts, implying a "gender effect". {W}ith respect to the effect of membership in farmers' organization, the results indicate that farmers' involvement in an organization, was in general negatively associated to their market participation decisions. {H}owever, farmers from lowlands with functional rice producers' organizations were more likely to sell their products in the market. {I}nterestingly, this study also highlighted that lowland rice producers' ability to generate a marketable surplus (at least 20 kg/person/year) positively influence their market participation decision. {A}s hypothesized, the results revealed that farmers who have access to potential buyers of the output (secured market outlets) were less likely to produce rice for self-consumption.},
