Earlier in the 90’s a total ban on rice importation was introduced which was later lifted, since then there has been irregular stints of such import policy. Did the import restriction boost rice domestic production? What relationship lies between the importation of rice and quantity supplied? Does The harvested area office have impact on rice production? Is there relationship between the labour force employed and quantity office? The purpose of this study is to find and proffer valid solutions to the age long problem office self-sufficiency through a better understanding of policy measures used then. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Analysis was done using Multiple regression, Multi-collinearity, Heteroscedasticity, normqlity of the variables; Variables employed are valid macroeconomic factors that explain the Quantity supply ofrice in Nigeria, as adducedfrom the independent variables. Policy Recommendations: Suggestions on the import restriction is not totally dismissed as a veritable tool for improving domestic rice production, rather better enforcement procedures and strict adherence to the policy dictates is needed, accompanying policies which 'drives public and private capital investment and accumulation must be introduced. Employment and labour substitution in the agricultural sector should not be distorted; rather its welfare and efficiency be supported.en_US
