ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to examine large scale land acquisition implications on smallholder rice production in Kilombero District. Purposive sampling procedures were used to obtain four representative villages. In each village 40 respondents were randomly selected leading to a sample of 160 respondents. Primary data was collected through household questionnaires, focus group discussion, key informant interview and physical observations while secondary data was collected from relevant local authority reports and records. Using various analytical techniques collected data was analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive results indicated that utilization of land acquired for large scale farming by investors was only partially used. Moreover, results of paired samples t-test indicated that rice production has significantly decreased among smallholder farmers with mean differences of 4.61 to 1.47 respectively. The study was therefore able to reject the null hypothesis which states that large scale land acquisition for large scale farming does not have effects on rice production. The results indicated that among other factors, insufficient land was a significant factor for decline of rice production (χ2 =21.30; p
