The perception of tea farmers towards organic tea production is influenced by factors such as income generation, participation in community activities, information dissemination, attending agricultural shows, and receiving training. The results of this study can guide policymakers and decision-makers in developing a more sustainable research-based tea extension program to promote organic tea production.
The current study determined the factors influencing the perception of tea farmers towards organic tea production in Rulindo District, Rwanda. This study used both qualitative and quantitative data from face to face interviews and questionnaires completed with 156 tea farmers and other key informants in the tea sector who were randomly selected in 2019. Using function step AIC in R's MASS package, the final multiple logistic regression model showed that generating income from tea production, participation in Umuganda, conveying messages at Ihangari, participation to agricultural shows, and receiving training from Farmers Field Schools (FFS) influenced farmers' perceptions towards organic tea production. Thus, the results of this study could be useful to stakeholders in Rwanda's tea sector, such as policymakers and decision-makers. They can act as a source of information when developing a more sustainable research-based tea extension program. Moreover, the results of this study can be used during the capacity building of farmers about organic tea production.
