The aim of this article is to analyse the rice value chain in Bobonaro, Timor-Leste, from the producer's point of view, for this purpose, the Data Envelopment + Analysis (DEA), Tobit and Regression. The sample consisted of 200 rice producers in one municipality, namely Bobonaro. The results showed that the production scale presented increasing returns in about 96%. Only 3% of the sample surveyed showed an efficient scale and about 1% presented a production scale with decreasing returns. The results of multiple linear regression analyses show that the model has a degree of adjustment of 10.6%, and the model is statistically significant. The estimated coefficients are statistically significant for Land, Seeds, Capital and IR8 Variety. There are many factors that influence the decision-making of producers when selling their rice products. Rice distribution chains operate through various channels, including traders, companies, wholesalers, retailers and agents.
