This paper examined the determinants of well-being status of rice farmers in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. One hundred and eighty-one rice farmers from Karu, Kokona and Doma local government areas were chosen for the study by multi-stage sampling procedure. Data were analyzed using frequency, mean and logit regression model. Rice farmers were satisfied with their well-being status having satisfaction in five out of seven indicators that defined a general well-being. However, indicators of well-being status like safety and future security were not satisfactory. Age, sex, rice yield, income and extension contact had significant and positive influence on the well-being status of the rice farmers. Government and relevant agricultural stakeholders should focus on the key influencing factors in view of improving the well-being status of rice farmers in the study area. Keywords: rice farmers, well-being, future security.
