This study assesses the market participation level of smallholder rice farmers in Bohol. Using a descriptive survey method, data was collected through questionnaires to address key research questions concerning respondent profiles, level of market participation, and differences between the level of market participation and respondent's profile. The study covered five municipalities: Carmen, Pilar, San Miguel, Dagohoy, and Ubay. Results showed that most farmers practice semi-subsistence farming, selling only part of their harvest while keeping the rest for household use. Market participation was found to be moderate overall. A significant difference was seen in market participation based on educational level and farm size, Farmers who finished high school and those with bigger farms sold more of their produce. Mo significant difference was found when grouped by age, household size, and years of farming experience. Ubay, San Miguel, Carmen had higher market participation, while Dagohoy and Pilar had lower levels. The findings show that farm size and education play an important role in market engagement. The study recommends support for smallholder farmers through access to land, training, and cooperatives to improve their market participation.
