This study examines the economics of rice production and marketing in Nigeria. The costs and returns, marketing margin, and constraints associated with rice production and marketing were examined. Seven states and nine markets were selected for investigations. Stratified random sampling techniques were used to collect data from forty-five respondents. The simple descriptive statistics and farm firm budget techniques were the major tools used in analyzing the data. Result of the analysis showed that the rice Farmers made a 68% gross income while the net income was at 43% which is indicative that the middlemen did not make excessive profit at the expense of the primary producers. Constraints associated with rice production include high cost of labour and inputs in terms of machinery while that of marketing included high cost of transportation and inadequate storage facilities. The study suggests an improvement of Farm inputs and equipment, the road network system and provision of agricultural credit to enable rice farmers and traders expand the volume of their operations.The choice of these towns was based on the fact that they have the highest concentration of the rice farmers, Rice Mills and  onsumers in the State. The swampy and soft nature of the most part of those areas makes cultivation easy. In the researcher’s research project, simple random sampling techniques was used to select the sample for this study. This was mainly to ensure that the sample was truly the representation of the total population. Each of the thirteen towns and markets were given an equal opportunity of appearing in the experiment. It sets also to study benchmark of activity or performance of a given equity market – the relationship between domestic or circular market and its contribution to making Nigeria a vibrant economy.

This research was conducted with an associative descriptive approach where the data obtained from the questionnaire in the form of numbers. The number of samples used in this study amounted to 80 respondents who are managers of land waqf in Krian District, Sidoarjo Regency and use simple random sampling techniques. This study uses a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The results of this study indicate that Nazhir's knowledge and attitude related to the procedure for registering waqf land has a moderate and significant correlation with Nazhir's behavior in carrying out the act of registering waqf land. That is due to the lack of socialization from authorized institutions to the community to manage the administration of waqf land. The knowledge and attitude possessed by Nazhir regarding the registration of waqf land would increase Nazhir's behavior or actions in registering the waqf land. This research was conducted to prevent future disputes caused by the absence of written evidence as waqf land.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dan sikap Nazhir di Kecamatan Krian Kabupaten Sidoarjo dengan perilaku mereka dalam pendaftaran tanah wakaf.

Jumlah sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berjumlah 80 responden yang merupakan pengelola wakaf tanah di Kecamatan Krian Kabupaten Sidoarjo dan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuisioner dengan skala likert. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan sikap Nazhir terkait tata cara pendaftaran tanah wakaf memiliki korelasi sedang dan signifikan dengan perilaku Nazhir dalam melakukan tindakan pendaftaran tanah wakaf. Hal itu dikarenakan kurangnya sosialisasi dari lembaga yang berwenang kepada masyarakat untuk mengelola administrasi tanah wakaf.
