Research Origin: Indian Easternmost State internationally bordering with Myanmar, Manipur has rice production as major livelihood and other natural resources are taking very low contribution to NSDP. Henceforth, the factors contributing in enhancement of the agriculture production have to be identified so as to gear up the sustainable development in that state. Objectives: It aims to identify the factors of rice crop associated with various socio-economic and agro-climatic conditions of Manipur. Materials and Methods: Based on a primary data, the variations in agricultural productions particularly that of rice has been examined by using principal component analysis to identify the high contributing, factors on the rice production. Findings: Out of fifteen principal components, only six principal components are selected to be total variance extracted from the empirical data being 1 and greater. The total variance extracted by the first principal component is 3.01(20.1%) and other components’ variances are varying from 6.8% to 11.4%. Findings show that the analysis carried out in the existing data is quite satisfactory.
