Ciherang is a High Yielding Variety (HYV) of Rice produced by the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development Agency since 2000. Ciherang, as an agricultural technology innovation, is still used by most farmers in various regions in Indonesia, especially South Sulawesi as one of the national rice production centers. The objectives of sturdy are to: (1) investigate farmers’ decisions to grow the Ciherang variety and (2) Scrutinize the influence of socio-economic and climatic factors on the choices of farmers to grow the Ciherang variety. This research was conducted in South Sulawesi Province from December 2020 to January 2021 involving 101 respondent farmers in Sidenreng Rappang and Pinrang Regency. In this study, descriptive analysis and Binomial Logistic Regression were used. The results showed that 17.82% of the farmers choose the ciherang variety, while the rest select other varieties. The choice of farmers for the ciherang variety is significantly influenced by socio-economic factors, namely age of the farmer, farmer group education, income, as well as climatic factors, namely drought and floods. Other factors, such as land status, land area, experience, perimeter, and labor did not affect farmers’ choices for the Ciherang variety.
