Rice production in the Province of Chiriquí measured in quintals in the shell is analyzed. The period 1990-2017 is taken as a reference. As a primary source for this analysis, the data generated by the Comptroller General of the Republic of Panama, section of the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC), internet source https: // www.contraloria.gob.pa/inec/. Taking as a frame of reference the assumption that "The amount of rice harvested in the Province of Chiriquí depends on the area planted and represents a significant contribution to national consumption." To support this conjecture (hypothesis) with the data obtained, the measures of central tendency, dispersion, form and correlation were calculated. The time series values ??have been analyzed in the light of statistical concepts and procedures, which reflect the existence of a directly proportional relationship between the area planted and the rice crop generated. In addition, a simple regression model was developed, which has allowed us to verify the hypothesis with the Pearson correlation statistic (r = 0.924) that evidences the association of the variables and Durbin Watson (DW = 1.918) that results in the Model is robust to predict. Also, it was determined that the Province of Chiriquí contributes 19.17% of its production to national consumption.
