Technology adoption is a crucial driver of economic growth. The paper assesses the acceptance of quality protein maize (QPM) among farmers in the Hai and Babati districts Tanzania. The study used a random sample of 120 smallholder maize farmers in four villages to collect information regarding the adoption of QPM in the study area. The study employed descriptive statistics to analyse the data collected. The results show that only 25% of the sampled farmers have adopted and are still using the technology. This outcome has a low adoption rate. The study recommends that the government ensure farmers use their inputs and outputs efficiently to achieve QPM. In addition, the government should promote and support QPM's promotion and dissemination activities in the country. Moreover, seed agents should ensure a sustainable supply and timely availability of seeds to farmers.
