In order to explore the suitability of kitchen waste compost in rice production, three treatments of kitchen compost （15.00 t/hm², 30.00 t/hm² and 45.00 t/hm²） were set based on a field plot experiment. The rice yield, grain quality, soil safety and economic benefit were measured and evaluated with local iso-nitrogen fertilizer （0.38 t/hm²） and chicken manure compost （13.49 t/hm²） as the control. The results showed that the kitchen compost treatment had higher rice yield than chemical fertilizer treatment and improved grain quality effectively. The kitchen compost treatment significantly increased the contents of organic matter and available potassium in the soil, and the content of heavy metals in the soil was far below the upper limit specified by the national standard, which belongs to the safe range. The treatment of 15.00 t/hm² of kitchen compost could bring positive economic benefits to rice production. The experimental results can provide technical and theoretical support for kitchen waste compost.
