Abstract.In their paper [3], Ratti et al proved that a semi ring is anti-commutative if and only if it is a product of two semi rings $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ such that $S_{1}$ is a left multiplication and $S_{2}$ is a right multiplication. The object of the present paper is to extend the above results for a product of $n$ semi rings $S_{1}$, $S_{2}$,$S_{3}$,$ . . . $, $S_{n}.$ We improve and make extensive use of Ratti and Lin's method throughout. Finally, we provide a counterexample which shows that the hypothesis of our theorems are not all together superfluous.
