Title

Economic analysis of wheat (triticum aestivum L.) production in Jigawa Sgate, Nigeria

Abstract

The study examined socio-economic characteristics and associated constraints of wheat farmers in twelve local government of Jigawa State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study are: to identify and describe the socio-economic characteristic of wheat farmers in the study area and to determine constraints militating against wheat production in the study area. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in collecting the data. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The major findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents are male, married and are within the age range of 21-65years and a mean age of 40years. The result further showed that the respondents had one form of education or the other, with secondary education as the highest (31%) and had 5-30years of experience with a mean of 14years of farming experience. The household size of the respondents ranges from 5-20 with a mean of 6 households. The farm size of the respondents ranges from 0.1-4ha. The findings identified the following constraints: high cost of fertilizer, high cost of fuel, high cost of labour, inability to access loans, inadequate extension agents among others. Socio-economic characteristics of wheat farmers should be taken into consideration while formulating policies and introduction of new technologies to rural farmers. Credit facilities should be made less cumbersome and with little interest rate to producers. Adequate extension workers should be provided and supported to deliver. Fuel should be subsidized to enable farmers benefit from their efforts were among the recommendations.
