    This research uses data from a recent survey in Niger State, Nigeria to look at how risk management techniques and climatic shocks affect the welfare of farming households. A logistic regression model was used to investigate the effects of various strategies on household food security, while an OLS model was used to investigate the effects of climate shocks on farming households' food availability. Drought-tolerant crops (62.8%), dry-season agricultural production (41.3%), buffer stock (54.6%), and diversification of agricultural activities (60.8%) are the most commonly used mitigation methods. According to the findings, approximately 52% of households were food secure. Floods were a significant factor affecting farming households' food security. Food security was also negatively linked to marital status and household size. Education, gender, farm size, agricultural structure, revenue, and food security were found to have positive and substantial relationships. According to the logit regression results, dry season rice farming has a significant positive relationship with household food security. The research shows that most farmers engage in dry season rice production and cultivate drought-tolerant crops. Governments should allocate more funds to restore irrigation facilities and conduct research on and develop drought-tolerant crops to enhance food security, while ensuring household resilience.
  • Analysis of rice production and the impacts of the usage of certified seeds on yield and income in Côte d'Ivoire
    Sheu-Usman Oladipo Akanbi, Ridwan Mukaila, Abdourasaque Adebisi
    Journal of Agribusiness in Developing and Emerging Economies, 2024
    PurposeAfter a long observation of the high rate of rice importation and low productivity in Côte d’Ivoire, the certified rice seed was introduced and encouraged to be used by the local farmers. This study evaluates the profitability of rice production and the impact of certified seed usage on the yield and income of farmers in Côte d’Ivoire.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 265 rice farmers. Descriptive statistics were used to identify the challenges faced in using certified seeds. Profitability analysis was used to examine the profitability of rice production. To eliminate bias due to the counterfactuals, the endogenous switching regression was employed to investigate the impact of the certified seeds on income and yield.FindingsThe difficulties faced by the rice farmers in the procurement of certified seeds were the unavailability of seeds, the high cost of seeds and poor credit access. Furthermore, rice farmers using certified seeds get a higher net income (USD 263.74/ha) than those using farmers' seeds (USD 212.31/ha). The average treatment on the treated was 1.61 for the yield and 574.75 for the income. The average treatment on the untreated was 1.20 for the yield and 422.59 for the income. These indicate a higher yield and income among adopters of certified rice seed.Research limitations/implicationsCertified rice seed usage is profitable and enhances the output and income of rice farmers. The study advocates the creation of a stronger relationship between the farmers and the extension agents to encourage the use of certified seeds and increase the profit of the farmers.Originality/valueThere is scant information on the profitability of certified rice seed usage and how it affect yield and income. Therefore, this study serves as empirical evidence for policymakers to develop strategies that are required to enhance certified seed usage, boost rice productivity and achieve food security.
  • EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON THE FOOD SECURITY STATUS OF RURAL FARMING HOUSEHOLDS. EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA

    Journal of Agricultural Sciences Belgrade, 2024
    For the past couple of decades, food insecurity has become a major global phenomenon, which makes zero hunger the second Sustainable Development Goal. Nevertheless, COVID-19 has set in and posed a serious threat to the food system. Thus, there is a need to assess its effect on food security. This study, therefore, examined the effects of COVID-19 on the food security of rural farming households in Enugu State, Nigeria. Data collected from 120 households were analysed using descriptive statistics, the food security index, and logistic regression. The results revealed that the majority (64.5%) of the households with a shortfall index of 0.313 were food insecure, while only 35.5% were food secure with a surplus index of 0.109. The average daily equivalent calorie consumption of adults in food insecure and food secure households was 1552.52 and 2506.88 kcal, respectively. Low food availability (p<0.01), an increase in food prices (p<0.01), and the inability to harvest crops (p<0.1) increased the probability of food insecurity. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the imposed lockdown has affected household food security. In contrast, access to credit (p<0.01), education (p<0.1), cooperative memberships (p<0.01), and income (p<0.05) positively influenced food security status. Reducing rational consumption, eating less expensive food, skipping meals, borrowing money to buy food, allowing children to eat first, and engaging in additional small-scale productivity activities were the major food insecurity coping strategies adopted by households during COVID-19. The study recommends the provision of farm inputs and financial support to farmers by governments and NGOs to curb the adverse effects of COVID-19 on food security.
  • ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE of WOMEN HONEY MARKETERS in ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

    Honey marketing is an important off-farm economic activity for women's livelihood and sustenance. Despite this, there is scant information in the literature about the economic performance of women honey marketers. Therefore, this study investigates the economic performance of women marketers, its drivers, and its challenges. Data collected from 120 women honey marketers were analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross profit, net profit, benefit-cost ratio, return on capital invested, operating ratio, marketing margin, and multiple regression. We found that honey marketing was a profitable venture, as indicated by the high gross profit (USD 262.08), net income (USD 257.03), marketing margin (56%), benefit-cost ratio (1.72), and return on capital invested (0.72) per 58.14 liters sold. Honey marketing also had a low operating ratio of 0.57. Thus, women honey marketers performed economically well. The significant factors that enhanced the profitability of honey marketing were education, experience in honey marketing, credit, and membership in an association. While age, purchasing costs, and transportation costs reduced honey marketing profitability. Inadequate capital and credit, price fluctuations, a poor road network, high transportation costs, adulteration, and poor marketing information were the major severe constraints faced in honey marketing. These call for the provision of credit, training, and education to honey marketers by the government to enhance the profitability of the enterprise.

    The technical inefficiencies of crop production system in terms of large-scale irrigation schemes are major problems attributed to the underperformance of crop farms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate and compare farm-level technical efficiencies of four major crop productions system including, pepper, okra, garden egg, and tomato under the large-scale Kampe-Omi irrigation scheme, Nigeria. The data development analysis (DEA) approach was used to study the hypothesized determinants affecting the efficiencies of crop farms using an ordinary least squares regression model. The results showed that the selected pepper, okra, garden egg, and tomato crop farms were fully efficient at 20, 10, 16.92, and 40% under constant return to scale (CRS), and at 13.33, 30, 10.77, and 25.71% under variable return to scale (VRS), respectively. DEA revealed a considerable variation in technical inefficiency among the selected crop farms under the irrigation scheme. The significant determinants of technical efficiencies of the four crop farms include farmers’ age, family size, experience, alternative income, education, credit accessibility, and contact with extension agents. The outcomes of this study are useful for improving production efficiencies while serving as a convenient guide for both farmers and irrigation scheme managers of selected crops.
