Assessing the determinants of cassava yield and its impact on household food security in Nigeria
Ensuring food security remains a significant challenge for rural farming households in Nigeria, where fluctuations in agricultural productivity directly affect household welfare and nutritional outcomes. Accordingly, this study investigates the relationship between cassava yield and household food security among cassava-farming households in Nigeria, using nationally representative data from the 2018–2019 Nigeria General Household Survey (GHS-Pan…
Adoption of climate change adaption techniques and its impact on net farm income of maize farmers in Southwest, Nigeria
Climate change threatens agricultural productivity, especially among smallholder maize farmers in Nigeria. Although climate change adaptation strategies (CCAS) are promoted, evidence on adoption dynamics and income effects remains limited. This study analyzes the determinants of CCAS adoption and its income impacts using advanced econometric methods. Data from 300 maize farmers, selected through multistage sampling across major producing regions,…
Determinants of organic fertilizer adoption and its implications for poverty reduction among farming households in Nigeria
Organic fertilizers play a critical role in restoring soil fertility and promoting sustainable agriculture, with important implications for rural poverty reduction. This study examines the determinants of organic fertilizer adoption and its impact on household welfare among rural farming households in Nigeria, using data from 616 households in the 2018/2019 Nigeria General Household Survey (GHS). Results from the Probit model show that education,…
Leveraging agricultural cooperative membership to improve the technical efficiency of smallholder cocoa farmers in Nigeria
Agricultural cooperatives have emerged as a viable strategy for improving farmers' technical efficiency. This study investigates the impact of cooperative membership on the technical efficiency of smallholder cocoa farmers in Nigeria. A multistage sampling approach was adopted, and data were analysed using Probit regression and an endogeneity-corrected Stochastic Frontier model. The Probit regression results showed that several factors significan…
Determinants of use of digital innovation and its impact on land acquisition and food security among farming households in Nigeria
Unlocking access to livelihood capitals and its impact on land allocation decisions among smallholder farmers in Nigeria
Understanding the factors contributing to food security among under-recognised indigenous vegetable farming households in Nigeria
Integrating under-recognised indigenous vegetables into cropping systems presents a viable strategy for enhancing household food security. Despite their potential, these native crops remain under-researched. This study examined the determinants of food security among households engaged in the cultivation of under-recognised indigenous vegetables in Nigeria. A total of 302 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique from the…
Does microcredit have any impact on profit efficiency? Evidence from smallholder poultry farmers in Nigeria
Impact of access to cash remittances on cocoa yield in Southwestern Nigeria
Access to cash remittances has a positive impact on the food security of people living in developing countries. However, little is known about the impact of access to cash remittances concerning cocoa yield. Therefore, the study investigates the impact of access to cash remittances on cocoa yield. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 300 cocoa farming households for the study. The data were analysed using the exponential double hurd…
Impact of credit constraints on adoption of biofortified food crop among farming households in Nigeria
The prevalence of credit constraints has a significant effect on the adoption of biofortified cassava; hence, low productivity on farms. This research, therefore, investigates the effect of credit constraints on the adoption of biofortified cassava (BC) among farming households. A multistage sampling procedure is employed to select 300 cassava farming households for this study. Data is analyzed using descriptive statistics, seemingly unrelated re…
Leveraging on membership in agricultural cooperatives to alleviate abject poverty among smallholder farming households in Nigeria
Agricultural cooperatives are frequently considered an essential framework that might help smallholder farmers overcome certain obstacles. This study investigated the determinants of agricultural cooperative membership and its impact on the poverty status of smallholder farming households in Nigeria. Primary data were gathered from 240 smallholder farming households using a multistage sampling procedure. The Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke (FGT) Ind…
What determines a sustained use of approved pesticides for cleaner production and its impact on yield? Evidence from the cocoa industry in Osun State, Nigeria
Due to various health issues connected to the use of pesticides, cleaner production is now necessary for the cocoa sector. The health of people is negatively impacted by the residues left in cocoa beans through a variety of active pesticide components, solvents, and other pollutants. Whereas, in developing countries, due to their economic, social, and cultural limitations, usage of approved pesticides has been low, which is due to many reasons wh…
Impact of certification on market performance of cocoa industry in Osun State, Nigeria
This study investigated the effect of certification on the market performance of the cocoa industry using primary data from a cross-sectional survey of 240 cocoa marketers. Considering counterfactual scenarios, this study analyzed the effects of certification on the net marketing margin of cocoa marketers using the endogenous switching regression model (ESRM) and for the robustness evaluation, inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment (I…
Impact of compliance with European Union (EU) regulations on the income of actors along the cocoa supply chain in Osun state, Nigeria
Compliance with EU regulations has received a lot of attention, but, its impact on the welfare of actors along the cocoa supply chain has been left unexplored. The study investigated the impact of compliance with EU regulations on the income of actors along the cocoa supply chain. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 200 cocoa farmers, 50 produce-buyers, 50 agrochemical sellers, and 10 exporters for the study. Primary and secon…
