Book Decentralization agricultural services and determinants of input use in Nigeria

Download or read book Decentralization agricultural services and determinants of input use in Nigeria written by Akramov, Kamiljon T. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The substantial differences in agricultural productivity between Asia and Africa can be largely explained by differences in use of modern inputs. The evidence suggests that better access to infrastructure (such as roads and irrigation) and agricultural services has given Asian farmers significantly better access to modern inputs, while Sub-Saharan African farmers without such an access are not able to fully exploit the benefits of modern agricultural inputs. This brief discusses the relationship between agricultural service provision and modern input use by farmers in Nigeria, with a focus on the differences among states and local government areas (LGA).

Book Off farm Income and Investments in Agricultural Inputs

Download or read book Off farm Income and Investments in Agricultural Inputs written by Saliem Haile and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various studies have documented the effects of off-farm income on investments in specific agricultural inputs. However, few studies had empirically tested the impacts of specific forms of off-farm income on a combination of agricultural input investments and no study to date exists for Nigeria. Such an analysis can reveal the relative impacts of alternative forms of off-farm income on the investment choices of farmers and, perhaps, the best policy choices to achieve improvements in technologies and inputs that are most limiting in achieving agricultural sector growth. In this study, I use the World Bank's LSMS panel data and a range of econometric models to test the relationship between the three most common types of off-farm income (remittances, off-farm wages and enterprise profit) received by Nigerian households and investments in agricultural input such as seed, fertilizer, land and machinery. Using the Seemingly Unrelated Bivariate Probit regression Model, I empirically find jointness in the decisions to use an agricultural input and work off-farm. Using a multivariate probit regression model, I find off-farm income sources to have significant effects on the use of most agricultural inputs. Furthermore, I find a strong degree of interdependence between alternative agricultural input use decisions. The results suggest that policies that strongly promote off-farm income show promise in improving the use of a portfolio of farm inputs, and should enhance agricultural production amongst Nigeria's farm households.

Book Roles of public expenditures and public investments on the demand and productivity of agricultural inputs services Some insights from Nigeria

Download or read book Roles of public expenditures and public investments on the demand and productivity of agricultural inputs services Some insights from Nigeria written by Takeshima, Hiroyuki and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge gaps remain as to how longer-term public investments (PI) such as agricultural research and development (R&D), and short-term interventions through other public expenditures in agriculture (PEA) complement each other in enhancing productivity and efficiency in the agrifood sector. This study attempts to partly fill this gap by using nationally representative panel household survey data, subnational PEA data, locations of national agricultural R&D, and various spatial agroclimatic data in Nigeria. The analyses generally indicate that marginal returns to agricultural inputs/services (fertilizer, agricultural mechanization, irrigation, extension, agricultural equipment, and family labor) often increase by PI that raise overall agroclimatic similarity (AS) (through R&D locations), as well as increase PEA-share by subnational governments. There is often complementarity between these PI and PEA, particularly for extension services, investment in agricultural equipment, irrigation, and in the northern part of the country. Promoting further adoptions of modern inputs/services, increasing PEA-share, and selecting PI for agricultural R&D given in-country variations in agroclimatic conditions can help raise agricultural profitability and incomes in Nigeria.
