Economic Analysis of Rice Value Chain in Kano State, Nigeria

Agricultural development projects and policy makers in Nigeria have focused more on the productio... more Agricultural development projects and policy makers in Nigeria have focused more on the production sub-sector of the commodity value chain rather than all the sub-sectors. This has led to an increase in production of agricultural commodities over the decades and a neglect of processing and marketing sub-sectors. This has led to a gap in knowledge of the other sectors. Value chain approach has a holistic approach in identifying with all the sub-sectors of the commodity value chain. This book gives an insight to the rice value chain in Kano, one of the most populous cities in the West African sub-region. The book provides information on actors and supporters of the rice value chain and how the network is organised in terms of relationships, linkages and governance. How value is added and who has the highest margin as the commodity moves from the point of production and processing at rural clusters through consumption at urban centers. The use of social net-mapping adds value to the book as qualitative data are being analyzed qualitatively and the result presented in a cob-web like model. This book should be useful to professional in agricultural marketing field and policy makers.

The paper examines how knowledge-based mode farm driven by scientific, ethical, and technological innovations contributes to ensuring some level of food security during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main research question driving the current study is: in what ways can universities demonstration farms support urban food security during pandemics? The study circumvented lockdown restriction challenges by deploying elevator pitch approach, walk-in interviews, document analysis, and covert observation to elicit the needed data for the study. The CDA farm produced several tons of variety of vegetables using its clean energy and locally recyclable water sources to secure food needs of some urban households during the lockdown. The ability of the farm to effectively embrace sustainable farming system suggests that transitioning to b...

Determinants of Post-Harvest Losses Among Tomato Marketers in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria

Data were analysed with Ordinary Least Square technique and descriptive statistics. The results revealed that tomato marketing was male-dominated with a mean age of 36 years. The findings also revealed a gini-coefficient of 0.4 and that quantity of tomato fruits, time tomato fruits spent on farm after maturity and time taken before tomato is sold to consumers had significant effect on the income of the marketers. The major constraints faced by the marketers included bad road, inadequate storage facilities and, seasonality. It is therefore recommended that government should encourage the establishment of more tomato processing industries to purchase excess tomato fruits during the glut season. Agriculture is a very important sector in Nigeria economy. The inherent characteristics of farm products such as seasonality, bulkiness, perishability and their non-consumable nature make special demand on post harvest management of agricultural products most especially, fruits and vegetables which are usually harvested fresh. Postharvest handling refers to the stage in production process immediately after harvest which include storage, cleaning, packaging, transportation and sorting . It was reported that losses in agricultural production are estimated at 20 to 40% in developing countries, like Nigeria, depending on the crop and the season and that, as much as 40% vegetables are

Analysis of Market Structure and Conduct of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera, L.) in Jigawa State, Nigeria

All the traders were male, mostly married and within the mean age of 39 years. Majority (42.6%) of the wholesalers had no formal education, with 12-21 years of marketing experience, while 43.3% of the retailers had only attended primary school with 2-11 years marketing experience. High inequality was observed at wholesale (0.75 & 0.78) and retail (079 &0.75) levels. Pest infestation, increased transportation cost and inadequate capital were the major constraints observed. Development of improved varieties that are pests and diseases resistant, provision of appropriate storage, processing, credit and market facilities by all stakeholders, increased local production to boost marketable surpluses to offset demand and ensure all year-round supply of the product and reduced importation were recommended.
