ABSTRACT
The study employed
entrepreneurial behavioural index (EBI) in the assessment of entrepreneurial .
behaviour of the cassava farmers, multiple regressions for estimation of
factors influencing entrepreneurial behaviour of the cassava farmers while the
Pearson’s correlation coefficient and production and constraints militating
against the entrepreneurial capacity of the farmers respectively. Overall
entrepreneurial behaviour of the cassava farmers using EBI showed a mean value
of 0.4529 implying that their entrepreneurial behaviour is adjudged below
average with an EBI range of 0.17 - 0.70. The estimation of factors that
influence entrepreneurial behaviour showed that landholding (4.685***), annual
income (2.893**), farming experience (5.819***), membership of cooperative
(2.657***), market orientation (4.225***) and output (6.074***) positively and
significantly influenced entrepreneurial behaviour at varying probability
levels production showed that EBI and cassava output of the farmers have a
negative relationship which xii The study analyzed entrepreneurial behaviour of
cassava farmers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Beyond the broad objective, the study
sought specifically to assess the entrepreneurial behavior of the farmers were
selected across the three agricultural zones in Ebonyi state using multistage
sampling technique from which data and information were elicited from the
questionnaire. Analytically, the cassava farmers, estimate factors that
