ABSTRACT
Agriculture is an important
sector of the economy of most developing countries. It is a source of food,
foreign exchange earnings, personal income and raw material for agro-based
industries, in a growing or developing economy, agriculture is usually the dominant
sector. It is usually the source of growth for the other sectors of the economy
Onyebinama (2000). Hence efforts are made by successive government in
developing countries including Nigeria to ensure sustainable agricultural
development. Nigeria agriculture is dominated by a large number of small-scale
producers who are rural dwellers. Their holdings are small (most often less
than 2 acres) and are characterized by low productivity. This leads to low
income and low capital investment (Nwosu et al, 2000). The present agricultural
production technology of the rural fanner is crude and highly labour intensive.
It is characterized by widespread shortage of inputs, including labour, seeds
and fertilizers. Storage and marketing facilities for agricultural produce are
also underdeveloped.
