ABSTRACT
The study investigates determinants
of access to land in Umuahia North Local Government Area. Collection of data
was done via the use of well structured questionnaires. The socio-economic
variables and method of land acquisition were analyzed using descriptive
statistics such as frequency tables' percentages and mean. The multiple
regression technique was used to identify factors that influenced access to
land and the effect of family size on size of land holdings. The result
obtained showed that level of education (X3), occupation (X5) and monthly
income (X6) were significant variables affecting access to the number of plots
in the study area and were significant at 1%, 1% and 1% respectively. Farmers
could therefore maximize access to land through improved literacy level, fresh
zeal for farming (Primary occupation) to improve production. This of course
increase income level of household.
