  • Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria
    ISSN (Print): 2476-8316 ISSN (Online): 2635-3490 Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (DUJOPAS), Vol. 4 No. 2 December 2018 Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes In Kano State, Nigeria Abdulkadir, H¹*; Adefila, J. O²; & Yusuf, R. O.2 ¹Department of Geography, Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Kano State, Nigeria. [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria Abstract Agriculture is an important sector in the economic development and poverty alleviation drive of many countries. The importance of this sector is more pronounced in developing countries such as Nigeria. The persistent failure of agricultural development programmes in Nigeria has demonstrated the weakness of the policies coupled with inability of the successive administrations to resolve the fundamental problems of development. The major goal of this study is to analyse spatial variation in agricultural development programmes in Kano State. Questionnaire survey and documented materials constituted major sources of data. Twelve Local Government Areas were purposely selected across the three Senatorial districts. A total of 384 respondents were randomly selected in the administration of the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. Also, inferential statistics such as the location quotient (LQ) was employed to measure level of variations in agricultural development programmes. The location quotient result is categorized into upper, middle and bottom based on the performance of each Local Government Area in agricultural development programmes The upper group include Tofa(0.80), Madobi(1.10), Warawa(1.20) and Kura (1.30) While the middle group include Gwarzo(1.34), Gaya (1.39), Danbatta(1.40) and Tsanyawa(1.45).

  • Farmer Preferences for Adopting Drought-Tolerant Maize Varieties: Evidence from a Choice Experiment in Nigeria
    Farmer preferences for adopting drought-tolerant maize varieties: evidence from a choice experiment in Nigeria. (Premilinary Draft-Not to be cited) Authors: Zainab Oyetunde-Usman and Apurba Shee Submitted for presentation in the lightning session of the 2021 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting. Abstract Maize is an important food crop in sub-Saharan Africa and provides staple food needs for the majority of rural maize farm households, yet it is highly vulnerable to prolonged dry spells and drought stress which has impacted poor productivity and welfare. In Nigeria, a similar event unfolds in the maize production system despite the availability of the drought-tolerant maize varieties. Poor adoption of drought-tolerant maize varieties persistently derails the goals of improving food security and the welfare of the populace. This study questions the likelihood of farmers’ perceived preferences for various drought-tolerant maize traits and the implicit value they are willing to place on it, as a drawback to rapid adoption. This research thus adopts the DCE approach to elicit preference information on the attributes and the implicit price farmers are willing to pay using choice cards and household data from 320 maize farm households in Gwarzo and Rano local government areas in Kano State Nigeria. The Mixed logit and Hierarchical Bayesian model are comparatively used for more robust analysis in preference and willingness to pay space. The result shows that the most preferred attributes by farm households in the study areas include high drought-tolerant, yield, high nitrogen use efficiency, and early maturing attributes. The WTP estimates show that maize farmers place a high value on drought-tolerant attributes which is 1.11 times and 1.29 times more than the value farmers place on yield and high nitrogen use efficiency attributes respectively.
