(JAAT-1) Impact of Tungan-Kawo Irrigation Scheme on Rice Production in Wushishi Local Government Area, Niger State, Nigeria Ibrahim Jalaludeen S., M. B. Yunusa PhD & M.A. Emigilati PhD Department of Geography Federal University of Technology Minna, Nigeria Abstract This study seek to examine the impact of Tungan-kawo irrigation scheme on rice production in Wushishi Local Government Area, Niger state, Nigeria. Tara Yamane’s sampling technique was used to derive 400 farmers/respondents from the population of the study. Data was collected through the use of structured questionnaires which was subjected to analysis using frequencies, percentages and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient of multiple regression analysis. From a response rate of 91.75% deduced, about 66.8% of the farmers were between the age of 18 to 38 years. This portends an indication that there is opportunity for more active years in agricultural activities. The study revealed that 93% of respondents were male. The marital status of farmers involved in the study indicated that 92.1% were married. The level of educational qualification of respondents was highly appreciated as a substantial number of them had formal education, where 52.9% had tertiary education. 87.5% of the respondents embrace farming as a major occupation. Within the demographic characteristics of the farmers, 70.0% of respondents had household size of 6 to 10. Farmers average experience in paddy production was recorded to be 11-20 years while findings showed that ownership type of land cultivated was majorly through inheritance and rentage with an average farm size of 5 acres.

A well-structured questionnaire and field observations was used to collect data from local milk producers with lactating cows and vendors from Niger and Kwara State. There was a great variation in dairy production practises across the two states. Result indicates that more than 70% of respondents were females below 20years of age. The respondents were mostly Fulani 80%-100%, across the two States. In terms of Educational qualifications, 90%-100% of the Pastoralists in all the LGAs did not attend Western education. The use of bottles in marketing of milk products was observed in Agaie LGA. Eight out of ten LGAs surveyed revealed 45%-100% no sanitary inspector visitation or inspection of their milk product. This study presents findings that could be used for planning strategies for standardization of processing methods of dairy products and forming of policies that can lead to the improvement of the dairy industry as well as public health safety Key words: dairy farm, microbiological survey, milk products, Traditional Technology, 1.0 Introduction Dairy production contributes about 12.7% of agricultural gross domestic products in Nigeria.

Structured questionnaire was used to elicit data from 350 registered respondents drawn from Niger State, Nigeria. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Probit and multiple regression. The result reveals that the farmers' mean age was 40. About 85 % of them were married with a household size of 1-5 persons. The result of probit showed that availability of active labour force, income from the sorghum, number of trainings, access to extension service and market access were the major determinants to farmers’ participation in sorghum innovation platform. Major constraints were, untimely meetings, poor means of transportation, information gap and complexity of innovation. The study concludes that farmers were willing to participate in sorghum-based innovation platform but do not have enough capital base. The study recommends that farmers should be linked up with credit institutions and timely meetings should be conducted.
