Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. It investigated the women’s access to economic resources and
examined the influence of selected socio-economic characteristics of women and access to economic
resources on their participation in agricultural production. Multistage random sampling technique was used
to select 50 respondents for this study. The research was carried out with the use of well structured
interview schedule to obtain the necessary data. Both descriptive and inferential analytical tools were
employed. Probit analysis was employed to investigate the determinants of women participation in
agricultural production in the study area. The empirical results revealed that household size, marital status
and local taboos had significant impact on the women participation in agricultural production; all at 5%
probability level with a log likelihood of -96.160222, pseudo R2 of 0.0875 and LR statistic of 18.44 which
shows that the model has a good fit. Most of the respondents were illiterate with non-formal educational
status which directly informed their participation in agricultural production. The study concludes that there
is high rate of involvement of women in agricultural production in the study area; hence the role of some
socio-economic variables as well as assets such as social capital, landed-property, cash as well as savings
are central in determining the participation level or perception on agricultural production.
