The data were collected using a structured and validated questionnaire administered interpersonally to 160 snail marketers in four randomly selected markets in selected Local Government Area (LGA) situated in Ibadan. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools; these include frequencies, mean, median, mode and multiple regression. Findings from the socioeconomic characteristics revealed that majority (98.1 %) of the respondents were female and only 1.9 % were male. Majority (91.9 %) of marketers were married with 27.5 % in the 31–40 years age group. Majority (89.4 %) raised their capital through personal savings and had over 16 years of marketing experience. All respondents (100 %) were involved in wholesale marketing of different species of snail ...

This study evaluated the economic aspect of selected agroforestry practices in Ogun State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 240 respondents involved in agroforestry practices from four agricultural zones in Ogun State (Abeokuta, Ilaro, Ikenne and Ijebu-Ode). Data were collected with the aid of structured and pre-tested questionnaire administered interpersonally to the respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cost and returns analysis. The mean age of the agroforestry farmers was 53 years; and the majority (76.7%) was male; married (89.6%), the average household size of six. Most of the respondents (64.5%) funded their farms from personal savings. The mean farming experience was 19 years and the mean farm size was...

This study therefore, compared the production efficiency of male and female cassava farmers in Odeda and Obafemi-Owode Local Government Areas (LGAs) of gun State. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents from the two local government areas. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, cost and returns analysis, t-test of difference of two means and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The mean age of the male and female farmers was 45 and 48 years respectively. Majority of the farmers, male (88.50%) and female (97.60%) were mailed. Most (54.80%) of the female farmers and 25.60% of the male farmers had no formal education. The mean household sizes for the male and female farmers were 8 and 7 people respectively. Majority of the farmers, male (67.90%) and female (54.8%) funded their farms from personal income. The average farm size cultivated by the male and female farmers was 0.96 ha and 1.04ha respectively while the mean output of cassava for the male and female farmers was 15,591.11kg and 13,392.86kg respectively. The results showed that the total revenues generated were W187, 093.29k and W160, 714.33k, with a net profit of W34, 541.16k and W30, 3 2.l6k for the male and female cassava farmers respectively. The t-test revealed that there was no significant difference (p<0.05) between the profits of the male and female fanners. The return on investment was found to be 0.226 and 0.232 for the male and female farmers respectively. The return to scale value of 0.313 showed that cassava farmers were operating in the rational stage of the production surface. The technical efficiency estimates for both male and female cassava farmers were 0.54 and 0.59 respectively, while the pooled efficiency estimate ranged between 0.05 and 0.90 with a mean efficiency of 0.55. The most prominent problems facing cassava production in the study area were found to be rodent infestation and inadequate rainfall. Conclusively, the study found out that there was no significant difference between the efficiency of cassava production among male and female farmers, which implies that the males are not more efficient than the females in the production of cassava in the study area. The study recommended that female farmer's interest should be sustained by giving them the necessary incentives to improve their efficiency.
