Abstract:

Although there are diverse kinds of leafy vegetables in Nigeria, fluted pumpkin is one of the most consumed. However, the high perishability of its leaves has been a source of concern, of which mild processing has been suggested in the literature as a way out. Several studies have been done on the production and profitability of fluted pumpkins. However, none exist on consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for processed fluted pumpkins based on sensory/organoleptic attributes in Nigeria. This study, therefore, fills this gap by investigating consumers' perception of processed fluted pumpkin leave

Abstract:

A study was carried out to investigate the econometric analysis of fluted pumpkin, Telfairia occidentalis production in South East, Nigeria. For this study, multi-stage random sampling was used to select 222 fluted pumpkin farmers using structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. It was observed in the study that the majority of the fluted pumpkin growers were females, married, relatively educated, and within productive age. A high productivity ratio was recorded by 39% of the fluted pumpkin growers due to exposure to

Abstract:

The survey examined constraints of organic farming technologies among small-scale vegetable farmers in South-South zone of Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select the study location and respondents. Data were collected from 480 small-scale organic vegetable farmers using structured questionnaire. Data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that majority (93.00%) of organic fluted pumpkin farmers were challenged with inadequate finance, 92.80% were faced with shortage of organic materials, 86.10% with poor awareness, 72.40% faced poor ma
