Abstract:

The study investigated agricultural credit utilization among small-scale women farmers in selected wards of Bida Local Government Area of Niger State. The specific objectives were to examine small-scale women farmers, to identify the major sources of credit to small-scale farmers and to determine the benefit (if any) which small-scale women farmers had derived after acquiring credit for their farm operations. Data were collected from one hundred respondents randomly selected from five wards with the aid of interview schedule administered by the researchers. Statistical tools used for data anal

Abstract : Local sheep farming in Indonesia, especially in rural areas, is essential in supporting food security and improving the community’s economy. Sheep not only provide a source of animal protein but also contribute to farmers’ income. This study aims to identify the characteristics of sheep farmers in Gucialit Village, Lumajang Regency, East Java, which has excellent potential for developing the livestock sector. The method used is a case study with primary data collection through direct observation and farmer interviews. Samples were taken using incidental sampling techniqu

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the nexus between small-scale freshwater aquaculture and poverty-related factors like income generation and food security in rural Madagascar. Evidence of this relationship is scarce in the Global South, particularly in island states. Using linear and logistic regressions and data collected from fish farmers and consumers across six regions in Madagascar in 2021, we obtained significant findings. Extension services, integrated production systems, and higher education are positively correlated with fish-based income generation. For instance, membership in a cooper

Abstract:

About two third of the farming community in Pakistan consists of small farmers who are characterised by small land holdings (less than 5 hectares) and by several factors that influence their productive potential and income generating capacity [Pakistan (1998)]. Livestock farming is an integral part of rural smallholders and has a vast untapped potential for productivity increase and income generation. Livestock holdings by the small farmers constitute a significant portion of the farm incomes. Small farmers and landless livestock producers derive around 10-25 percent of their incomes from this

Abstract:

The agricultural industry is critical to human life, yet it is not comparable to small farmer’s income in Indonesia. The number of farmer households is decreasing, and the average age of farmers is increasing. The agricultural industry is no longer appealing to the younger generation due to a variety of issues experienced by Indonesian farmers. The majority of Indonesian farmers are small-scale, with little land and production. Farmers also face obstacles such as not having sufficient skills in agricultural business which results in low productivity and no added value to their production. This

<em>Contract farming in vegetable production has emerged as a significant agricultural business model, with the global contract farming market reaching USD 98.5 billion in 2023. This study analyzes the economic benefits and challenges faced by stakeholders in vegetable contract farming systems. Research across developing countries shows that contract farmers experience 25-40% higher income compared to independent farmers, primarily due to guaranteed market access and price stability. Data from India indicates that contract farming in vegetables has reduced market uncertainty by 60% and post-ha

Abstract:

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) stands out as a remarkably multipurpose crop, playing a pivotal role in sustaining the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and bolstering their income. This study delves into the cassava value chain in Vietnam's Central Highlands, aiming to pinpoint avenues for amplifying production efficiency and refining the overall value chain dynamics. Employing a comprehensive approach, the analysis combines a survey-based questionnaire distributed to 330 smallholder farmers, focused group discussions across three provinces and in-depth interviews with key informants.

Abstract:

In this article we describe an initiative from the local wool growing industry to integrate small-scale farmers in the wool chain in the Transkei area, one of the former homelands of South Africa. These communities are poor and sustain their livelihoods from diverse income sources, primarily pensions and remittances; therefore income-generating activities are needed to alleviate poverty. In this light, agriculture remains an important activity for many of the rural poor in former homelands to generate food and cash. Small-scale farmers, however, face many challenges, such as inadequate access
