AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF MASAKWA SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolar L. Moench) PRODUCTION IN YOLA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ADAMAWA STATE, NIGERIA.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed at conducting an economic analysis of masakwa production in Yola, Adamawa state. One hundred and seventeen (117) farmers were sampled in 2002/03, 2003/04 and 2004/05 seasons. All were randomly selected from 1123 farmers of the Adamawa ADP records. The study indicated that a total of 313 hectares of land were cultivated in Yola masakwa area, giving an average of 3 hectares per farmer. The results of the study also indicated that an average gross margin per hectare of N25, 403 were obtained. The study also revealed that an average of net farm income per hectare of N24870 was obtained. The ztest was statistically significant at 1% level of probability. It can be inferred that the relative profitability of masakwa production ensured the sustainability of the enterprise. The result of the study showed that labour and herbicides were under utilized, while seeds and organic manure were over utilized. The study finally recommended that: (i) Laddo dam constructed by the Cameroon Republic on the river Benue should release water timely. The study recommends a convenant law between the Cameroon Republic and Federal government of Nigeria, (ii) Herbicides should be made available at affordable prices to farmers, so that they can clear weeds on time during production. The study recommends an extension agent at masakwa farms for herbicides handling and usage; since it was under utilized (iii) Research institutes e.g. IAR/ABU and Lake Chad Research Institute (LCRI) should be funded so as to develop tolerable varieties to excessive heat of the area, presently the 3 local cultivars have not been improved scientifically; (iv) Financial institution should provide funds to farmers at a low interest rate to enable them improve labour and other farm inputs on their farms, and (v) Government should provide access roads and transport facilities such as pick-up vans, long trucks and canoes to ease their marketing and transport problems. The study concluded that masakwa production is profitable and therefore calls for other farmers especially the large-scale farmers and NGO’s to invest in masakwa, so as to ease the problems of food and livestock feed shortages in Adamawa State.
