IMPACT OF THE NATIONAL SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR FOOD SECURITY ON LIVESTOCK FARMERS IN IDEATO SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF IMO STATE
ABSTRACT
This study was designed to assess the impact of the National Special Programme for Food Security on livestock farmers in Ideato south Local Government Area, Imo State. A sample frame of 1200 farmers was selected out of which 120 livestock farmers randomly selected from six villages. Sixty participating farmers from three villages where the NSPFS programme was implemented were interviewed to examine their socioeconomic characteristics, level of living, level of awareness, adoption level and income level. The other sixty non participant farmers from the remaining three villages where National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) was not implemented were also interviewed. Data were generated from both participants and non-participants farmers through the use of a questionnaire and the data were analysed by the use of descriptive statistics and T-test statistics. Seventy percent of the farmers were males and about 50 percent were between 51 and 60 years. The study showed that there were significant differences between income, livestock production and level of living of participant and nonparticipant farmers. The null hypotheses were therefore, rejected, since the calculated T-test of 3.4, 2.7, and 10.4, respectively were outside the acceptance region of 1.96. More than 80 percent of the participant farmers claimed that they adopted the livestock management practices introduced by the NSPFS. The overall assessment showed that there were great impacts of the programme on the income, livestock production and level of living of the participant farmers. The results of the study, therefore, showed that more awareness should be created. There was also need for the programme to be implemented to other villages in the Study area. There should be adequate supply of inputs to the farmers as well as improved extension services to enhance production of livestock production in Ideato South Local Government Area. The programme should be extended to all the 774 Local Government Areas of the Country. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page – – – – – – – – – i Declaration – – – – – – – – – ii Certification – – – – – – – – iii Dedication – – – – – – – – – iv Acknowledgements- – – – – – – – v Abstract – – – – – – – – – vii Table of Contents – – – – – – – – viii List of Tables – – – – – – – – x CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION – – – – – – – 1 1.1 Problem Statement – – – – – – 5 1.2 Objectives of the Study – – – – – – 8 1.3 Justification of the Study – – – – – 8 1.4 Hypotheses of the Study- – – – – – 9 CHAPTER TWO 2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW – – – – – – 11 2.1 Introduction – – – – – – – 11 2.2 Socio-Economic Characteristics of Farmers – – 11 2.3 Level of Livestock Production by Small Scale Farmers – 14 2.4 Impact of Government Programmes on Livestock Farmers- 18 2.5 Impact
