ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF RESOURCE USE
AMONG URBAN WATERLEAF FARMERS IN AKWA IBOM STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study
estimated the efficiency of resource use among urban waterleaf farmers in Akwa
Ibom State
using a sample of 60 respondents that were randomly selected (20) from three
urban
centers in the state. Interview schedules and structured questionnaires were
administered
to elicit information from the respondents. Data were analyzed using
descriptive
statistics, multiple regression and gross margin. The results showed that, most
(85%)
farmers were within the economically active age bracket (21-50yrs). All the
farmers
were female
with a mean house hold size of eight. Majority (90%) of the farmers were
literate
with a mean
farming experience of 8.5 years.
The average
farm size was 0.065ha, and waterleaf was planted as a sole crop to obtain high
output. The multiple regression analysis showed that educational level,
household size, farming experience, quantity of manure, labour and farm size
positively and significantly influenced the output of waterleaf in the study
area. The efficiency ratios of farm size (28.68), manure (42.11) and labour
(0.91), showed that waterleaf farmers were inefficient in the use of these
resources. Land resource
and manure
were underutilized, while labour was over- utilized. Gross margin analysis
showed that
farmers made profit (Gross margin = N 287,252.52 per hectare). Lack of access
to credit
facilities was the farmer’s major constraints. It is therefore recommended that
credit
facilities
should be provided to the urban farmers, and extension agent should take
advantage of the literate farmers to disseminate research information
