Change in Yield and Profitability of Improved Soybean Production in Guinea Nigeria (Case Study of Borno and Kaduna States)
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Agricultural Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The study analysed the Profitability of Improved Soybean Productionas a result ofimprovementin yield inNigeria. Nigeria. Primary data was collected from 162 respondents in the(Tropical Legume II)TL II and non-TL II communities in the study area using multistage sampling technique. Findings from double difference (DD) estimate showedthat clear difference incrop yields exist between before and after the project.Result from gross margin analysis revealed that the average gross income of the TL II participants was higher by N36, 770.5 than the non-TL II participants indicating that improved soybean production is profitable in the study area. Findings from descriptive statistics showed that major constraints faced by the respondents include pest and diseases, lack of market and low price of soybean among others.In view of the above, it is recommended thatTL II project be replicated by Borno and Kaduna State Governments and other interested organizations.Non-TL II farmersshouldcopy from the improved soybean farmers. Farmers should be properly linked to existing soybean markets and more should be created by the TL II project to consume the surplus.Farmers need to be trainedon the management practicesandhow to control pest and diseases of soybean by the TL II project.
