Abstract
The effect of insecticide treated net of Roll Back Malaria Programme on Productivity and Income of Farmers in Kogi State, Nigeria was analysed in this study. Sample of 240 respondents was selected using multi-stage sampling procedure. Primary data were used for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and were analysed using Descriptive Statistics, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression, Multiple Linear Regression and Independent Sample t-test. The results of the analyses showed that 66.39% of the beneficiaries were male and 81.82% of non-beneficiaries were male, mean age of respondents was 45 years, 87.39% of the beneficiaries were married whereas 90.91% of non-beneficiaries were married. The mean household size was 8 persons, mean years of education was 12 years. The average years of farming experience was 12 years and mean annual income was N96, 000. Also, farm size (0.001), hired labour (0.004) and quantity of fertilizers (0.002) had significant effect on farm productivity. Factors with positive effect on the production efficiency included age (0.000), educational attainment (0.021), farming experience (0.000), sex (0.002) and access to insecticide treated net (0.020). There was no significant difference in farm income between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of long lasting insecticide-treated net of roll back malaria programme. Government should complement the Roll Back Malaria programme with free or low priced malaria treatment since the cost of treating malaria is high.
