Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
This work examined the influence of farmers multipurpose cooperative societies FMCS on vegetable production in Enugu State, Nigeria, as the broad objective. Specifically, the study examined the effect of farm resources from all sources on vegetable crops output and ascertained the effect of farm resources obtained from cooperatives on vegetable farm profitability. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 3,020 FMCS with a membership of 30,257. A sample size sample of 353 was gotten by the application of Taro Yamani sample size formula. Primary data was used for the study. The research instrument was subjected to face and content validation. The reliability of the instrument was determined by a test re test method which returned a coefficient of .94. Descriptive and inferential were used in data analysis and hypotheses were tested at a 5 level of significance. Results indicated that farm resources from all sources statistically significantly predicted vegetable farm profitability F = 20.727, p .05 and that farm resources obtained from cooperatives statistically significantly predicted vegetable farm profitability F = 32.638, p .05 . It was concluded that FMCS have an influence on vegetable production in Enugu State. Sequel to this, it was recommended among others that farmers should be encouraged to join FMCS in Enugu State because of its obvious advantages.
