Economic Analysis of Maize Production Among Irrigation Farmers in Orire Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria
摘要
This study analyzed economic value of maize production among irrigation farmers in Orire Local Government, Oyo State, Nigeria. The objectives of this study are to： identify the most important resources used by the farmers in maize production; estimate the production function in order to determine the economic efficiency of different resource used in maize production. The data were obtained through a survey of 80 farmers, comparing farmers using pump and those using shadoof methods of irrigation for maize cultivation. Simple descriptive statistics and Cobb-Douglas production function used revealed that fertilizer was underutilized. The marginal productivity of labour was positive but lower than the average acquisition cost for both techniques of irrigation. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. Well structured questionnaire and interview schedule were used as approaches to collect data from respondents. The results showed that irrigation users were small-scale farmers, cultivating small hectare of land using simple farm tools, practicing pump irrigation or calabash system. Regression analysis revealed that land, labour purchase inputs had a positive relationship with the output of the enterprises, the linear programming analysis revealed that opportunities existed for increasing profit through resources re-organization, budgetary analysis was used to show that irrigation was profitable.
