In this paper, we examine the diversity of risks that affect farming in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. We also investigate the perspectives of these risks in relation to their economic implications on the farming enterprises. We also show that through reorganization of these risks, some ...

In this study, we examine the diversity of risks that affect fanning in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. We also investigate the perspectives of these risks in relation to their economic implications on the farming enterprises. We also show that through reorganization of these risks, some ...

The attitudes of farmers towards risks influence their decision to invest into farming. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is important for crop development. This paper uses a combination of Ridge and Tobit regression analyses to determine the factors influencing risk aversi...

It has been argued that the limited success of Nigeria in rural development programmes could be due to absence of a prior analysis of attitudes towards, risk inherent in traditional agriculture. This paper was therefore conceived to explain farmers’ cropping patterns vis-à-vis their attitudes tow...


Olarinde, L.O.Manyong, Victor M.Okoruwa, V.O.[Analysing optimum and alternative farm plans for risk averse grain crop farmers in Kaduna state, northern Nigeria]Analysing optimum and alternative farm plans for risk averse grain crop farmers in Kaduna state, northern Nigeria

This paper applies econometric analyses to quantitatively determine the individual risk attitudes of sampled maize farmers in the dry savanna zone of Nigeria. The extent of the risk attitudes are then made the basis for categorizing the farmers into three groups of low, intermediate and high risk...

In sub-Saharan Africa, there is increasing interest for the adaptation and use of the innovation systems approach to advance learning and development in the Agricultural Research and Development (ARD) sector. This crave is constrained by unavailability of a proven blue print that describe the par...

This paper analysed the baseline productive efficiencies of the cereal–legume farmers in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria. The paper also investigated the factors that affected the technical efficiency of the sampled farmers. Baseline data collected on cereal-legume farmers who belong to four Innovat...
