Research Findings

The ADPs were designed in response to a fall in agricultural productivity and hence a concern to sustain domestic food supplies. The study examined “Financing Agriculture in Nigeria through Agricultural Extension Services of Agricultural Development Programmes.” It sought to ascertain the extent to which agricultural extension services of the agricultural development programmes have impacted the financing of agriculture in six selected local government areas in Edo South senatorial district, Nigeria using a sample of 120 respondents. Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents. Interview schedule served as the research instrument. The research data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation, which served as the inferential statistics. The research findings showed that the extension services of ADP have impacted significantly on crop development in the selected communities but have not had significant impact on employment creation and the development of infrastructural facilities. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference between the implementation of the projects in the selected communities, as revealed by the correlation test. On the basis of the research findings, the need for a complete redesign of the project to ensure that it achieves its stated goals as well as ensure proper monitoring of its implementation were suggested, among others.

The Impact

The impact of extension contact on crop income is examined with a view to evaluating the agricultural extension in Bangladesh. The scope of the study was ten villages of Gazipur district. The objectives of the study are to i) determine the factors influencing the benefit of extension services in terms of farm income, ii) determine the factors affecting the extension contact of farmers, and iii) suggest some policy guidelines to improve the extension services in Bangladesh. The sample of the study consists of 1000 farmers. Data came from field survey and multistage random sampling technique was used in order to collect data. The results indicated that the impact of extension contact coefficient on crop income is positive and significant. Evidence shows that the influence of extension contact coefficient is strongly positive and significant in the comparatively nearer villages to upazila headquarters, while this effect is weaker for those villages, which are comparatively away from upazila headquarters. It is found that many farmers did not receive extension contact and the effect of extension contact is weak on crop income compared to other factors such as irrigation and chemical fertilizer. It is assumed that there was enough scope to increase extension contact in the study areas. Some determinants of extension contact were also examined. The study concludes that agricultural extension is necessary to increase among the farmers. Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 38(2): 321-334, June 2013 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v38i2.15893

Extension System

Agricultural extension system plays a crucial role in increasing agricultural productivity and farm income, strengthening food security, improving rural livelihoods, and promoting agriculture as an engine of rural economic growth. In India, a Central Department of Agriculture was established after the Orissa famine during 1866. Department of Agriculture in Bihar was established in 1912 after separation of Bihar from Bengal. After independence, several programmes like IADP, IAAP, HYVP etc were implemented in Bihar, which fetched good results. Later on, Training and Visit approach of extension was also implemented which was subsequently replaced by NATP. Currently, pluralistic extension services in Bihar is prevailing which includes central and state Government agencies, ICAR, KVKs, SAUs, NGOs and private sector organizations. Despite all the efforts, transfer of technology programmes are yet to achieve desired success. Duplication of extension services is being observed as many agencies work in same set of selected villages. Recently, using Agriculture Road Map of Bihar, Government has launched several agricultural development programmes for transfer of modern agricultural technology, which may likely to improve access of farmers to modern agricultural technology. To make extension more pragmatic, some of the activities including supply of quality inputs and market linkage of the produce should be the part of core extension programme.
