The study was carried out to analyzed rice production and poverty reduction in Agatu local government area of Benue state, Nigeria. To this end, a multi-stage sampling technique was used. The first stage involved the purposive selection of five wards noted for high production of rice. Secondly, a simple random sampling was used to select twenty five respondents each from the five wards to sum up to one hundred and twenty five respondents used for the study.

The results of the analysis revealed farmers to be in their active age, mostly married, males’ dominance, highly experienced and educated with large families. Annual income from rice production was significant in reducing poverty in the study area pseudo R2 value of 0.886. The overall Chi-Square value was significant at 1% level of probability, also log likelihood value of 135.27. The study recommends the need for credit to be extended to poor farmers to help stimulate their investment in order to increase their income.  Farmers are also encouraged to engage in non-farm activities to raise their level of income.

The study analysed consumer preference for cassava products in Akoko South local Government area of Ondo state, Nigeria. Data were collected from one hundred and ten (110) respondents with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multiple regressions together with correlation Test were used to analyse the study data. The result revealed that the mean age of the household head was found to be 49.5 years and have a mean income of ₦26,800. The result revealed that garri is the major cassava product consumed. The result of the regression revealed that household size and income are the major factor that enhance the consumption of cassava products in the study area. The results of the Pearson Correlation showed that there is no significant relationship between income and the cassava products consumed. The major constraints faced were price of the products, taste, and household size. This research recommends that the Government, Ministries of Agriculture should provide improved technologies for production, processing and adding value to the cassava products. Scientists and bioengineers are encouraged to develop cassava varieties with less cyanide content and healthier for consumption by the old. Extension personnel should provide extensive services for actors of cassava value chain.

However, poor people have very limited access to financial services provided by the formal financial institutions due to the procedures outlined for accessing such loans. In recent time, Microcredit has received global attention owing to its claim in alleviating poverty. This study investigates the impact of microcredit program on poverty reduction among rural households in Saki East Local Government area of Oyo State using logit model and propensity score matching techniques to prove the impact. Findings revealed a negative, non-significant impact of microcredit on poverty reduction among rural households. Therefore, it is recommended that microcredit program should be implemented along with other poverty alleviation strategies.

Oil Palm Biomass

This work examined biomass production from oil palm and its value chain in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State. This work identified the various biomass products derived from oil palm, the value chain of the various types of oil palm Biomass and the level of Utilization of the various oil palm biomass. Ten villages were selected using simple random sampling method. 380 questionnaires were collected out of 400 that were distributed which helped in generating data on the level of utilization of the various types of biomass derived from oil palm and the farming practices applied in the cultivation of oil palm.
