BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY Agriculture
sectors is one of the earliest sector, it starts when man has to survive as
gathering of fruits and nuts. He has depended on the natural burning of the
forest and water body. It is only recently as perhaps ten thousand year ago
that man began to adopt and attempt to domesticate animals and plants. He
began the transition from primitive hunting and gathering and the practices
of animal’s husbandry and tilling of the land. At
first, he did this unconsciously but as time passed he consciously selected
the better forms of animals and pants for breeding purposes. This process has
to continue to accelerate to modern times and has gone so far that the common
agricultural crops and animals of today are very unlike the wide forms. In
modern times men consciously selected both plants and animals according to
the well-established principles of genetic inheritance and breeds form more
closely adapted to his requirement. Agriculture
is a sinequanon to any economy for an economy to develop well the
agricultural sector must be given a dynamic role to play. Inspite of the
important role of agriculture in Edo state, the people or citizen have vague
ideal that agriculture is concerned only with soil cultivation. But a more
comprehensive definition according to Olyyemi (1975) defined agriculture as
the cultivation of soil and the feeding and management of crops and livestock
for the use of man, the disposal of those products for marketing. In some
nation, agriculture sector is give priority because it provide raw material
for the industrial sector, food and meat for the development of man, food and
shelter are basic necessities for human consumption are both originated from
farming activities. Whether one work in secondary or territory sector,
without agriculture, the final output which we rely upon cannot be achieved. As
regard to the important, agriculture provides employment opportunities to the
labour for through direct employment into agricultural and interrelated
industrial and manufacturing sectors. For this, sector contribute
efficiently, there is need for better decision making and implementation,
good management and adoption of cost production techniques distributive
channels, marketing, research for better pricing system, recognition of the
availability of land including soil preservation and provision of storage
facilities. Farm
out become low because the system of farming still involves the use of
simpler farm tools like cutlass and hoe on proper knowledge on how to apply
chemicals to those crops. Capital investment is small and modern input like
fertilizer and improved seeds are still not widely use by most of the
farmers. As
developed and industrialized countries like United State of America, Germany,
Canada, etc agriculture still ranks high in their government privities. This
is so because it provides them on alternative sources of foreign reserve, as
well as internal, direct and indirect economic benefits derived from balanced
terms of trades with other countries. Be that
at it may, poor performance of the agriculture sector to provide adequate
food for the growing population declining productivity of most exported crops
which has contributed to substantial reduction in foreign exchange earning
and declining condition of agricultural products to gross domestic products
in the real terms. STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS Due to
the fact that agriculture play an important role in the development of the
economy of Edo state, some problem are still associated with the production
of agriculture. The attitude of the farmer towards production of crops,
little did they know about new technology of modern farming. Most farmers are
still stick to their old ways as a result of the use of crude equipment in
farming such as cutlass, thereby reducing the yield in production. Cultural
consciousness had made some farmers to willing object to the use of farming
technique because of some cultural belief that if the modern system is
applied, the crops will not do well or the gods of the land will not be happy
with them as such they restrict the production to a particular location, no
need for expansion, this will lead to low productivity. The
fact that most our farmers are low level income earners, they cannot invest
on the purchase of machine that could have boost their production. Also most
people are of the mind that agriculture is simply farming as a matte of fact,
its meant for the low level people, this has made many of them deviate from
the farming practice. OBJECTIVES
OF THE STUDY The
major objectives of the study are: 1.
To identify the problems facing agriculture
production in Edo state. 2.
To examine the role of agriculture in economic
development of Edo state. 3.
To suggest possible solution to the problems that
have emanated. 4.
To make appropriate recommendations to the
farmers or modern use of farming techniques. HYPOTHESIS
In the
light of the objective of the study, the following significances are
formulated. 1.
Inadequate funding leads to low productivity of
agriculture in Edo state. 2.
Conservative attitude of the farmers to adapt to
modern techniques of agricultural practices lead to low agricultural
productivity. 3.
Lack of proper usage of agriculture facilities
such as fertilizer, chemical, etc leads to low production of agricultural
development of the economy. 4.
High level of illiteracy affect the role of
agriculture in the economic development of the state 5.
Government inability to provide incentive to
farmer lead to low productivity of agriculture. SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY The
role of agriculture is a sinequanon in the economic development of Edo state,
as a matter of fact; the importance of agriculture will be enumerated. Agriculture
provides the basic for requirement of the population. Man needs some
essential nutrient for nourishment of the body growth. It also supplies many
of the raw materials for industry for the manufacture of goods for the use of
man. Agriculture
provides income and employment for the majority of the population. Around
ninety percent (90%) of the population of West African employed in
agriculture in Nigeria, seventy (70) percent of the figure are slightly below
the average for the whole west Africa but even in the country, the great
majority of the population depend on agriculture for income and employment. Agriculture
exports are of great importance in earning foreign exchange of the country
that buy these product pay for them in their own currency. These
money got as a result of exchange of agricultural goods can be use to
purchase some vital goods like capital goods which help in the economic
development of the nation or state. SCOPE
OF THE STUDY This
study covers the problems of agriculture in the economic development of Edo
state and emphasis will be laid on some specific area of production, such as
crops. Like cassava, maize, etc also animal productions like chickens, goat
to mention but a few. |
