ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF IRRIGATED TOMATO PRODUCTION USING PUMP AND SHADOOF IRRIGATION TECHNIQUES UNDER FADAMA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN BAGWAI AREA OF KANO STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study was designed to study the economic analysis of tomato production under Fadama Development Project using pump and shadoof method of irrigation in Bagwai area of Kano state. The objectives of this study are; to identify and describe the most important resources used by the farmers in tomato production; estimate the production function in order to determine the economic efficiency of different resources used in tomato production, determine the cost and returns associated with tomato production; identify the constraints to increase in tomato production under the project and make recommendations that could enhance increased tomato production by farmers in the areas. The data necessary for the analysis were obtained through a survey of 70 farmers, comparing farmers using pump and those using shado of methods of irrigation for the cultivation of tomato. The analytical tools employed include, simple descriptive statistics, Cobb- Douglas (power) production function models and the farm budget. The Cobb-Douglas production function analysis revealed that fertilizer was under-utilized. The marginal productivity of labour was positive but lower than the average acquisition cost for both techniques of irrigation. The results tend to indicate an improvement in labour productivity over the excessive use of labour in traditional agriculture. The marginal value product of resources used by farmers are statistically different with the two methods of irrigation. Both techniques of production exhibited increasing return to scale, more inputs can be added to production to increase crop output. The farm budget analysis revealed that all farmers produced at a profit and it is more profitable to grow tomato using pump method of irrigation. There was however, a very high variability in yield, prices, costs and returns among the respondents. The test of significance of net farm income confirmed that there is a significant difference in the mean net farm income of farmers in favour of farmers using pump. The major problems identified by farmers includes nonavailability, high costs and delays in supply of farm inputs, inadequate supply of water, pump maintenance, lack of tractors, incidence of pest and diseases. On the basis of the findings, it has been realized that farmers are willing to use information and modern techniques made available to them to maximize their production but institutional constraints have been a bottleneck. Therefore, farm inputs should be made available to farmers at the right time and right quantities
