    Gender Access to Agricultural Production Resources in Oke-Ero LGA, Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida University, Lapai, 2008) Adedayo, Adebisi; Tunde, Afolabi Monisola
    The study focuses on gender access to agricultural production in Oke-Ero Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria. A total of 325 male and 307 female farmers were randomly sampled with structured questionnaire administration. Using descriptive statistics, the study observes that majority of the female farmers had access to farmland but very few had total control over such lands while male farmers own their farmland, which they can use as collateral to obtain loan from the bank. Both male and female farmers do not have enough access to agro-extension services but the latter group is more affected. The paper recommends that in planning for agricultural development, enough production resources should be provided to both gender particularly female farmers to improve agricultural production in Nigeria. Also conditions for obtaining agricultural loan should be reviewed to encourage female farmers.

    Gender Differences in Agricultural Production in a Nigerian Rural Environment
    (Ilorin Journal of Business and Social Sciences, 2009) Adedayo, Adebisi; Tunde, Afolabi Monisola
    This paper examines variations in agricultural production by gender in a rural area of Kwara State, Nigeria. It also identifies some socio-economic characteristics of the respondents. A multistage simple random sampling method was employed to select a total of 632 farmers interviewed through structured questionnaire administration. Results of the study showed that female farmers participated in almost all production activities, particularly planting, fertilizer application, watering, transplanting harvesting, transporting, storing, processing and marketing. On the other hand, male farmers were fully engaged in only land clearing and planting. The paper concludes with the suggestions that both male and female farmers should have equal access to land since landownership determines their participation in agricultural production in Nigeria. Women farmers should also be integrated into policy formulation and implementation in the various agricultural and rural development programmes.
