dc.description.abstractThe study assessed gender differentials in the accessibility of farm inputs among arable crop farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria. A two-stage sampling technique was used to select two hundred and ten (210), farmers. Descriptive statistics was used to present the data and inferential statistics was used for data analysis. Male respondents have more access to farm inputs such as inorganic fertilizers (99.0%), while the female farmers had more of storage facilities (89.5%). Major constraints affecting access to farm input among the male farmers were inadequate extension contacts, (96.2%) while among the female farmers lack of capital (94.3%), was a major constrain. Access to farm inputs was significantly influenced by household size (0.050), years of education (0.371) and years of farming (0.768) while for female farmers it was age (0.047), household size (0.384), years of education (-0.312) and membership in farmers association (0.008). Female farmers were found to have poor access to farm inputs than their male counterparts. There is need for policy to address improved access to farm inputs for farmers and also extension agencies should disseminate adequate information on channels for farm inputs among both gendersen_US
