dc.description.abstractThis study examined marketing of soyabean in Kwara State, Nigeria through marginal analysis and farmers’ share of the consumers expenditure that went to the marketing system in 2011. Primary data obtained through a combination of purposive and random sampling techniques from 45 wholesalers and 75 retailers were used for the study. Structured interview schedule was used in cross-sectional data collection from the traders. The marketing margin at the wholesale and retail levels were N5,127 and N2,425 per metric tonne respectively. The farmers’ share indicate that 15.55% and 8.60% of the consumers expenditure on soyabean went to the participants in the marketing system respectively, implying a low market performance. Therefore, there should be provision of market facilities and unhindered dissemination of market intelligence and information among the traders to improve market performance by the traders. The introduction of extension education programmes for the marketing intermediaries will also improve their technical knowledge and skills to make the marketing system become responsive to consumers’ demand.en_US
