SOLD BY: HISTORY OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY OF ABOH-MBAISE WOMEN FROM 1960 – 2013
ABSTRACT
This project entitled “The History of Agricultural Development in Nigeria” examines the role of women in agricultural development, using Aboh-Mbaise as a case study. Agriculture is an engine of growth and poverty reduction. But the sector is under performing in many states of Nigeria because women, who are often a crucial resource in agriculture and the rural economy, face constraints that reduce their productivity. Women constitute 60 to 80 percent of labour force in the agricultural activities of Nigeria. It is ironical that their contributions to agricultural and rural development are seldom noticed. This study considered Aboh Mbaise women in agriculture from 1960 to 2013 period. It also highlights the constraints women face in their participation in agriculture and the role of government policies and institution in eradicating the constraints. The research was carried out using the two major sources of research primary and secondary sources.
