Assessment of Agricultural Incubation Model Beneficiaries and Accessibilty in South-South Nigeria: Implication for Sustainable Agricultural Development

South-South Nigeria was chosen for the research as most people were farmers. Multistage sampling procedure was used in obtaining 640 respondents. The data were collected with the help of structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and likert rating scales. The incubatees were mostly youth who were mostly singled while the non-incubatees were elderly and married. The education status of incubatees and non-incubatees was secondary education with low household size. The mean income difference of incubatees and non-incubatees was 432,908 Naira revealing 21.4% increase in income. Cassava, fisheries, oil palm, plantain, rice and poultry were the major focus of the incubatees. Most beneficiaries of the incubation model were youths and LIFE-ND were mostly involved in the incubation model in the area. The financial / business support system ranked 1st was mostly available to incubatees while the least was infrastructural support systems ranked 4th. The incubatees selection criteria were more focus on unemployed youth. The null hypothesis was rejected since there existed a positive statistically significant correlation relationship between the socioeconomic characteristics of the incubatees and income. Hence it is recommended that establishment should be involved in agricultural incubation model since it is source of income and youth employment.

Abstract

South-South Nigeria was chosen for the research as most people were farmers. Multistage sampling procedure was used in obtaining 640 respondents. The data were collected with the help of structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and likert rating scales. The incubatees were mostly youth who were mostly singled while the non-incubatees were elderly and married. The education status of incubatees and non-incubatees was secondary education with low household size. The mean income difference of incubatees and non-incubatees was 432,908 Naira revealing 21.4% increase in income. Cassava, fisheries, oil palm, plantain, rice and poultry were the major focus of the incubatees. Most beneficiaries of the incubation model were youths and LIFE-ND were mostly involved in the incubation model in the area. The financial / business support system ranked 1st was mostly available to incubatees while the least was infrastructural support systems ranked 4th. The incubatees selection criteria were more focus on unemployed youth. The null hypothesis was rejected since there existed a positive statistically significant correlation relationship between the socioeconomic characteristics of the incubatees and income. Hence it is recommended that establishment should be involved in agricultural incubation model since it is source of income and youth employment.
