Abstract

This study analyzed the efficiency of groundnut farmer’s in the adoption of IAR developed groundnut varieties for poverty alleviation in north western Nigeria.

Primary data were obtained through the use of well-structured questionnaires from a sample size of 112 comprising of 56 adopters and 56 non-adopters of IAR groundnut varieties.

The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, logit regression, and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke’s (FGT) Weighted Poverty Index.

That the average age of adopters was approximately 47 years. The estimated coefficients of parameters of the production function such as seed and agrochemical were significant and had effect on efficiency.

The mean technical efficiency index for adopters was 0.62 with a mean allocative efficiency index of 0.96 and mean economic efficiency index of 0.59.

Introduction

Groundnut (Arachishypogaea) is ranked the 6th most important oil seed crop in the world (Mukhtar, 2009). Groundnut is grown on 26.4 million hectares worldwide, with a total production of 37.1 million metric tonnes and an average productivity of 1.4 metric tonnes /ha.

Developing countries constitute 97% of the global area and 94% of the global production of this crop (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2011).

The production of groundnut is concentrated in Asia and Africa, where mostly smallholder farmers under rain-fed conditions with limited inputs grow the crop.

Nigeria was the third largest producer of groundnut in the world with a production of 2,962,760 tonnes. China and India produced16,114,231 and 6,933,000, respectively in 2011.
