“…The negative coefficient of 1.20 shows that one percent increase in expenditure on agriculture and allied activities leads to over 1.2 percent decrease in agriculture output and this is in line with the study by [10][11][12] and contradicts the study by [6][7][8]. The negative relationship is due to the fact that public expenditure through agriculture and allied activities comprise of other expenditure like Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development, Fisheries, Forestry and Wild Life (in addition to expenditure through Crop Husbandry, Soil and Water Conservation, Agricultural Research and Education) which do not contribute to the increase of agricultural GSDP directly.…”

“…A number of studies reveal that there is a positive relationship between public expenditure and agriculture output [6][7][8]. On the other hand, some studies show a negative relationship between public expenditure and agriculture output [9][10][11][12]. Public investment in R & D is observed to be a superior performer in enhancing agricultural results and decreasing poverty or destitution.…”

An attempt is made in this paper to examine the short and long run relationship between government expenditure on agriculture and its allied sector and agricultural output of Meghalaya. The study is based on a time series data of 30 years from 1984-85 to 2013-14. During this period, the state economy has experienced both upswing and downswing in its agricultural sector. Government expenditure in different sectors including agriculture and its allied activities, education, transport etc is expected to promote agricultural production. Here ARDL approach to co integration and an error correction representation of the ARDL model have been used due to certain advantages. The result of the Bounds test indicates the presence of a long-run co integrating relationship between the variables in the study. The results reveal that in the long run, the effect of public expenditure through agriculture and allied activities, on agricultural output is significantly negative, while expenditures on education and transport on agricultural output are significantly positive that is in line with several earlier studies. Public expenditure in healthcare however does not significantly affect agricultural output. The findings reveal that judicious use of government spending have significant potential to accelerate agricultural development and improve its efficiency.

“…Government expenditure on agriculture contrast dramatically with the sectors importance in the Nigerian economy and the policy emphasis on diversifying away from oil (Okezie, Nwosu, & Njoku, 2013). Budgetary allocation to agriculture in Nigeria remains below the 10% suggested by the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) (Ani, Biam, & Kantiok., 2015;). According to Olomola, Tewodaji, Olofinbiyi, Nwoke, et al, (2014), spending on agriculture as a share of total federal spending averaged 4.6% between 2008 and 2012 has been trending downward precipitously.…”

The study examined trends in development activities of the Anambra State Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development between 1991 and 2013. The study identified the trends in policy and programme initiation, staff recruitment and development, and funding, in the ministry. It employed secondary data through records, documents and annual reports. Results show variation in the percentages of programme initiated and implemented within each year between 1991 and 2013. The ministry did not participate in formulating policies in 46% of the programmes implemented in the state. However, 46% of all the programmes initiated had been concluded, while 54% of all the programmes initiated in the state are still active. The results showed that a total of 403 staff were recruited within the period into the various departments, with the highest number of recruitment (252) occurring between 1991-and 1995 and the least (22) took place from 2006 to 2010. The majority (91) of staff recruited had the ordinary national diploma (OND) and only 30 and 3 persons had the bachelor of science and doctor of philosophy, respectively. The trend in the funding pattern dwindled over time. Out of the five listed human capacity building programmes, staff trainings were organised only between 1991-1995 and 1996-2000). There is need for a change in government commitment to agriculture in the area of funding, human resource and policy as these are key drivers of development. Government should increase the proportion of manpower and create adequate opportunity for training and development of staff of the ministry. Keywords: Policy and programmes of the ministry of agriculture, funding of ministry of agriculture, staff recruitment and capacity building.

“…This is clear evidence that FDI crowd-in government spending into agriculture without comparing agriculture production coming from the simultaneous change of both foreign direct investment and domestic capital flow as intended by this study. Alabi and Abu (2020) in a Nigeria based study analysed the impact of agricultural public expenditure on agricultural productivity in Nigeria between 1981 and 2014. The study used the Error Correction Model (ECM) on a key dataset comprising of agricultural productivity, agricultural public expenditure (capital and recurrent), investment, and labour to carry out its empirical analysis.…”

The rationale of this paper was to investigate the response of agriculture production to the simultaneous shock of foreign direct investment and public agricultural spending in South Africa during 1991-2019. Data were collected from secondary sources and analyzed using Monte Carlo simulation. Results revealed that agriculture production is maximized at 1,73% if Foreign direct investment inflows, agricultural credit, and the number of employees increase by 10% while public spending is decreased by 10%. Hence, it is recommended that policymakers should combine FDI inflows in agriculture, and agricultural credit in a complementary manner, with emphasis to attract more extensive farm workers to ensure the sustainability of production in the agriculture sector in South Africa. This paper contributes to enhance agriculture sector by using the best combination of input in agriculture in order to maximize production.
