“…Table 2 aslo indicated that majority 73.7% of rice producers in the study area had accessed to credit Access to credit is expected to grant rice producers access to inputs and also enable them to pay the percentage required of them before they can participate in Integrated Agricultural Development Project. This finding agreed with Baba et al (2020) who reported that most of rural farmers in Kogi State, Nigeria accessed credit.…”

This study was carried out in five communities of Lere LGA of Kaduna State, Nigeria which were; Abadawa, Garu Mariri, Kayarda, Kudaru and Dan Alhaji as participation communities in Integrated Agricultural Development Project. Multi-stage random sampling was used to choose 212 respondents. Face-to-face interviews with rice producers generated primary data, which was obtained using structured questionnaire. The socio-economic profile of the sampled respondents was determined using descriptive methods. The data obtained from objective i and iii was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as (frequency distribution, percentage mean) objective ii was achieved using Ordered Probit Model. The objective iv was achieved using the Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (W). The outcome of the research appeared that most of the respondents were of active working group and the average age of the sample respondents was approximately 46 years while the average family size was 10.

“…The small-scale producer’s market revealed features of unsatisfactory markets if the structural analysis indicated that the seller’s concentration was high with high income difference. This was the result from the differences in their access to ownership and control of physical marketing facilities, funds’ availability, market structure and conducts (Taru, Jonathan, & Lawal, 2010). On the other hand, since the Lake Victoria fishery market is dominated by middlemen (buyers) while considering their relationship with fishermen, a decrease in input prices is expected not to be transmitted to the final fish prices offered by middlemen to the fishermen (Meyer & Cramon-Taubadel, 2004).…”

Determination of fish landing price is important, as the same contributes to the structure, conduct and performance of the fish market in Lake Victoria. Determination of relevant landing price is a gap to console between fishermen, agents (middlemen), processors and the government. The main objective of this study was therefore to examine fish price determination. Specifically, to examine the methods for fish price determination and analyse factors that affect fish landing price in Lake Victoria, a cross-sectional design was employed, and 300 respondents were randomly selected from two district councils, namely, Sengerema and Buchosa. Both qualitative and quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. Findings show that landing price is determined through formal negotiation with processors, consultation with other traders, informal negotiation with buyers and Beach Management Unit (BMU). The study concluded that these are the common methods used to determine landing prices. Also, distance from fishing to onshore landing centres, market information channels, age and experiences of the fishermen are the factors significantly found affecting landing price. It is recommended that the mechanism for setting up fishery price, fish market structure, fishery information and the formation of fishery regulatory body needs fishery policy and sector reforms that mark the determination of fish landing price.
