The present study empirically determined the prospects of the rice value chain of paddy processors in Jigawa State of Nigeria. Despite the role of small-scale paddy rice processors as the main engine of growth of upstream rice value chain, and the growth and development of the rural economy in the study area, literature is undaunted with paucity of empirical information on the prospects of rice processing value chain in the study area. The study utilised cross-sectional data elicited through a well-structured questionnaire from a total of 200 processors (133 parboilers and 67 millers) selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. An easy cost-route approach was used for data collection during the 2022 processing period and the collected data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the empirical evidence, it is established that the rice processing potential has not been fully exploited in the study areas. In addition, it is evident that the rice processing enterprise is not only viable and profitable; it features good prospects in the supply value chain of rice in the study areas. However, to maintain the prospects in the supply value chain, the target actors must adopt a defensive mechanism, as inferred by the SPACE matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study explores the influence of gender discrimination on the agricultural economic efficiency gap between women and men farmers in Nigeria's Kano State, as part of the USAID MARKETS II initiative. A structured questionnaire supported by an interview schedule was utilized to extract cross-sectional data from 189 participants selected by a multi-stage sample technique using a simple cost-route strategy. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to the acquired data. Gender disparity has both an effect and an impact on the farm economic efficiency of women farmers, putting them at a disadvantage compared to their male counterparts, according to scientific research. Besides, the extension gap which affected the farm economic efficiency of the women farmers compared to the men is due to gender stereotype. Further, in isolating the impact of gender differential, it was observed that gaps of technical and cost efficiencies between the two genders owe majorly to gender discrimination. In addition, both gender discrimination and the endowment factor had an equal contribution to the yield gap between the two groups. However, the profit efficiency gap between the genders is due majorly to endowment effect. In general, it can be concluded that gender discrimination, i.e. gender inequality and gender stereotype, has slowed the active engagement of women beneficiaries in the program, hence impeding the continuation of their farm businesses. As a result, in order for the program to be sustainable, it should include a gender budget in its strategy, allowing women to break the curse of gender inequality, which has limited access to and control over productive resources.

This research determined price volatility spillovers among major wheat markets in the world using time series data (1966-2018) of six major wheat producing countries in the world. The data were sourced from FAO and UNCTAD databanks and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression, unit root test and GARCH models. The findings showed that there is low and high persistence in the wheat prices of Canada and USA; and, Australia and India, respectively. Thus, it was established that the prices in the former markets were characterized by short memory; the effect of shock is temporary as the prices return to the attractor level within a short period. However, bad news on the prices of the latter markets has pronounced effect and takes a longer period for the price series to normalize. On the other hand, French and Chinese market price series exhibited an explosive pattern; the price series have infinite memory and the effect of innovation is permanent as price series will not normalize. Therefore, it can be concluded that the future trade of wheat is useful in the market given the persistence behavior of the prices as their price trends are tailored towards a rational expectation rather than a naïve expectation. However, for the market prices that are explosive, the market participants should focus on rational market expectation as a trade barometer.

The study determined the costs of morbidity and farmers' willingness to pay for health insurance in the Jigawa State of Nigeria using a cross-sectional data collected from 284 farmers through a multi-stage sampling technique. Using an easy-route cost approach, a well-structured questionnaire coupled with interview schedule was used for data collection. Besides, the collected data was then analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Empirically, the majority of farmers utilised an accumulation strategy for livelihood sustenance, alongside enterprise diversification -- which acted as a catalyst in increasing their stocks and consumption outcomes, thus smoothing their income and consumption. However, financial and, at worst, physical livelihood capitals posed challenges that affected farmers' livelihood assets in the study area. Furthermore, malaria emerged as the major health issue affecting livelihoods; consequently, slightly over half of the sampled population agreed to the notion of a social health insurance scheme for a healthy livelihood. However, this inclination was largely influenced by the overlooked or nearly neglected social learning aspect of extension service delivery. Therefore, as a method to reduce public capital expenditure on healthcare for livelihoods in the study area, the study recommends that policymakers expand the healthcare scheme to include the farming community, going beyond formal organisations, thereby enhancing farm family livelihoods specifically and overall economic growth and development in general. Nonetheless, enhance institutional factors, alongside social extension, financial and infrastructural facilities are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Limitation of research information on job satisfaction and enterprise success-remunerative business going concern of rice value chain actors especially the processors has been a challenge to the sustainability of the supportive policy driven rice value chain in the study area. Therefore, this necessitates research so as to identify the possible pitfalls alongside proffer viable scientific remedies that will enhance the sustainability of the entire rice value chain in the study area. Using a cross-sectional data obtained from a total of 133 and 67 par-boilers and millers respectively, through a well-structured questionnaire and interview schedule, the job satisfaction and agripreneurial success of micro-finance benefitted rice processors in Nigeria’s Jigawa state were investigated. Unlike the millers, it was established that majority of the par-boilers were not satisfied with the job and it owes majorly to poor job security and disincentive attitude of the supportive institutions. However, across the study target groups, despite the few hitches, majority of the enterprises were found to be successful and mutually owes to remunerative turnover ratio of the enterprise among others. Nonetheless, vulnerable household’s composition which exacerbates the pressure on the limited resources with negative consequence on the income capital base affected job satisfaction and agripreneurial success of the processors. Therefore, the study advises the policymakers to strength the macro-economic policies so as to enhance the sustainability of the entire rice value chain in the study area. Also, concerned stakeholders involved in policymaking need to intensify their campaign on the importance of sustainable livelihood by encouraging most of the actors to maintain a fair household size., La escasa investigación sobre la satisfacción laboral y el éxito agroempresarial en la rentabilidad de los actores de la cadena de valor del arroz, especialmente de los procesadores, ha sido un reto para la sostenibilidad de la cadena de valor del arroz, impulsada por políticas de apoyo en la zona de estudio. Por lo tanto, es necesaria una investigación que identifique las posibles dificultades, para ofrecer soluciones científicas viables que mejoren la sostenibilidad de toda la cadena de valor del arroz en la zona estudiada. Utilizando datos transversales obtenidos de un total de 133 trabajadores que escaldan el arroz y 67 piladores, mediante un cuestionario estructurado y un programa de entrevistas, se investigó la satisfacción laboral y el éxito agroempresarial de los procesadores de arroz beneficiados por la microfinanciación en el estado nigeriano de Jigawa. A diferencia de los piladores, se comprobó que la mayoría de los trabajadores que escaldan el arroz no estaban satisfechos con su trabajo, debido sobre todo a la escasa seguridad laboral y a la actitud desincentivadora de las instituciones de apoyo. Sin embargo, en todos los grupos destinatarios del estudio, a pesar de algunos problemas, la mayoría de las empresas tuvieron éxito, lo que se debe, entre otras cosas, al índice de retorno de inversión de la empresa. No obstante, la composición vulnerable de los hogares, que agrava la presión sobre los limitados recursos con consecuencias negativas sobre la base del capital de ingresos, afectó la satisfacción laboral y al éxito agroempresarial de los procesadores de arroz. Por tanto, el presente estudio aconseja reforzar las políticas macroeconómicas para mejorar la sostenibilidad de toda la cadena de valor del arroz en la zona estudiada. Asimismo, las partes interesadas que intervienen en la formulación de políticas deben intensificar su campaña sobre la importancia de la sostenibilidad de los medios de vida, animando a la mayoría de los agentes a mantener un

It is no longer a chasm that human existence is being threatened by induced-weather vagaries. Given the dynamic nature of the weather vagaries, if tacit actions are not taken on continuum basis, soonest, human race will go into extinction because of the steep devastating push effect of climate change. It is in lieu of the foregoing, that the researchers conceptualized a study that assessed rural households' food insecurity resilience capacity in Nigeria's Bauchi state using a resilience index measurement analysis (RIMA II), a novel methodological approach developed by FAO for studying such scenario, as literature review showed no evidence of its application in the study area. Adopting a multi-stage random sampling technique, a total of 322 households were randomly sampled from a sampling frame obtained by a reconnaissance survey. Using a well-structured questionnaire complemented with interview schedule, rural households' survey data were collected in the year 2022. Besides, the collected data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Empirically, it was established that the study area is challenged with food insecurity that owes majorly to poor food utilization and stability. Besides, poor food insecurity resilience capacity majorly due to vulnerable adaptive capacity was unmasked as the push effect behind food insecurity bane in the study area. However, evidence showed that food insecurity resilience capacity has a lasting effect on general well-being of rural households while households' hunger resilience capacity has a transitory effect as it can only contain food crises on the short-term basis. Nevertheless, income and consumption smoothening were the commonest short-term food coping strategies adopted in the study area. To achieve the sustainable development goals of zero hunger by 2030, it becomes imperative on policymakers to sensitize rural households on the need to adopt safe and eco-friendly improved indigenous food technologies so as to address the poor states of food utilization and stability affecting food security of the study area.

- Abstract
A cross sectional data collected through a structured questionnaire coupled with an interview schedule from 360 rice farmers selected via multi-stage sampling technique was used to determine the labour efficiency of rice farmers in Nigeria’s North-Central region. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the 2020 cropping season data. The empirical evidences showed a farming population that is gender bias due to stereotypes, that affected women access to and control over productive resources. Besides, economic-productive people that explored pecuniary advantages in order to achieve economies of scale engaged in cultivation of thinly uneconomic holdings. The poor economic status of the farm families made most of the farmers to rely on family labour for farm operations, thus keeping most of their children and young ones out of school. Furthermore, most of the farmers were fairly efficient in the use of labour with little technical support required to enable them achieve optimum labour efficiency level (frontier point). However, the empirical evidences showed competition for labour demand between farm and off-farm activities and conservative and complacency attitudes due to longevity in the enterprise to be the factors that affected labour efficiency. Therefore, the study calls for gender mainstreaming in agricultural budget to overcome women’s challenge on productive resources; incentivized the enterprise viz., credit provision; adoption of bottom-to-top approach in research and practical demonstration approach in transfer of innovative rice technologies., Para determinar la eficiencia de la mano de obra de los arroceros de la región Centro-Norte de Nigeria se utilizaron datos transversales recogidos mediante un cuestionario estructurado y un programa de entrevistas a 360 arroceros, quienes fueron seleccionados mediante un muestreo por conglomerados multietápico. Los datos obtenidos de la época de cultivo 2020 fueron analizados mediante estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales. Las evidencias empíricas mostraron una población agrícola sesgada por el estereotipo de género, que afectó al acceso y control de los recursos productivos por parte de las mujeres. También, se encontró que los agentes económicamente productivos que exploraban las ventajas financieras para alcanzar economías de escala se dedicaban a cultivar explotaciones poco rentables. La mala situación económica de las familias agricultoras hizo que la mayoría de los agricultores dependieran de la mano de obra familiar para las operaciones agrícolas, manteniendo así a la mayoría de sus niños y jóvenes fuera del sistema educativo. Además, la mayoría de los agricultores eran bastante eficientes en el uso de la mano de obra, y apenas necesitaban apoyo técnico para poder alcanzar un nivel óptimo de eficiencia laboral (punto límite o frontera). Sin embargo, las pruebas empíricas mostraron que los factores que afectaban a la eficiencia de la mano de obra eran la competencia por la demanda de mano de obra entre las actividades agrícolas y las no agrícolas y las actitudes conservadoras y de complacencia a causa de la longevidad en la empresa. Por tanto, el estudio aboga por la integración de la perspectiva de género en el presupuesto agrícola para superar el desafío existente para las mujeres en cuanto a los recursos productivos; por el estímulo a las empresas mediante la concesión de créditos; y, por la adopción de un enfoque de abajo hacia arriba en la investigación y de un enfoque de demostración práctica en la transferencia de tecnologías innovadoras del arroz.
