The analysis revealed that the average total revenue realized from the sale of okra is N467,502.42 and total cost expended N147,917.6. Furthermore, farmers made a gross profit of N329,767.82 from the sales, the net return N319,584.82 and return on investment was N3.16 which shows okra production is profitable in the study area. The study revealed that farming experience, farm size, fertilizer quantity, extension contact and gender are the socioeconomic characteristics that influenced the profit realized by the okra farmers. The study finally presents the variables limiting more profit in okra production as: High transportation cost, access to credit, inadequate extension visits, incidence of flood, pest and diseases, high cost of fertilizer, high theft of matured produce, high cost of labor, herders attack. The study recommended the need for government to provide inputs such as chemicals (pesticides and herbicides) at subsidized rates to farmers and also aim at solving major problem of vegetable production which includes flood and herds men attack. Also land restrictions on women should be addressed as okra production is female dominated and access to land was recorded as a significant variable to profit in okra production. |
