“…Access to formal and informal credit facilities have a positive and significant impact on agricultural production (Akudugu, 2016;Nan, Gao, & Zhou, 2019). Insufficient finance becomes a key obstacle to rice productivity Ojochenemi, Gabriel, and Ogwuche (2017), and a significant setback to modern technology adoption (Hena, Jingdong, Zhang, Memon, & Khalil, 2019). Besides, a study by Hena et al 2019and Nonvide, Sarpong, Kwadzo, Anim-Somuah, and Gero (2017) shows access to adequate credit facility increases the productivity of farmers, eases proper utilization of inputs, permits new technology adoption, and provides an opportunity for enhancing technical skills.…”

Despite having vast farmland suitable for paddy rice farming, local production in the country is weak, especially in Kano where the state has the most abundant farmland put to rice farming and the most extensive rice farmers in the 36 states of the country. As such, over 4mm/t of milled paddy rice has to be imported annually into Nigeria to supplement home production. The economy cannot sustain rice import because it depends on crude oil revenue; thus, leading to scarcity of rice at an exorbitant price. The study was conducted in the 2018 cropping season for rainfed and irrigated paddy rice, to identify the impact of rural infrastructure on the productivity of rice farmers in Kano State, Nigeria. There are seven local governments with 17 rice clusters in the state that are cultivating rice. A random sample of 768 rice farmers was selected in 9 rice clusters from the population of 135,895 rice farmers using multistage and purposive sampling. Using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 22, data screening and preliminary analysis was conducted, aimed at satisfying the assumptions of the multivariate analysis. Thus, missing data analysis was performed to identify univariate outliers and multivariate outliers. Likewise, normality skewness and kurtosis, as well as multicollinearity issues, were checked. The preliminary analysis indicates that the data fulfil the conditions of multivariate analysis, thus, suitable for inferences.

Increasing pressure from stakeholders that demands for a holistic corporate report both in terms of financial and non-financial information, has resulted in a move towards a more integrated approach in corporate reporting. The aim of this study is to examine the presence of the elements of integrated reporting and the drivers for the adoption of such reports. The influence of internal and external pressure from the perspective of agency and stakeholder theories forms the focus of this study. Content analyses of the annual reports of the top 100 companies in Malaysia for the year 2014 are examined. The results show positive relationships for the independent variables mission and vision, and risk and opportunities with the presence of the elements of integrated reporting in the annual reports. The positive relationships reveal that companies that align key strategies with the mission and vision statement and take measures to address risk and opportunities of the organization, will be more proactive in implementing integrated reporting. The findings provide empirical evidence on the progress of integrated reporting in a developing country where research to examine the effects of specific determinants on the likelihood of companies in a developing country providing integrated reports is almost non-existent.
