“…The benefit-cost ratio is used in different analyses to compare profitability between enterprises or groups [67]. For this study, the result indicated ratios of 1.85 and 1.67 for the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, respectively, consistent with the conclusion of [39,68] in their analysis of rice profitability in Ebonyi state, Nigeria.…”

In the face of declining water resources and low agricultural water productivity, it is vital to increase agricultural production efficiency and efficiency of water usage. The efficacy of irrigating rice fields in Nigeria is evaluated here using a stochastic frontier analysis. This is a parametric frontier that is assumed to have half-normal distribution, allowing the model to be separated from normal errors in a composite error model. Samples of 382 surveys were used in the study; out of the total number, 361 surveys were retrieved and used for the analysis. The analytical tools used in the study are: gross margin, water productivity analysis, and stochastic frontier approach. The results indicate an average yield of 4.69 and 4.94 tons/hectare, and net farm income of $415 and $364 for the farmers using canal irrigation and farmers using tube wells, respectively. The results also showed physical and economic water productivity of 0.51 kg/m3 and $0.11/m3 for canal water users, and 0.568 kg/m3 and $0.10/m3 for tube well users. The canal water users had a mean irrigation water use efficiency of 0.76, compared to 0.70 for the tube well users. The study recommends that effective extension services and their coverage be enhanced to provide adequate training to rice farmers on water use efficiency and the transfer of innovations and farming technologies to farmers.

“…The level of paddy field farming revenue in the study area is substantially higher than in other studies, such as Karmini [9], Arifin et al [10], and Arifin et al [11] but slightly lower than the findings of Wardana et al [12] with a revenue of Rp. 9.143.061 per growing season, and Nwahia [13] with an revenue level of Rp. 10.034.000 per growing season.…”

Factors affecting the income of paddy field farm management in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province

2023

The productivity of paddy field farming during the last five years has decreased so that it has an impact on farmers' revenue. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of income and feasibility of paddy field farming and the factors that affect the income of paddy field farming. The research was conducted in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, for eight calendar months. Research data is sourced from primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured interviews using instruments or questionnaires to all respondents. Respondents or farmer units of analysis were taken by random sampling with 225 respondents. The research data were analyzed by descriptive and statistical tests using the Multiple Regression Test tool. The results showed that the average income of paddy field farming in the study area was Rp. 8.646.552,00 per growing season with an R/C ratio > 1 (3.9). Farmers' income is influenced by land area and the number of workers. In contrast, the age of farmers, number of family members, farming experience, and capital do not show a significant effect.

“…Profitability analysis by Nwahia [2020] found that rice farmers earned an average net farm income of $900.10/ha (N323,135.90/ha with a return on investment of 2.9% in South East Ebonyi State of Nigeria [32]. Usman [2020] reported that the net farm income for mechanized and nonmechanized maize farmers' was N310,100.00/ha and N127,950.00/ha respectively n Kaduna State, Nigeria [47].…”

The study examined the profitability of smallholder rice farmer's under urea deep placement innovation and conventional fertilizer application practice in north central Nigeria. The study was carried out in six (6) LGA's of Wushishi, Shiroro and Katcha in Niger State and Gwer East, Okpokwu and Kwande in Benue State respectively of North Central Nigeria. The study was guided by two objectives which were analyzed using descriptive statistics and standard farm management accounting models. Systematic, multistage and purposive sampling techniques were adopted to select 398 rice farmers from the study area consisting of 197 farmers using the urea deep placement innovation (UDP farmers) and 201 farmers practicing the conventional broadcast of urea fertilizers (Non-UDP farmers) for rice production. The structured questionnaire used to source the primary data for the study was administered by trained field extension agents to the respondent farmers using personal interview. However, assistance was given to farmers who were unable to read or undertstand the contents of the questionnaire. Findings from the study revealed that majority (78%) of the farmers were male; with mean age of 42years for UDP farmers and 41years for Non-UDP farmers. The mean farm size cultivated by the farmers' was 1.2ha (UDP farmers) and 1.3ha (Non-UDP farmers) in Benue State, while in Niger State it was 3.6ha (UDP farmers) and 2.3ha (Non-UDP farmers) respectively. UDP farmers harvested an average output (paddy) of 4.23Mt/ha (3.2Mt/ha milled equivalent) as against 2.76Mt/ha (2.1Mt/ha milled equivalent) obtained by Non-UDP farmers. The Net Farm Income (NFI) and profitability ratio analysis revealed that UDP farmers earned a mean net farm income of N276, 986.68 as against the N117, 354.27 earned by Non-UDP farmers in Niger State; while in Benue State the mean NFI was estimated as N312, 451.84 for UDP farmers as against the N137, 326.64 earned by Non-UDP farmer respectively. The profitability ratio analysis revealed a return on investment (ROI) of 0.92 (92%) for UDP farmers in both states; while it was 0.46 (46%) and 0.48 (48%) for Non-UDP farmers in Niger and Benue State respectively. These results implies that UDP farmers had a higher return of (0.44) 44% for each invested naira (N) over their Non-UDP counterpart from both states. The key policy statement and recommendation from the study is that UDP technology should be spread widely among Nigerian rice farmers to enhance the countrys' capacity to increase output and attain self sufficiency in rice production. To achieve this, there is need to create more awareness of the urea deep placement technology and address the challenges militating against its adaption among rice producers in the area and country at large.
