“…In the same vein, Premium Times analysis reveals that Nigeria imported 400,000 tons of maize in 2019, as it did in 2018, which is the second-highest volume imported by the country since 2009 (Mojeed, 2020). Similarly, findings of (Adeosun et al, 2019) shows that, as expected, there exists a strong linear relationship (r = -0.466) between local maize production and maize importation, though in opposite direction. This implies that the high level of importation is discouraging local production.…”

The study examined the effect of video mediated extension on stakeholders’ propensity to participate in maize-grain-poultry-feed agribusiness cluster (ABC) in Oyo state, Nigeria. A total of 111 prospective maize-grain-to-poultry-feed actors were sampled using a multistage sampling procedure. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA (at ?0.05). Most (78.4%) were not aware of ABC before the video mediated extension. After the video intervention, majority (84%) rated ABC as highly beneficial, with enhancement of productivity (192.8) as the most rated. Inadequate finance (182.9) and poor record/inventory (180.2) were regarded as the most severe constraints perceived to affect ABC formation and sustainability. Further result post video-mediated intervention reveals that majority of the stakeholders (82.9%) became knowledgeable about ABC while 96.4% were rated highly willing to involve in ABC. Significant difference existed in the knowledge of ABC before (mean = 4.68) and after (mean = 83.39) the VME (p = 0.000). There was no significant difference in the willingness to participate in ABC across the different actors (p = 0.221). The study concludes that video mediated extension was effective as it engendered high propensity and practicality of agribusiness cluster for the poultry feed value chain among key actors.

PurposeThis study aims to focus on assessing the status of agribusiness enterprises in Nigeria. The specific goals were to ascertain the level of performance of different categories of agribusiness enterprises, and determine the institutional and firm-level characteristics that influence agribusiness performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on secondary data. These data were sourced from the World Bank business enterprise survey. The World Bank Enterprise survey employed a purposive sampling technique to select major staple agribusiness categories in Nigeria. The categories selected were those included in the World Bank's categorization of agribusiness enterprises. These categories include tobacco, food, textiles, leather, garments, paper industries and wood. The individual firms included in the survey were randomly selected from the selected agribusiness categories. In total, 721 agribusiness firms were selected. Data were analyzed with multiple linear regression at a 5% probability level.FindingsThe result of the analysis showed that small-scale agribusiness enterprises have the best performance based on an average of the five performance indicators considered in this study. The determinants of agribusiness performance showed that the credit constraint, size of enterprise, bureaucracy and corruption negatively and significantly affected the performance of agribusiness enterprises in the country, while the gender and educational status of the top manager were positively significant.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings imply that small agribusinesses are instrumental in the development of the agribusiness sector and by extension the economy of the nation.Originality/valueThis study enhances the understanding of how best to deliver improved system-level performance policy and wealth creation, especially within the agribusiness subsector.
