ABSTRACT

This paper investigated the determinant of youth participation in agricultural training programs using the case of Fadama program. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a total of 977 respondents comprising of 455 participants and 522 non-participants. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study showed that high asset index reduces youths’ likelihood of participation. Also, participation in the program was negatively but significantly influenced by gender and household size but positively by age, years of education, perception of agribusiness, agribusiness ownership and youth’s intentions to start farming. The result of the descriptive showed that majority of the respondents (56%) indicated lack of access to finance as their major barrier to participating in agribusiness and in agribusiness training. Other barriers include lack of mentorship and information. The study therefore recommends the need for strategies to facilitate youth access to credit, mentorship and timely information.

青年参与农业培训计划的决定因素:尼日利亚 Fadama 计划的案例

摘要

本文以 Fadama 项目为例,研究了青年参与农业培训项目的决定因素。使用多阶段抽样技术选择了总共 977 名受访者,其中包括 455 名参与者和 522 名非参与者。使用描述性和推理性统计分析收集的数据。研究表明,高资产指数降低了青少年参与的可能性。此外,参与该计划受到性别和家庭规模的负面但显着影响,但受到年龄、受教育年限、对农业综合企业的看法、农业综合企业所有权和青年开始农业的意愿的积极影响。描述性结果显示,大多数受访者 (56%) 表示无法获得融资是他们参与农业企业和农业企业培训的主要障碍。其他障碍包括缺乏指导和信息。因此,该研究建议需要制定策略来促进青年获得信贷、指导和及时信息。
