Background of the Study
Rice farming is a significant agricultural activity in Argungu LGA, with numerous cooperatives dedicated to the cultivation and processing of rice. These cooperatives play an essential role in improving the livelihoods of local farmers, enhancing food security, and contributing to the local economy. However, effective accounting practices are crucial for the sustainability and success of these cooperatives. Accurate financial records help cooperative members track expenses, manage revenues, and make informed decisions about production and investments. Despite their importance, many rice farming cooperatives in Argungu LGA struggle with poor accounting practices, resulting in financial mismanagement, inefficiencies, and difficulty accessing financial resources. This study will explore the accounting practices employed by rice farming cooperatives in Argungu LGA and assess their effectiveness in ensuring financial sustainability.
