Background of the Study
Agricultural cooperatives in Nigeria play a vital role in improving the livelihoods of farmers by providing support services such as input supply, marketing, and financial assistance. Managerial accounting tools, such as cost analysis, budgeting, and financial forecasting, can help these cooperatives manage their finances better and improve decision-making. This study will evaluate the use of these tools in agricultural cooperatives in Taraba and Benue States.
