Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economy, particularly in rural areas like Agaie LGA, Niger State, where farming is the primary livelihood for many. However, the acceptance of new agricultural products and technologies has often been slow, primarily due to a lack of information and traditional farming practices. Advertising has been recognized as an essential tool for promoting new agricultural products and technologies, facilitating their acceptance among farmers. According to Ojo et al. (2023), advertising campaigns that focus on the benefits of new agricultural products, such as improved seed varieties, fertilizers, and farming equipment, can significantly influence farmers’ willingness to adopt these innovations. This study examines the effectiveness of advertising in driving the acceptance of new agricultural products in Agaie LGA, exploring how advertising campaigns contribute to farmers’ decisions to adopt new agricultural technologies.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of new agricultural products, farmers in Agaie LGA have been hesitant to embrace them. The slow adoption of these innovations could be attributed to insufficient information, lack of trust, or resistance to change.

This study aims to assess how advertising influences the acceptance of new agricultural products in Agaie LGA and whether advertising campaigns can enhance farmers' willingness to adopt these innovations.
