Background of the Study
In Nigeria, poultry farming is a significant contributor to the agricultural sector, providing employment and food security. However, many poultry farmers in Kwara State face challenges such as fluctuating feed prices, disease outbreaks, and limited access to finance. Government intervention through policies and programs aimed at supporting the agricultural sector has been vital in promoting the sustainability of poultry farming businesses (Ogunlela, 2023). These interventions often include financial subsidies, training programs, and infrastructure development.
Despite these efforts, many poultry farmers still struggle to maintain sustainable operations. The effectiveness of government intervention in enhancing business sustainability remains unclear, especially considering the unique challenges faced by poultry farmers in different regions. This study seeks to evaluate the role of government intervention in ensuring the sustainability of poultry farmers in Kwara State.
Statement of the Problem
Although government interventions are designed to support poultry farmers, many farmers in Kwara State continue to face difficulties in maintaining profitable and sustainable businesses. This study seeks to identify the specific government interventions that have been most effective in supporting poultry farmers and to understand the factors that limit the success of these interventions.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the effectiveness of government interventions in promoting business sustainability among poultry farmers in Kwara State.
- To identify the challenges poultry farmers face in benefiting from government interventions.
- To recommend strategies for improving government support to enhance the sustainability of poultry farms in Kwara State.

- What challenges do poultry farmers in Kwara State face in accessing government support programs?
- How can government interventions be improved to better support the sustainability of poultry farmers in Kwara State?
Research Hypotheses
