Background of the Study
Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of Bali Local Government Area (LGA) in Taraba State, providing livelihoods for a majority of the population. The agricultural markets in the region are influenced by various geopolitical factors, such as political alliances, inter-state relations, and regional trade policies. The formation of geopolitical alliances, particularly in cross-border agricultural trade, has significant implications for the structure and competitiveness of agricultural markets in Bali. This study will explore the role of these geopolitical alliances in shaping agricultural market dynamics, price stability, and access to resources for farmers in Bali LGA.
