ABSTRACT

The study focused on poverty alleviation among plantain and banana farmers in Ovia South North East Local Government Area of Edo State. The study had five specific objectives which aimed at determining the extent of plantain and banana farmers’ awareness of (EADP) Programme role toward poverty alleviation among plantain and banana farmers, the constraints of ADP programmes on poverty alleviation. It aimed at identifying appropriate measures implored and the effective strategies to improve accessibility of the programme to Youth to achieve poverty alleviation. Five research questions were answered and five null hypotheses were also tested. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and a self-designed four-point rating scale questionnaire was used to collect data. The population of the study was 1,811,612 consisting of both male and female plantain and banana farmers in Edo state. A sample of six hundred (600) respondents was randomly selected for the study. Six hundred copies of questionnaire were distributed but 550 were retrieved. Data collected were analyzed using statistical tools. Percentage scores were used to analyze the demographic variables of the respondents, while research questions were answered using mean scores. Any item with mean score of 2.50 or above was accepted, otherwise rejected. Also the five null hypotheses were tested using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) at alpha, 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that all the five null hypotheses were rejected .The finding of the study revealed that, Agricultural Development Project had not played any significant role in poverty alleviation among plantain and banana farmers in Edo state. It was concluded that most of the plantain and banana farmers were not aware of the existence of the Edo state Agricultural Development programme. There were a number of constraints preventing plantain and banana farmers’ access to ESADP Programme lack of education among majority of the plantain and banana farmers had a negative effect on the awareness of the ESADP Programmes. In order to ensure effective role of ESADP in poverty alleviation among plantain and banana farmers in Edo state it was recommended that; government should provide adequate funding for the ESADP programme.
