This study analysed market participation by maize and cassava
farmers in Ondo State, Nigeria. The sample was selected via
multistage sampling technique. Data were collected from 80 maize
farmers and 80 cassava farmers in peri-urban and rural areas. Data
were analysed using descriptive statistics, truncated regression
analysis, T- and chow tests. Results revealed that the extent of
agricultural commercialization in rural area (66.6%) was higher
than peri-urban (65%) area under maize enterprise, while the
reverse was the case with cassava enterprise with 64.94% and 69.35%
for rural area and peri-urban area respectively. It was observed
that age, experience, cropping system, farm size, land tenure,
quantity of harvested output and unit price of output had
significant influence on the intensity of market participation by
maize farmers. For the cassava farmers, age, gender, farm size,
source of market information, unit price of output, land tenure,
household size, experience and non-farm income significantly
influenced the intensity of market participation. It is recommended
that well equipped market centers in various villages should be
established.
