Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Farming as a primary source of income has failed to guarantee sufficient livelihood for

most farming households in developing countries, and agricultural development policies

have largely produced little improvement, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Diversification into off-farm activities has become the norm. While the poverty and

inequality effects of off-farm income have been analyzed in different developing

countries, much less empirical studies have been conducted on the impact of off-farm

income on agricultural production and efficiency. Using survey data from rural Nigeria,

this article examines the effect of off-farm income on farm output, expenditure on

purchased inputs and technical efficiency among farm households. The results indicate

that off-farm income has a positive and significant effect on farm output and demand for

purchased inputs. Though the result does not establish that off-farm income improves

technical efficiency, there is a slight efficiency gains in households with off-farm income.

The findings of this study challenge the notion that participation in off-farm activities

may lead to a decline in own-farm agricultural production, due to competition for family

labour between farm and off-farm works. Rather, they tend to suggest that there are

indeed elements of complementarities and positive spill-over effects between the farm

and off-farm sectors of rural the economy. Removing credit market imperfections and

upgrading rural infrastructure could enhance the development of both sectors

simultaneously.
