13th Annual International Management Conference Proceeding

Since mechanical transformation is difficult in situations of small pieces of land, the government should out
much emphasis on biological transformation. Fertilizers and improved seeds and animals should be provided
to farmers to help theme increase output within the existing pots of land.
1. The government should endeavor to educate farmers on the advantages of small families. This will reduce
population and eventually reduce pressure on land.
2. The traditional gender division of labour should be broken down by massive sensitization and training in
rural areas. Agricultural activities should be allocated on the basis of ability not gender.
3. To attract youths in agriculture, agriculture should be made attractive. Markets for agricultural produce should be
sough and the government should put a policy on prices for agricultural output in place so as not to cheat
farmers. With high prices, the youths will be attracted back to agriculture.
4. Training farmers on modern methods of farming should be initiated at lower levels. This is because training has
always concentrated on big and progressive farmers leaving small holders behind.
Area for further research

1. Determinants of prices for agricultural output
2. The impact of privatization of extension services on agricultural output
3. The effect of fluctuating prices on agricultural output.
