Effects of cuniculture commercialization on household poverty status in south western Nigeria
Resumen
Este estudio evaluó el efecto de la comercialización de la cunicultura en la pobreza de los hogares en el estado de Osun, Nigeria. Se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales de recuentos de frecuencia, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT), Índice de Comercialización del Hogar (HCI) y Regresión Tobit para analizar los datos recopilados de 120 encuestados seleccionados al azar del registro de la Asociación de Criadores y Criadores de Conejos de Nigeria (RFABAN ) del Proyecto de Desarrollo Agrícola (ADP) de Ife / Ijesha. Los resultados del estudio muestran que la cunicultura es una empresa dominada por los hombres. La edad modal de los encuestados era de 18 a 60 años, y el 87,5% de los encuestados tenían una forma de educación u otra. La mayoría de los encuestados ganó entre N20000 - N100000 mensuales de la cunicultura. El estudio encontró que el 16% de los encuestados eran pobres porque sus ingresos estaban por debajo del umbral de pobreza. El HCI de la cunicultura indica que el 54,2% de la producción se realizó principalmente para consumo doméstico. El acceso al crédito y la falta de disponibilidad de mercados fueron las principales limitaciones para la comercialización de la cunicultura. El tamaño del hogar y el acceso al crédito influyen en la comercialización de la cunicultura en el área de estudio. El estudio recomienda que se anime a más personas a dedicarse a la cunicultura para que sirva como ingreso adicional para el hogar; los criadores de conejos se orientan más hacia el mercado más allá de su nivel actual de consumo en los hogares; se organizan en cooperativas para facilitar el acceso a los créditos y la creación de mercados. También se recomienda que se busquen soluciones apropiadas para los desafíos encontrados.Descargas
