Słowa kluczowe | poverty, alleviating strategies, rural, farming household, Nigeria |

Abstrakt | The study analysed rural farming households’ poverty status and alleviating strategies in Benue State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: describes the rural household heads’ socio-economic characteristics; determine the poverty status of the respondents and its determinants; and identify poverty alleviating strategies of the respondents. Data for the study was collected from 420 respondents selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measurement index, and the Binary Logistic regression model. The findings of the study revealed a very high incidence of poverty (70%), having a gap of 0.34, and severity of 0.17. Poverty in the area is positively associated with the age of the household head and household size, while gender, educational level, off-farm activity, membership of a group, farm size, and land ownership are negatively associated with poverty. The common poverty alleviation strategies identified were agricultural wage labour (48.6%), rental services (45.0%), and transportation business (36.7%). Therefore, it was recommended that the government and other stakeholders should initiate sustainable social protection schemes that can assist rural residents in alleviating poverty until their condition improves. |

Title | Determinants of farmers. Decisions about production credit and ue measures: a case study for a rural area of dairy production system in podlasie province |
Słowa kluczowe | binarna regresja logistyczna, rodzinne gospodarstwa rolne, decyzje rolników, fundusze unijne, kredyty na produkcję, system produkcji mlecznej |
Key words | binary logistic regression, family farms, farmers. decisions about production credit and UE measures, dairy production system |
Abstrakt | Celem opracowania jest określenie zależności prawdopodobieństwa podjęcia decyzji przez rolników o korzystaniu z różnych funduszy unijnych oraz z kredytów na działalność rolniczą od wielu zmiennych przyczynowych, charakteryzujących wielostronnie gospodarstwa rolne w rejonie intensywnej produkcji mlecznej województwa podlaskiego. Zastosowano metodę binarnej regresji logistycznej na podstawie danych ankietowych ze 124 rodzinnych gospodarstw rolnych w dwóch gminach. Stwierdzono, że prawdopodobieństwo korzystania przez rolników z funduszy unijnych w badanym obszarze wiejskim, było uwarunkowane głównie przez kapitał ludzki oraz potencjał i system produkcji rolniczej gospodarstw. Prawdopodobieństwo korzystania przez rolnik ów z kredytów na działalność rolniczą zależy głównie od kapitału społecznego i ludzkiego, a także rezultatów produkcyjno-ekonomicznych produkcji rolniczej, zwłaszcza zwierzęcej. |
Abstract | The objective of the paper was to describe relationships of probability of farmers. decisions about production credit and UE measures on many cause variables characterizing different attributes of farms in a rural area of dairy production system in Podlasie province. The studied relationships were analyzed using binary logistic regression on the basis of data collected from a questionnaire sample of 124 family farms in two municipalities. Probability of farmers. decisions about UE measures in the studied area was determined mainly by human capital and agricultural production system in farms. Probability of farmers. decisions about production credit in this area was affected mostly by social and human capital as well as efficiency of agricultural production system, especially livestock production system. |
