THE CONSTRAINTS OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is the most basic form of human activities in the whole world. It includes the cultivation of crops as well as rearing of animals for human uses. Today in Nigeria, about 70% of its population is engaged in this activity. Despite the large number of people engaged in this activity in the country and the whole world in general, the activity is not 100% successful. Norman (1981) grouped the development of agriculture in the world into four. Thus: physical, social, economical and political constraints. In the developed countries the physical and economic constraints are taken care of: now left with the problem of the land scarcity.
In the developing countries especially in the savannahs (Sudan and Sahel) where there is series of aridity condition, the most dominant problem in every country or nation, at least must have one or two of these problems which militate against the development of agriculture in the region.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Despite the large number of people engaged in agricultural activity in the study area, yet agriculture is still at the primary level. The study is therefore set out to find out the solution to the following questions:
1. What are the factors militating against agricultural development in the study area?
2. To what extent does the factors militating against agricultural development affects agricultural development in the study area?
3. What are then possible solutions to the problem caused by these factors in the study area?
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The research will therefore attempt:
1. To find out the factors militating against the agricultural development in Oredo Local Government Area.
2. To find out the extent to which the problem affects the development of agriculture in the study area.
3. To offer suggestions for the solution to the problem

This study is set to examine the effect of banditry on farming system in Nigeria.it will examine the different forms of banditry attacks on farming communities. It will determine the extent to which banditry affects farming system in Nigeria.
The need to overcome the challenges associated with the insufficiency of food production and consumption in Nigeria has been a recurring issue manifesting since independence in 1960.
The findings of this research work will undoubtedly provide the much needed information to government organizations, ministry of agriculture and academia.
This study will be of great relevance to students, researchers, and agricultural science teachers across Nigeria as the study will serve as a source of information for them for research and study purposes.
The research will add to the present body of knowledge in this field and will also act as a resource for academics, researchers, and students interested in conducting future research on this or a similar topic.
This research will add value to existing research by investigating the perceptions of beneficiaries about the nature of the subsidy programme and its implication on the availability, accessibility and affordability of subsidized fertilizer.
