abstract

For the purpose of this research work, an opinion survey was made using oral interview and author – constructed questionnaire to examine “the contributions of agriculture to rural development” using Udi Local Government Area of Enugu as a case study. The researchers relied on data collected from seventy-five (75) respondents who were agricultural concerned persons. To guide the research, the above opinions were gathered and analysed/interpreted, analysis of data revealed agriculture is the main stay of the rural dwellers, that proper awareness has not been created about agriculture by those concerned and that these rural dwellers are aware of the contributions of agriculture to rural development. However further analysis of data received courtesy opinions of respondents revealed that the government has not done so much as it supposed for agricultural development in rural areas, more to this that most of the factors hindering the effective advancement of agriculture are not natural but man-made, hence could be solved. However, it is suggested that further and more indepth research on this study should be done as to as to ascertain factors impending or militating against the contributions of agriculture to rural development, also on ways these contributions could be fully utilized to effectively develop rural areas.

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

Agriculture according to Anyanwu, A. C. (1975) can be defined as “a cultivation of the land for the purpose of producing food for man and animals and also fibre or raw materials for our industries”.  It also includes the processing and marketing of crops.

Another definition from V. O. Akinyosoye O. (1976) states that agriculture is concerned basically with the husbandry of crops and animals for food and other purpose.

Agriculture has been the main stay of man right from the earliest times.  It is the oldest occupation and the entire world depends mostly on it for food requirements.  In the olden days, man practiced crude method of farming which involved local tool such as stones, sticks and other related equipment.

Today, agriculture is being looked upon as a basic necessity of life.  Food is an essential thing among the human needs. It is believed that without food, nobody can survive.  This is as a result of the benefits of agriculture.  Today also, private individuals, communities, states and federal government have geared every effort towards bringing agriculture to the door step of their citizens.

The development of agriculture started when the ancient hunters who depended on fruits and vegetables as well as animals as their food found out that some of the seeds.  From the fruits they dropped, as they moved along germinated and grew on their own.  They started nursing some of these economics fruit crops as their own.  In his quest for food and shelter, man has adopted many agricultural practices through the ages and his technical skills and material resources grew.  The four major types are hunting and gathering, pure subsistence agriculture, mixed subsistence with some cash crops production and pure commercial agriculture.

Agriculture sector is the leading non-oil sector in Nigeria economy.  About 70 of the total population engaged in agriculture while about 30 of the total working population are taking part in white colar jobs and others in commercial activities.  This is the reason why demand is greater than supply in Nigeria market, today concerning food production.

Since 1960, most people in the rural areas have been migrating to the urban areas in search of employment which offers a good living condition and because of this, agriculture is neglected.

There are also other problems that face agriculture already.  These problems lies in the traditional and subsistence system of agriculture.  Production techniques are poor and there are few applications of fertilizers and insecticides.

Many efforts and contributions have been made to improve agriculture and the production of agricultural products in this country particularly in Udi Local Government Area.  As part of its contribution in finding solutions to the problems of Nigeria Agriculture, the Societe General Bank of Nigeria Limited organized three symposia in October 1984.  The symposia served as forums for bringing together participants from the public and private sectors including farmers, industrialists, government officials and researcher.

This was held at the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture Ibadan on 16th and 17th October, 1984, while the second symposium took place at Durabar Hotel Kaduna on 22nd and 23rd October 1984.  The third symposium was held in Lagos at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs on 25th and 26th October 1984.

The Ministry of Agriculture also arranged for effecting the collecting of agrometerological data to ensure successful timing of agricultural activities.  The ministry established Young Farmers Club (YFC) to encourage youths under twenty five years to farm in their localities.

Other programmes had been mapped out towards achieving self sufficiency in food production, such programmes included the Operation Feed Nation (OFN), Green Revolution, Agricultural Development Project (ADP), MOSA etc.  Again, the introduction of Better Life for rural women from rural to urban centres in search of white collar jobs.  Again in the introduction of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 1960, agriculture was responsible for 63% of it.  The major components of GDP being agriculture, mining, electricity, manufacturing etc.

All these efforts by the Ministry has made agriculture to be very important for the provision of most human needs.

For clarity purpose, it will be important to give a vivid description of the geographical background of the study area Udi.

Udi is a Local Government Area in Enugu States.  It is bounded by some local government areas such as Ezeagu, Oji River, Nkanu, Enugu North and Awgu.  It is a very populous local government area made up of about 19 towns.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:

One of the major problems facing rural areas, both in Nigeria and other underdeveloped countries of the world, is the rural to urban migration.  As young and energetic men and women migrate to the urban areas, the rural areas instead of developing tend to slide more and more into underdevelopment.  Various government and agencies have been endeavouring in one way or the other to develop the rural areas of Nigeria, especially Udi Local Government Area which is the focus of this research.  These include the provision of electricity, pipe borne water supply, access roads, etc.  However, these measures have not fully stemmed the rural urban migration and the continuing decline of rural areas.

One of the major areas which I feel the government has not fully explored is the function which agriculture can play in enhancing rural development.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The objective of this research is to assess or weigh the contribution which agriculture has provided to the development of Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.  Again to assess that the greatest problem facing many nations and developing states is hunger and poverty especially in the rural areas.

Furthermore, to change many negative attitude towards the introduction of some scientific equipment and method of farming.

A:    To enable the country to achieve self sufficiency in the supply of foods by local production of adequate quantities of  high quality foods to keep pace with the food demand of the production.

B:    To provide raw material for local and foreign agrobased industries.

C:    To provide employment opportunities for able bodied people and to satisfy the market demand for locally manufactured products.

DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY:

The researcher intends to find out the contributions of agriculture to rural development in Udi L.G.A. of Enugu State.  Agriculture has contributed much since many rural areas use it as their main occupation and source of food to their family.  The researcher intend to find or rather concentrate on the gain of agriculture to rural areas especially Udi Local Government Area.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:

The study of the contributions of agriculture to the rural development of Udi Local Government Area is considered vital because it is believed that the result will help us to know the contributions which agriculture has provided to the local government area.

The findings will also alert government of Enugu State on some problems that hinder the contributions so that appropriate measures will be taken for improvement.

It is hoped that the findings will serve as a guide to the agricultural planners when adopting any programme.

The findings will further influence the habits and attitudes of the people who think that agriculture is meant for the illiterate and poor people.  And by knowing the contributions and agriculture in the state, it will increase peoples incentives and will therefore, make way for more increase in the capacity of food production in Udi Local Government Area.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

  1. What are the contributions of agriculture to rural development?
  2. Does the contributions change the attitude of farmers towards agriculture?
  3. Does it make life better to dwellers of Udi Local Government Area or worst for them.

ABSTRACT
The importance of fish production and marketing value of fish production in Ughilli North East Local Government Area of Delta State. Fishery industry in Ughelli North East Local Government were randomly selected to find out the importance of fishing. Questionnaires methods and oral interview were used in collection of data. Questionnaires were send out to people in fisheries industry to answer. The study review the importance of fish production industries, in the area of study include financial problem, inadequate pond for housing these fishes, and the marketing value.

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Although there are thousand of years of experience supporting aquaculture in and other countries, it is relatively young industry in the United States. It is also one of the fastest growing segments of animae agriculture. Aquaculture output has grown at a rate of more than 10% for captured fishers and 3% for livestock meat production (FAO, 2000) while only 13 million tons of fish were produced in North American in 1990, there were over 31 million tons produced in 1998. Concurrently, the value of this production doubled from 490 million to nearly 81 billion (USAA, 1998).

Human consumption of fish and related foods is increasing each year. Demand for fish products is greater than the ability of the oceans to supply them. A reduction in wild –caught fish coupled with increased consumption by American consumers has led to increased profitability, improvement in technology required for captive production, and a rapid expansion of farmed aquatic specie. As a result aquaculture is becoming a major alternatives crop globally and in many areas of the United States illustrates the increasing percentage of the total world fish production supplied by aquaculture in relation to the oceanic catch. Because the oceanic fish is no longer increasing significantly, additional production depends on growing more fish through aquaculture. Approximately 75 percent of the earths surface is covered by water yet humans harvest only 1 percent of their total food supply from this source.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Over 4000 years ago the Chinese through trial and error developed a system approach to harvesting the nutritional riches of water. They found that different species feed in different natural niches. The animals of particular use to in the ancient Chinese were complementary varieties or crop. The common crop (Cyprinus Earpio) is abenethic that consumer invertebrates in the bottom of the ponds. For thousand of years carp species provided the Chinese with a sustainable harvest. The Chinese discovered that the use of manure as fertilizer could enhance the productivity of a pond. In the 1880s aquaculturist in Eastern Europe countries also cultured the common carp (Silver carp, black carp, grass carp), in the United States aquacultures was launched when the federal government began hatching and stocking program to restock salmon lost spawning rivers in the North West. In an attempt to increase Salmon numbers in the wild, the federal government began hatching program that were basically “put and take” system. Eggs were collected, hatched in captivity and fingerlings released. This program, although successful in increasing wild-caught number, was actually more successful in providing initial information and research for the science of aquaculture. Hatching and restocking into the wild required development of the same technology as that needed by commercial hatching. This made salmon the major marine fish industry of the United state with more than half the production coming from public because over 600 million commercial salmon landing accounting annually.

In the 1950s the US government supported programs of farm pond construction and stocking. Although more than 2 million ponds were constructed they have demonstrated little importance for food production. In 1960s ponds were constructed specifically for catfish in the Southern United States where production fastest growing agricultural enterprises from 1970s till today. Catch moved to the Mississippi delta Region. The federal research laboratory in sluttgart, Arkansas, helped promote catfish by providing information and support. Regional government aquaculture research centers have helped bolster growth and profitability of the industry. Aquaculture production in North America involves diverse farming systems in diverse areas. It is most concentrated in the southern region of the United States. Today the US catfish industry of the largest aquaculture industry in the world employing more than 25, 000 people and generating over $ 1 billion annually. More than 178, 000 acres of catfish ponds on 1300 farms produced approximately 100 million metric tones per year. Currently 80% of the catfish production occurs in the state of Mississippi with 105, 000 acres concentrated on 400 farms. Many other commercial species are also centred in the south East Louisiana is the leading producer of craw fish and arkangas leads in baitfish production. Florida is the leading in ornamental fish, increasingly there are niches being found for hybrid stripped bass, fresh water prawns, red fish and tilapias throughout the country. Other species that have potential include allegation, bullfrogs and turtles. Production of the American cupped oyster is predominately from the united state e.g. clams, crayfish, catfish, mussels, cyprinids etc.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The statement of the problem are;

  1. Do we have fishing ponds in Delta State of Nigeria?
  2. Do we have enough facilities to engage in fishing production?
  3.  What can the federal government do about the fishing industry
  4. What are the roles of the public concerning fish production?

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of fish production and it marketing value of fish production in Nigeria, which is the usefulness of rearing of fish and it nutritional value to human.

–                     To identify the marketing value of fish production in our means.

–                     To understand aquatic animals much better now than that in the past.

–                     To bridge the gap resulting from our having invested minimally in salt and fresh water food production research to compare with research investment made in food production from the land.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study of the importance of fish production and it marketing value of fish production in Nigeria is significance not only to agriculturist but to everybody. If the contribution of US aquaculture project growth is achieved, the federal government, state government, general public at large established a good and adequate fishpond the need of today would be meet. Therefore the significance of carrying out this study is to show the influence of fish production in Nigeria.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

The research hypotheses are stated in the alternative and null hypothesis.

  1. What types of fish do agriculturist rear in the area of study.
  2. What are the marketing value facing aquaculture production in the area of study.
  3. What are the main purpose for aquaculture keeping by the government of that state.
  4. What are the nutrients gotten from aquaculture?

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Due to its compulsory has been carried out in some selected areas. This is also a result of a large number of fishpond within Nigeria. The selected fishponds covered are the school of education fish pond, Gabano hotel, Uniben fish pond, delta state fish pond Ughelli.

INTRODUCTION

1.1            EROSION

Throughout the world especially in area with deep sand plains high stream bank or long sloping valleys extensive erosion problem occurs large qualities of valuable agricultural lands are lost each year soil erosion soil erosion can be defined as the systematic removal of social including  plant nutrients  from the soil surface by the various agents of denudation occurring in several parts of the world under different geological  climate and soil conditions” (Areola 1992) it is a dynamic phenomenon which takes place on the surface  of the earth. (Ofomata 1985) it can also be defined as the rapid removal or destruction of soil when exposed to weather conditions by man’s activities such as deforestation cultivation over grazing bush burning and quarrying.

(Ofomate 1985) soil erosion is a proves whereby  surface  layer  of weathered rock is loosed and carried away by wind or  running water (over flow) and a lower horizon in the soil is exposed (Leonh 1992) soil erosion is the earth surface by wind and run of water.

(Henry 1978) Simply defined soil erosion as the physical  removal of surface soil by wind moving ice or water in all these the soil particle must be detach from the parent soil mass transported and then the deposition of detached materials. The level  of detaching capacity depend on the erosive agents. The degree of occurrence varies considerably from one part of the field to other and it is a major environmental problem in delta state land mass. So if not controlled can have much effects on the environment.

Unfortunately agriculture is carried out in over two third of Delta state area land mass is seriously  threatened by accelerated soil erosion which is systematically reducing the land area available for this purpose (source of information) causes effect and control measures discussed and this may help to stabilize agricultural land and improved their qualities for the communities increasing population. Gully erosion occurs in area steep relief lose sandy soils. It creates deep gullies hinder movement and the cultivation of lan. It is an advanced stage  of rill erosion where surface channel have been eroded to point that they cannot be smoothened by normal tillage operation.  Gully erosion is simply defined as the run off concentration in channels great that rill in large channels.

Often guiles  can be prevented if good land conservation measures are practices on the farm good tillage and cropping practices increase the absorptive capacity of soil resulting in less run  off and also protect the land surface from erosion. Surface and water should be covered from lands through proper waters way so as not to create potential gully problem. Better strips should be located at potential gully start points such as open ditches or deep depression around delta state.

 

1.3     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The  objectives of the study are:

  1. To study the nature of the erosion in Delta state
  2. To study the effect of erosion in Delta state
  3. To suggest measures controlling gully erosion in Delta state.
