Assessment of Yam Flakes Production among Rural Women in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria
Abstract
The study assessed yam flake production among rural women in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara state, Nigeria. The interview schedule was employed to obtain data from 120 sampled respondents. Data were analysed using percentage, mean, and Chi-square tests. Findings showed that the mean age of the respondents was 38 years, with a mean of 17.4 years of experience and an average monthly income of N23,167. The majority (78.2%) had formal education.
The study concluded that drudgery and inadequate storage facilities are the major constraints affecting yam flake production in the study area. The study recommends that the Women in Agriculture (WIA) should improve the capacity building of women processors to enhance the efficient production of yam flakes in the study area.
