Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 26
Abstract
This paper is on agricultural development management: calling on youths to return to the farm with Orumba North L.G.A as the case study. The study adopted a survey approach and a five point likert scale was used to elicit response from 80 respondents that were selected using purposive sampling method. Data gathered was analyzed using simple percentage while hypotheses were tested with the non-parametric chisquare test using the 20.0 version of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Findings from the study revealed that the contribution of agriculture to the aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) of Nigeria is still at its lowest and though there is a recent call to lure the youths back to farm, failure to provide a friendly business atmosphere for agribusinesses to thrive through functional and supportive policies may have dissuaded the youths from getting involved into agriculture. The researcher therefore concludes that public policy makers in the agriculture sector should develop and implement policies that enhance agribusiness in order to promote youth’s participation. It was recommended that to attract youths back to farm, government should provide economic to youth farmers, provide trade policies such as making available high breed seedlings, bumper harvest purchase plan to forestall spoilage and put in place social policies that promotes the perception and image of agriculture
