Despite the numerous efforts by the government and NGO’s maize production and profitability amongst small scale farmers has remained low amidst large chunks of land, abundant labor force, easy access to inputs, favourable climatic conditions and ready market. Therefore the purpose of the study was intended to access profitability of maize in the area of study | en_US |
