| Abstract | The study examined the socio-economic background of maize farmers as well as the cost and returns associated with maize production in Kogi State of Nigeria. A multistage random sampling technique was used in the selection of the four local government areas, eight communities and 240 farmers used in this analysis. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from the farmers on their sex, age, farm size, educational status, farming experience, input used, their costs, output and the revenue. Gross margin analysis was used to analyze the data. The result showed that the gross margin for maize production was N57,300 per hectare and benefit-cost ratio was 1.91. This implies that maize production in Kogi State is profitable. It was therefore recommended that farmers should be encouraged to go into maize production. |
