Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Dec 1987

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

With the emergence of the dry season and harmattan in most parts of the country, very little farming activity took place during the fourth quarter of 1987. Rather, some northern states, namely, Bauchi, Niger and Sokoto reported serious drought with grasshopper infestations which damaged thousands of hectares of farm crops. However, a total of 124,788 metric tonnes of fertilizers were distributed to farmers across the country in preparation for the next farming season. This figure represents a decrease of 41.6 per cent over the level in the preceding quarter.

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Second Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

The widespread concern expressed about possible adverse effects of late arrival of rains abated slightly towards the end of the quarter. This was because in the south, middle belt and sudan savannah regions, the level of rain allowed early crops like maize, yam, groundnut and vegetables to be planted, nurtured and in some cases harvested. In the northern parts of the country, especially the sahelian zones, farmers experienced their first rains which facilitated land preparation activities as well as plan ting, especially in Kaduna, Bomo and Sokoto states. A total of 130, 952.35 tonnes of fertiliser were discharged at the …

The Impact Of River Basin Development Authorities On Nigerian Agriculture: A Case Study Of Niger River Basin Development Authority, E. D. Balogun, E. U. Ukeje Jun 1986

The Impact Of River Basin Development Authorities On Nigerian Agriculture: A Case Study Of Niger River Basin Development Authority, E. D. Balogun, E. U. Ukeje

Economic and Financial Review

The paper traced the history of water resource development in Nigeria, and assessed the impact of the Niger River Basin Development Authority (NRBDA) on crop production in the region. The analysis of available data showed that although the NRBDA's activities resulted in improvements in crop yields, and farm incomes of beneficiaries, the impact on regional output and area cultivated was marginal since it accrued to only very few farmers. Moreover, the cost of generating such increments was outrageously high when compared to the incremental costs incurred by alternative development institutions in respect of similar activities. The NRBDA was not without …

Virginia—Major Force In World Trade, R. Clifton Poole Jan 1984

Virginia—Major Force In World Trade, R. Clifton Poole

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

The importance of world trade has long been recognized in the Commonwealth of Virginia (VA). Indeed, one of the major reasons for establishing the original colony at Jamestown was to provide a base from which the New World "treasures" could be shipped to the mother country—England. As a result, since colonial days VA has been one of the world's major exporters of tobacco. Even today the volume of VA's tobacco exports is second only to her exports of bituminous coal.

This world trade orientation so deeply imprinted in the thinking of the early leaders of the infant colony still prevails …

Agricultural Development And Potential Markets In Singapore, Malaysia And Indonesia - Report Of A Study Tour, K R. Rutter

All other publications

The study tour of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia was undertaken as part of the Government of Western Australia'a policy to broaden overseas markets for agricultural products. Preliminary examinations of these economies suggest that each represents a potentially large market given their large populations and levels of foreign reserves. Malaysia and Indonesia in particular have large reserves of petroleum, minerals and timber which provide their economies with the necessary foreign reserves to finance imports. Singapore relies on its strategic position as and entrepot port for its foreign reserves.

Agriculture In Western Australia : Past, Present And Future, A W. Hogstrom Jan 1967

Agriculture In Western Australia : Past, Present And Future, A W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE post war period has seen very rapid growth and changes in the agriculture of Western Australia.

Almost every industry and region of the State has contributed to the growth of rural production which in turn has been responsible for much of the development in other sectors of the economy.

Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

IN West Australian agriculture there is a considerable "backlog" of information available to farmers which is not being used in practical farming. This, of course, is true of agricultural industries anywhere in the world.

This "backlog" results in a big difference in productivity between the best farms and the "average" farms in each district.

This article is a simple economic study of the potential of one shire of Western Australia.

The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 2. Costs And Returns, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE potential of the Wongan-Ballidu Shire to produce increased quantities of grain, wool, sheep and meat up to the year 2,000 was estimated and discussed in the first part of this article (see last issue).

In this second and final part the financial returns likely to accrue to the shire and the individual farmers as a result of these increases are discussed.
