Bu çalışma manyok çiftçilerin Nijerya'daki Delta Eyaleti'nde Kök ve Yumru Genişletme Programına (KYGP) katılım konusundaki tutumunu tespit etmektedir. Çalışma alanındaki 3 Tarımsal Kalkınma Programı bölgesinden 120 katılımcı seçmek için çok aşamalı örnekleme prosedürü kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Haziran - Kasım 2018 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyo-kişisel özellikleri, manyok üretiminden elde edilen gelir ve RTEP'e katılım konusundaki tutum, yapılandırılmış görüşme programı kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Verileri p ≤ 0.05'te analiz etmek için frekans sayısı, yüzde, ortalama, Ki-kare, Pearson Ürün Moment Korelasyonu ve çoklu regresyonlar kullanılmıştır. Ortalama yaş, örgün eğitim ve hane halkı büyüklüğü sırasıyla 46 yaş, 9 yaş ve 6 kişidir. Ankete katılanların çoğunluğu (% 85.8) evli, örgün eğitimli (% 73.3) ve aile işçiliği (% 37.5) şeklindedir. Ankete katılanların çoğu (% 60.0) şehir merkezlerine haftada bir defadan fazla ziyaret ile kozmopolitken, % 79.2'si manyok üretiminden yıllık ortalama 234.641,67 N gelir elde etmektedir. Ortalamanın biraz üzerinde (% 51.7) KYGP'e katılım konusunda olumsuz tutum bulunmaktadır. Yaş (β = -0.08), hane halkı büyüklüğü (β = 0.37) ve manyok üretiminden elde edilen gelir (β = 5.47) KYGP'e katılım tutumuna önemli katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, manyok çiftçilerin Delta Eyaletinde KYGP'e katılım konusundaki tutumunun marjinal olarak elverişsiz olduğu ve yaş, hanehalkı büyüklüğü ve gelirine göre belirlendiği sonucuna varmıştır. Bu nedenle, KYGP'i uygulayan hükümet, kalkınma organizasyonları ve diğer paydaşların manyok üretiminden elde edilen geliri artırmak için müdahale düzenlemeleri yapması önerilmektedir; bu KYGP'e karşı olumlu tutumu geliştirecektir.

This study ascertained cassava farmers’ attitude towards participation in Root and Tuber Expansion Programme (RTEP) in Delta State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 120 respondents from the 3 Agricultural Development Programmes (ADPs) zones in the study area. The study was conducted from June to November 2018. Data on respondents’ socio-personal characteristics, income earned from cassava production and attitude towards participation in RTEP were generated using structured interview schedule. Frequency count, percentage, mean, Chi-square, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regressions were used to analysed data at p ≤ 0.05. The mean age, years of formal education and household size were 46 years, 9 years and 6 persons, respectively. Majority (85.8%) of the respondents were married with formal education (73.3%) and using family labour (37.5%). Most (60.0%) of respondents were cosmopolitan with more than once a week visit to urban centres, while 79.2% earned an average annual income of N234,641.67 from cassava production. A little above average (51.7%) had unfavourable attitude towards participation in RTEP. Age (β=-0.08), household size (β= 0.37) and income earned from cassava production (β= 5.47) were significant contributors to attitude towards participation in RTEP. This study concluded that the attitude of cassava farmers towards participation in RTEP in Delta State is marginally unfavourable and determined by age, household size and income. Therefore, it is recommended that government, development organisations and other stakeholders implementing the RTEP should organize intervention to increase income earned from cassava production, this will enhance favourable attitude towards towards RTEP.
