摘要：This study investigated the production of groundnut by cooperative and noncooperative women farmers in Kajuru local government area of Kaduna State between 2018 and 2019 cropping season. A multi stage sampling procedure was employed to select 80 respondents using well structured questionnaire to collect relevant information for the study. Statistical tools such as frequency distribution, mean, percentages, net farm income (NFI) were employed to achieve the objectives of the study. The distribution of socio-economic characteristics revealed that 35 percent of the respondents were aged between 31- 41 years for both cooperative and non-cooperative farmers. On the basis of experience, 37.50 percent of the cooperative farmers have been producing groundnut for about 1-10 years while 52.60 percent of non-cooperative have a farming experience ranging between 11-20 years. An average yield of 1842.50Kg (18bags of 100Kg) per hectare and 1075.00 kg (10 bags) for the cooperative and noncooperative farmersrespectively were obtained. The net farm income for the cooperative was N125,488.59 and N89,640.00 for the noncooperative. The major constraints werelow priced produce, cattle interference and poor extension contact.It was recommended that more women farmers should be encouraged to join cooperative societies to afford them the benefits of group action for better pricing of produce, access to input and reduce production cost.
