rural infrastructure on rice productivity in Kano state, Nigeria. There
are 9 out of 44 local governments in the state that are producing rice
with 17 rice clusters. Questionnaire will be used to collect data from
the respondents in the study area. A random sample of 768 rice
farmers will be selected from 9 rice clusters that have a population of
135,895 rice farmers, using the multistage and purposive sampling.
Literature has shown that rural infrastructures are key aspect that
facilitates increase in the productivity of a farmer. Thus, for this study,
infrastructure is conceptualised as physical and institutional. Also,
included in the study is improved rice seed as an input and climate
change awareness as a proxy. Further, the study intends to use the
Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier model in identifying the impact of
rural infrastructure on rice productivity as well as the productivity
level of rice the farmers in the study area. | | Keywords : | | | Physical Infrastructure, Institutional Infrastructure,
