questionnaire, information i sought were on the socio economic characteristics
and other quantitative: variables of interest. Descriptive statistical tools
such as percentages, mean, frequencies, were used to analyse the socioeconomic
characteristics of the respondents while multiple regression and trend analysis
were used for estimating the determinants of investment and level of production
of the farmer in the study area respectively. The result of I the analysis
revealed that pig farming in Abia State w@& predominantly I I practised by
literate male farmers. However the inadequacy of funds and diseases resulting
to high mortality rate were the major problems of the farms while age, interest
rate, farm profit. farm expenses, farm income and ' depreciation were
