Value Chain Analysis For Rubber Taping In Rubber Research Institute Of Nigeria Akwete Ukwa East L.G.A Abia State
ABSTRACT
This study value Chain Analysis
for Rubber Tapping was carried out in the Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria
Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area of Ahia State Nigeria. Thirty rubber
farmers were selected purposively from the study area. Primary data were
collected using a well structured questionnaire. Statistical techniques such as
frequency distribution tables and multiple regression techniques were used in
analyzing the data. The results of the study showed that rubber tapping was
dominated by male, which accounted for 73.8% of respondents. Majority of the
respondents had primary education, large household size, used personal saving
for tapping operations, and higher farming experience. The major problems faced
by rubber farmers were high transportation cost, low pricing, lack of storage
facilities, awareness of rubber tapping technology, access to credit and access
to technology. From findings, the recommendations proposed were the creation of
awareness about rubber tapping technology, provision of access to credit at low
interest rate, and encouraging education of the farmers.
