Salihu Dandare Dogon-daji, Ibrahim Sahabi Mohammad.


Abstract
The effects of Fadama III project to the improvement in the income of participating dry season rice farmers in Sokoto state was studied. Population of the study comprised of all dry season rice farmers in Sokoto state. Purposive sampling was used to select six Local Government Areas. Purposive sampling was used to ensure the selection of LGAs with outstanding potentials in the cultivation of dry season crops. Random sampling technique was used to select 20 project participants and 12 non-project participants from each of the selected LGAs. Descriptive statistics and gross margin analysis were used for data analysis. Findings of the study revealed that Majority of project beneficiaries (71.30%) and non-project beneficiaries (63.38%) did not attain any form of formal education. Cost of labour (family and hired) dominated the production cost for both the project beneficiaries and non-project beneficiaries. Result of the gross margin analysis showed that the project participants made more profit (N319, 459.44 Per Hectatre) in dry season rice production compared to N270, 334.61 Per Hectare earned by non-project participants. It was recommended that the Fadama III project should as much as possible expand their area of operation so that more farmers can benefit from their services.

Key words: Fadama III Project, Dry Season, Rice Farmers, Income
