Description

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2025 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, , language: English, abstract: This study was carried out to ascertain the impact of FACAN on the economic empowerment of its members. The study used structured questionnaire administered to 400 purposively and randomly selected FACAN members to collect data for the study in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, which was analysed using descriptive statistics and estimation of the specified model using logistic regression. The results of the study suggest that FACAN facilitates members' access to; improve input for increase in yield per hectare, extension services for technical assistance for increase in output, training and skills acquisition for capacity building, more access to domestic and international markets for increase in sale and income, thereby impacting positively on their economic empowerment. The study also revealed that membership of FACAN does not facilitate access to grants and loans and this is due to the stringent collateral requirements and conditions attached to available grants and loans. The study advocated the need for government to formulate appropriate policy to encourage stakeholders in the agricultural commodity sub-sector to participate in FACAN and other agricultural commodity cooperatives as it would have multiplier effects on productivity, economic empowerment of members and growth of Nigeria economy.
