O knihe

Case Study from the year 2024 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public administration, University of Buea (Department of Public Law and Public Administration), language: English, abstract: Agriculture is a vital activity for the people of Lebialem Division in Cameroon. The productivity and success of farmers are largely dependent on government support for agriculture, as well as the extent to which all farmers can benefit from this support to increase production, improve their standard of living, and achieve self-employment. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of government support on promoting agricultural development in the Lebialem Division. The study employs the "Schultzian Theories of Agricultural Development," which focuses on transforming traditional agriculture. A survey research design was used, with the Lebialem municipality as the case study. The target population consisted of over 5,000 individuals involved in farming, and a sample size of 100 was randomly selected. Data was collected and analyzed using the chi-square method. The findings confirm the research hypothesis, indicating that government support leads to increased agricultural production in the Lebialem Division, although some challenges remain. The study made several recommendations, including that the government should be the sole distributor of subsidies to ensure fairness, construct farm-to-market roads to facilitate the transportation of farm products, introduce mechanized farming methods, create more storage facilities, and impose a stable price for farm outputs.
