Özet:

 


This study examined the events of
rural-urban migration on Arable crops production in the rural areas of Delta
North Agricultural Zone of Delta State. Data were collected from 180 rural
households’ arable crops farmers. Descriptive statistics and multiple
regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Most migrants were able
bodied young adults. Labour shortage was experienced in almost every household
by arable crops farmers. As a result of labour shortage there were lots of
uncultivated and under-cultivated arable crop lands in hectares. Net revenue
foregone significantly correlated with labour shortage, reduction in arable
crops production and rate of migration. The findings reveal that rural-urban
migration was selective of age, marital status, and educational backgrounds
while the primary reason for the movement was to better themselves
economically. Also, that the massive influx of people to the cities was due to
the dearth of infrastructure and economic opportunities and the neglect
suffered by the agricultural sector in the rural areas. As a recommendation, a
more proactive measure be adopted in the rural infrastructural development and
government should adopt and enforce infrastructural priority policies that will
create the enabling environment  for
rural  transformation and agricultural
development in rural areas that will bring positive effects to households of
arable crops farmers who are the hub of food production in Delta North.
