Özet:

 This study focused on the determinants of welfare status and net farm income among smallholder sorghum farmers in North West, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling method was employed to select 140 smallholder sorghum farmers. Primary data were used. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the mean age of smallholder sorghum farmers was 47 years. The smallholder sorghum farmers were literate with approximate of 11 years of school education. Approximate 75 of smallholder sorghum farmers were members of cooperative organizations. Averagely, the farm size was estimated at 1.5 hectares, this means they are small-scale farmers. The gross margin and net farm income were calculated at 557175.35 and 518022.45 Naira per hectare, respectively. This shows that sorghum production is profitable. The total income and expenditure were estimated at 12192714.72 and 476439.76 Naira, respectively. The sorghum farmer household income exchange was calculated at 2.56. Approximate 97 which amounted to 69.29 of smallholder farmers had increased in welfare status from sorghum farming. The age of farmers, level of education, household size, farm experience, farm size, and amount of credit accessed were significantly different from zero in influencing the welfare status of smallholder sorghum farmers. The farm size and labour were significantly different from zero in influencing the net farm income of smallholder sorghum farmers. The study recommends mechanized farming utilizing improved seeds and new farm technologies to increase productivity, income and welfare status.
