Neco 2017 Agricultural Science Question 31
Practice objective / multiple choice question 31 from the 2017 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
An agricultural extension officer plans a 3‑day training for 120 smallholder maize farmers. The cost per farmer for training (materials, transport, per diem) is \(\text{₦}5{,}000\). After training, each farmer who adopts the recommended fertilizer package (which costs \(\text{₦}12{,}000\) per hectare) is expected to increase his maize yield by \(1.8\) tonnes per hectare. The market price of maize is \(\text{₦}30{,}000\) per tonne. Historical data show that 68% of trained farmers adopt the fertilizer within the next season. Assuming each farmer cultivates 1 hectare, calculate the expected net monetary benefit per farmer (benefit minus training cost) after the season.
