Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of subsidy removal on smallholder livestock farmers' productivity in Nigeria. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The impact of subsidy removal on smallholder livestock farmers in Nigeria resulted in both challenges and opportunities. Initially, it led to increased input costs and decreased profitability, but it also spurred innovation and efficiency improvements. However, limited access to credit and inadequate support structures hindered overall productivity. Tailored policy interventions are crucial to address these challenges and promote sustainable growth in the sector. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Public choice theory, theory of economic adjustment & dependency theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of subsidy removal on smallholder livestock farmers' productivity in Nigeria. Cooperative farming models encourage resource pooling and collective action, reducing costs and enhancing market access. By tailoring subsidy reintroduction to the most vulnerable sectors, policies can be more targeted and efficient, ensuring optimal use of resources.
取消补贴对尼日利亚小农畜牧业生产率的影响
目的:本研究旨在分析取消补贴对尼日利亚小农畜牧业生产率的影响。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究法。案头研究设计通常被称为二手数据收集。这主要是从现有资源中收集数据,因为与实地研究相比,它具有成本低的优势。我们目前的研究调查了已经出版的研究和报告,因为这些数据可以通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果取消补贴对尼日利亚小农畜牧业的影响既带来了挑战,也带来了机遇。起初,补贴导致投入成本增加,利润率下降,但也促进了创新和效率的提高。然而,获得信贷的机会有限和支持结构不足阻碍了整体生产力的提高。有针对性的政策干预对于应对这些挑战和促进该部门的可持续增长至关重要。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:公共选择理论、经济调整理论和依赖理论可用于今后分析取消补贴对尼日利亚小农畜牧业生产率影响的研究。合作养殖模式鼓励集中资源和集体行动,降低成本并提高市场准入。通过针对最脆弱的部门重新引入补贴,可以使政策更有针对性和更有效率,确保资源得到最佳利用。
