This paper examines the marketing system for these chemicals with the aim of identifying the causes of inefficiency in the system in relation to the problems of on-farm acquisition of subsidized chemicals. All channels through which the chemicals (subsidized and unsubsidized) are distributed were examined. Village markets were visited and 266 farmers from the main cocoa belt of Nigeria were interviewed as to the problems they encounter in acquiring and using chemicals. Over 72 per cent of farmers indicated that they bought their chemicals in the open market, and about 51 per cent indicated that they were not even aware of subsidized chemicals. Other findings include lack of knowledge about new chemicals, inappropriate packaging of some chemicals, late release of subsidized chemicals and release of the chemicals during the ‘lean’ season. The paper concludes with some recommendations and suggests a distribution system which could ensure more and better utilization of subsidized cocoa spraying chemicals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"22 2","pages":"Pages 105-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90074-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82647105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To throw light on the extent and the causes an examination was undertaken of the effects of major road developments on two Cumbrian agricultural estates in the United Kingdom. The estates differed in size, resources, and socioeconomic orientation and experience with their respective road schemes. The larger estate had more resources to plan effectively from the early stages, to enter into mutually beneficial arrangements with planners and contractors, and was able to administer the compensation negotiations effectively. The smaller, more typical, estate did not have the resources to plan effectively, and consequently suffered the usual difficulties that emerge from road developments, without reaping the benefits witnessed in the former example. The professional expertise and negotiating power available to the larger estate emerges as a crucial factor. Benefits to the National Farm would result from increasing the professional expertise available to affected farmers to provide similar negotiating capability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"23 4","pages":"Pages 223-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90018-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77411283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
