摘要

农业推广在提高包括坦桑尼亚在内的许多国家的农业生产力方面发挥着非常重要的作用。通过农业推广服务,农民获得有用的信息,以尽量减少农业生产的挑战。尽管包括坦桑尼亚在内的许多国家的农民仍然依赖公共推广服务,但许多国家的政府已开始向非政府组织、农民组织和私营农业综合企业敞开大门,向农民提供服务。尽管它们存在,但获得私人组织提供的扩展服务仍然是一个主要问题。研究一直指出,农村地区只有少数农民能够获得私人组织提供的推广服务。农村农民获得推广服务的机会少,造成农村地区农业产量低,并仍然是持续贫穷的主要因素。有限的研究记录了私营组织提供的农业推广服务难以获得的因素。本研究旨在确定影响Kibondo地区农村农民获得私营组织提供的农业推广服务的因素。本研究采用横断面研究设计,通过对四个村庄的120名农民进行访谈收集数据。数据分析采用描述性统计和二元逻辑回归模型技术。研究发现,只有18.3%的农民获得了推广服务。性别、婚姻状况、受教育程度、农民收入和群体成员与获得推广服务呈显著正相关。该研究得出的结论是,研究地区只有一小部分农村农民能够获得推广服务。建议私人组织提供推广服务时应考虑到已确定的因素。

Factors Influencing Rural Farmers' Access to Agricultural Extension Services Provided by Private Organizations in Kibondo District, Tanzania
Agricultural extension plays a very important role in improving agricultural productivity in many countries, including Tanzania. Through agricultural extension services, farmers acquire useful information to minimize agricultural production challenges. Though farmers in many countries, including Tanzania, still rely on public extension services, the governments in many countries have started to open doors for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), farmer-based organizations, and private agribusiness firms to provide services to farmers. Regardless of their existence still access to extension services provided by private organizations has remained a main question. Studies have consistently pointed out that only a few farmers in rural areas get access to extension services provided by private organizations. Low access to extension services by rural farmers has contributed to low agricultural production in rural areas and has remained the main factor for persistent poverty. There are limited studies documenting the factors for low access to agricultural extension services provided by private organizations. This study aimed to determine factors influencing rural farmers’ access to agricultural extension services provided by private organizations in the Kibondo district. The study used a cross-sectional research design and data were collected by interviewing 120 farmers sampled from four villages. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression model techniques. The study found that only 18.3% of farmers had access to extension services. Gender, marital status, education level, farmers’ income, and group membership had a positive and statistically significant association with access to extension services. The study concluded that only a small proportion of rural farmers in the study area had access to extension services. It is recommended that the provision of extension services by private organizations should consider the identified factors.
