Abstract
This study described the socio-economic characteristics of the farm household
members; assessed the rural land market situation in Osun State; estimated the farm
and non-farm income of the farm households; and determined the influence of rural
land markets on intra-household resource allocation, with a view to improving the
land market situation, and ensuring effective and efficient allocation of resources
among the cocoa-based farming households.
Multistage sampling technique was used for the selection of respondents for this
study. At the first stage, Ife-Ijesa zone was purposively selected because of the
concentration of cocoa farming households in the zone. At the second stage, the Local
Government Areas (LGAs) in the zone were stratified into two groups i.e. rural and
urban, from the rural LGAs, 4 LGAs out of 10 were purposively selected based on the
availability of tenants farming households in the LGA. From the selected LGAs, 5
villages were selected at random; within each village, farming households were
stratified into landlords and tenants; 5 landlord and 5 tenant farming households were
selected at random from each of the villages, making a total of 200 farming
households. The primary data were collected from the respondents with the aid of a
pre-tested questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, two stage least square (2SLS) and
quadratic almost ideal demand systems (QUAIDS) model were used to analyse the
data collected
