In many developing countries like West Africa to be precise Nigeria a lot of financial finance who earn a living as a result of farming and carrying out other from agricultural practices are being hindered and obstructed as a result of some factor that militates them from maximizing their productivity . in Nigeria 60 to 70% of our labour force is considered to be in agriculture . But yet west African countries like Nigeria cannot meet their domestic food requirement which have in turn lead to the GDP of it region to decline towards contribution of Agriculture outputs. Below are some of the reasons for this low productivity :
INADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM : in most countries in West Africa they have been in presence bad roads or total lack of it which have declined production of product to market very difficult and this lead to wastage . Do you have been non-availability of cargos coupled with high cost of transporting this farm produce making it difficult for agricultural to develop .
CRUDE IMPLEMENTS : some farmers in West Africa countries are still in position of using crude implement to carry out farm activities and practices which have limits their potential of maximizing their output this is due to the fact that users could implement requires high rate human labour to function . The use of simple farm tools like cutlass and hoe is considered too low and cultural production . Majority of farmers in West Africa are so poor to the extent that they can't afford to buy modern tools and equipment to improve production .
