Contribution of Agri-Inputs to Rural Poverty Mitigation: A Village Study

Abstract

Poverty becomes a chronic issue in developing countries especially in rural areas. The present study is about rural poverty considering the role of agricultural inputs like fertilizers, land holding, live stocks and tractor. The study is based on the primary source of data. Two hundred fifty households were interviewed. Logistic regression technique is employed to explore the effects of Agri-related factors and other socio-economic factors on rural poverty. The study concludes that the variables like fertilizers, land holdings, use of tractor livestock, education of the farmer, good health status and farmer’s experience are very significant factors and reduce the farmer’s poverty. It is suggested that the government should provide the fertilizer at cheaper rate and facilitate use of tractor in cultivation.
