Profitability Analysis of Millet Production in Katagum LocalGovernment of Bauchi State

The study examined the profitability analysis of millet production in Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State. Data were obtained with the aid of structured questionnaires administered to eighty millet farmers in the study area and analyzed using descriptive statistics, farm budgeting technique and multiple regression models. The result of farm budgeting showed that the total revenue (TR), Gross margin (GM) and net farm income (NFI) per hectare were ₦33,600.00, ₦15,000.00 and ₦14,750.00, respectively. The regression result revealed that Gender was significant at 1% and Farm size was significant at 10%. The major constraints identified were inadequate supply of input, lack of storage facilities and high cost of inputs. Based on the findings of the research, it was recommended that farm inputs should be supplied to farmers, especially to small-scale farmers, at lower prices and subsidized. Farmers should also form a cooperative society to pool their resources to gather, and the Ministry of Agriculture should address the issue of subsidizing the price of fertilizer and chemicals.
