Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, , language: English, abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the effect of farmer education on farm productivity of small-scale maize producing farmers. The educational system in Ethiopia is differentiating by low participation rates, particularly in rural areas. The agriculture productivity and income of rural famer is increased by farmer education (both formal and informal education). In order to achieve the objective of the study cross-sectional data has been collected from 200 maize producing farmers on the production level, farm size, farm input and equipment used, educational level, farm experience, gender, age, secondary occupation, etc. Semi-Structured questionnaire has been administered, and interview was conducted for selected farmers in order to collect the relevant data. Both descriptive statistics and econometrics model were used to analysis the data collected from household head. Cobb-Douglas production function model has been used to analysis the effect of farm education on farm productivity by including the education level as input of production.

The purpose of the study is to explore the relation between the formal, nonformal, and informal education that farmers in Peru have received and their subsequent efficiency as farm operators. Education has an important role, but this role depends crucially on its technological and economic context. The effects of schooling are stronger in the more modern regions. A minimum level of schooling is necessary for the positive effects to appear, and this level increases with the modernity of the environment. Agricultural extension has a direct effect on contacted farmers, but the effectiveness of extension depends on the appropriateness of the message to the stage of agricultural development of the farmers. An indirect effect of extension through imitation is also of importance. Migration experience has powerful effects as a form of informal education.

This book explores the relationship between the education farmers have received and their subsequent efficiency as farm operators. The concern is with the self-employed in agriculture, the small farmer. The study is concerned solely with ascertaining empirically the effect of schooling on agricultural efficiency and, when possible, the effect of access to information as measured by exposure to extension services. The study uses data from Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand; related findings from several other countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are reviewed. Surveys of individual farms provide the data used in the empirical analyses. Analyses from Thailand indicate that farmers of all educational levels are maximizing profits. However, more educated farmers do have higher levels of profits, which reflect the higher levels of productivity found in the production function analyses. Education has little effect on market efficiency. Higher levels of education and exposure to extension services increase the probabilities of using chemical fertilizers. The effects of education were much more likely to be positive in modernizing agricultural environments rather than in traditional ones.
