Socioeconomic Analysis of Agricultural Production among Small Scale Farmers in Vayoc Dzor Province, Armenia
Original language description
Small-scale farmers are known to produce the greater proportion of food consumed in the Third World, especially in Armenia. Therefore, there is a need to study the various socioeconomic factors responsible for agricultural production at the farm household level in Armenia. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaires. Analytical adopted for the study include: descriptive statistics, gross margin and regression analysis. We found that the gross margin of small scale farmers in the study area is 580.16 Euro per production cycle. Further, age of farmers, household size, years of farming experience, educational status, access to agricultural training and access to credit facilities are identified significant socioeconomic factors that influencing agricultural productivity in the study area. In summary, we recommend that effective credit facilities structure and agricultural trainings should be made accessible to farmers, while farmers that receive financial aid/support from government should be well monitored by appropriate government agency. Also, youth participation in agricultural production activities should be encouraged.
