Abstract

The challenges catfish marketers encounter due to the seasonality of catfish production in most rural areas have masterminded difficulty in free product distribution to consumers, which invariably hampers their income. Therefore, the study examined catfish marketing in Oyo state, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was adopted to select sampled respondents. First, five wards were selected purposively out of 10 in the study area. Next, 10 markets were randomly selected evenly from each ward. Finally, 120 marketers were selected from each of the sampled markets. The questionnaire was adopted for data collection on the demographic characteristics of respondents, marketing channels available, gross margin estimation of catfish marketing, factors influencing catfish marketing, and constraints on catfish marketing. Data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean scores, gross margin, linear regression, and benefit-cost ratio (BCR). Key findings indicate that 74% of respondents earn between ₦200,000 and ₦400,000 ($476 - $952) monthly, with a gross margin of 64.4%, meaning marketers retain $0.644 for every revenue. The analysis showed that the identified influencing factors could explain 58% of variations in catfish marketing. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was found to be 1.41:1, indicating a positive return on investment, with marketers retaining approximately ₦1,453,056 from their activities. However, constraints such as seasonality, high transportation costs, and inadequate cold storage facilities were significant hurdles. Therefore, establishing commodity markets in rural areas to enhance connections between fish farmers and buyers, promoting stakeholder partnerships, and providing training on product quality and storage were recommended. These measures aim to improve the efficiency and profitability of catfish marketing.

Abstract

Flooding’s impacts are well-known, but environmental consequences in South-Western Nigeria and alternatives to costly engineering solutions must be examined. Hence, assessing residents’ perception of flooding on social well-being and forestry-based mitigation approaches in flood-prone communities of South-western Nigeria. A four-stage sampling approach was adopted for the study. The first three stages involved strategic selection in the Nigerian states of Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos, where two Local Government Areas (LGAs) were chosen in each state, leading to 22 communities in each of the LGAs, based on past flood incidences. In stage four, a household listing was used to select 250 households for questionnaire administration in 2021 systematically. Using the following analytical tools, data were analysed using descriptive statistics, ranking, and chi-square at α0.05. Findings revealed that majority of residents (72.8%) were indigene, have been resident in the flood-prone locality for at least 16 years (52.4%), married (74.4%), aged between 21 and 50 years (78.4%) and living in households of between 5 and 8 persons (62.8%). Furthermore, residents’ well-being indicators reveal significant shortcomings, except for positive social connections, education, and sanitation facilities trends. The study also identified tree planting, tree conservation in the upland areas, sustenance of the natural environment, and stabilisation of stream banks using vegetation as a nature-based solution to flood mitigation, depending on residents’ indigeneity, years of residing in the study community, and marital status. To ensure sustainable forestry practices that mitigate floods in the study area, it is crucial to have environmental and forestry agencies involved.
