Abstract

Tissue culture seedlings have been used to improve production in agriculture. However, tissue culture suffers from low adoption. In this context, adoption studies in Tanzania of these types of seedlings are scarce and in general, do not jointly account for the judgment factors affecting the adoption decision among banana farmers. This study investigates the Influence of Complexity on Adoption. Farm-level data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 350 banana farmers in Kilimanjaro. Binary logistic was used to analyse the data and the results show the easier-to-grow significantly increased adoption. The findings of this study propose that; future information on seedlings technology must demonstrate an advantage over traditional seedlings and the investigation evidence supporting seedlings innovation must be clearly visible. We, therefore, concluded that the innovation adoption process has a social and complex element; it requires adequate extension of Information systems and negotiations with key stakeholders in the whole value chain.

Abstract

Banana is the world’s most popular fruit, with an estimated global export value of 7 billion dollars per year; they are also one of the most domestic foods and are traded by Tanzania farmers. However, approximately 15% of the global banana production is involved in trade. The inadequate adoption of Tissue Banana Seedlings has led to the assessment of the Influence of Entrepreneurial Activities on the Adoption of Tissue Culture Banana Seedlings in Tanzania-Kilimanjaro particularly. The study adopted a positivism philosophy, a cross-sectional survey design, and purposive sampling techniques targeting 350 farmers. Questionnaires were used for data collection, Binary Logistic Regression was applied for data analysis, the results show Entrepreneurial significantly influenced the adoption of Tissue culture seedlings, and Tissue culture seedlings offer more business opportunities than local suckers. Therefore, the study recommends promoting Entrepreneurial activities toward the adoption of tissue culture banana seedlings in Tanzania and developing countries
