Abstract:
This research study attempted to investigate the impact of land tenure on sugarcane productivity between owner and tenant cultivators. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting the 250 (150 owners and 100 tenants) sugarcane cultivators. Data collections were by face-to-face interview schedules and data analysis involved, log-log regression Model as well as Chow test to estimate sugarcane productivity and differences in the production functions between owner and tenant cultivators. The findings revealed that sugarcane productivity is more prominent (10%) with the owner cultivators. The significant factors influencing the sugarcane productivity level of the owner cultivators were education (1%), fertilizers (5%), land size (5%), farm labor (5%), and irrigation (1%). while for the tenant cultivator, household size (5%), fertilizers (5%), land size (5%), farm labor (5%), and irrigation (1%) were the significant factors influencing productivity level. The dummy variable signifying farmer's tenancy status were the significant factors influencing productivity level. The Chow test confirmed differences in sugarcane productivity between owner and tenant cultivators. The Chow test confirmed differences in risk attitude between farmers with insurance and farmers without insurance.
