Income distribution among farmers in Northern Nigeria: empirical results and policy implications. - Michigan : Dept. of Agr. Economics, 1979.

African Rural Economy Paper No. 18.

This paper is intended to provide Nigerian planners with a better understanding of who constitutes the rural poor, what are their sources of income and why they remain in poverty. It is a case study of the distribution and structure of personal income within an essentially traditional society characterised by low population pressure and by a production system experincing the first stages of technological change.
