The production of vegetable during the dry season often takes place in the fadama which is the
prominent medium not only among the farmers but also unemployed youths turned famers. This study has
examined constraints militating against fadama vegetable production in Oyo State, Nigeria. It has also examined
involvement of male and female in the production activities. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted
to sample and administer questionnaires to 73 respondents in the study area. Data were collected and analyzed
using descriptive and inferential statistics. The unavailability of credit sources, high cost of inputs (52.1%) ,
irregular fuel supply (24.7%), frequent pump break down (24.7%), irregularities in water pump operation (16.7%)
and maintenance of the pump (9.6%) were constraints against capital use in the study area. The major
constraints against labour use were the inability to hire labour. The result of the T- test analysis showed that
almost all the activities considered in the study are male dominated. Activities such as land clearing (67%),
Bedding (66%), planting (54%), watering (46%) and digging of well (69%) were male dominated. It is
recommended that there should be provision of credit facilities and initial take off capital for both male and
female for the production of vegetable during the dry season. This will enable them to benefit from the high
profit usually realized in vegetable production during the period.
