This paper assessed the economic impact of improved agricultural technologies on
cassava productivity in Kogi State, Nigeria. The results are drawn from a household survey
covering the agricultural season of 2009/2010. The data obtained from interview schedule
was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics for this
study include frequency, percentages and means. The hypothesis was tested using chisquare.
The result shows that 79.33% of the respondents adopt the use of improved variety
within the period under study. The analysis done on the revenue of the respondents before
and after the adoption of the improved agricultural technology shows that revenue of
farmers after the adoption of innovations are better off than revenue generated before
adoption by N27,750 on the average per farmer. This result shows that the impact of
improved agricultural technologies on cassava productivity is positive. Additionally, the
results attest to the importance of increasing agricultural productivity in tandem with
improvements on the adoption and use of improved agricultural technologies and its
availability to the reach of farmers with the farmers’ ability to store food. This findings is
consistence with Idachaba and Ayoola, (1995) who observed that improved agricultural
helped in increasing agricultural productivity.
