Socio-economic benefits and challenges confronting oil palm production among indigenous rural farmers in Karonga district, Malawi by Noel Mweta, Alex Somuah Obeng, John Windie Ansah

“…Again, the Pearson correlation analysis between acres of land cultivated and benefits from oil palm production revealed −0.195 with a sig value of 0.000, signifying that as more acres of land farmers cultivate, benefits tend to reduce moderately. The researchers therefore recommended that the Malawi Ministry of Agriculture should collaborate with other stakeholders in the agriculture sector, including financial institutions and the manufacturing industry, in the provision of extension services as a means of information access, creating the market, and providing credits to indigenous rural farmers so that they can invest and buy equipment necessary for this agricultural activity.…”
