ABSTRACT

This study highlighted the impact of transportation cost on marketing of yam in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State with the specific objective of describing the socioeconomic characteristics of the Yam marketers, describe the cost and return structure of yam marketing, estimate the marketing margin as well as established the impact of transportation on overall market performance of the enterprise. Data were collected randomly from a pool of Yam marketers and analyzed using descriptive statistics and gross margin economic model. Majority of the Yam  marketers (90%) were females; 54% of the respondents were aged between 40-45years; 63% were married; reasons for high transportation cost was attributed to bad roads (100%); high cost of vehicle maintenance (95%); cost return analysis showed that transportation cost for both vehicle and wheelbarrow account for 10.91% of total variable cost which was highest on the cost outlay excepting cost of Yam purchased (72.73%); gross margin was N40,000 while net income stood at N27,000. The conclusion confirmed apriori expectation that transportation cost would have a high incidence outcome on Yam marketing in the study area. It was recommended that government should wake up to its responsibility of rapid road maintenance across the country in order to stem down high cost of transportation on agricultural produce
