Abstract :
According to the study, a 10% reduction in transportation
and waiting time costs could result in a 10% increase in
agricultural production. The study also observed that
locations sited near highways had a less impact of 10%
productivity decrease than locations away from
metropolitan highways in leading to a 0.5 percent increase
in agricultural output. Tobacco production increased by
133 percent on average (from 7, 720 tonnes to 18, 060
tonnes), with significant changes beginning in the fifth
year after road improvements. The price at the farm gate
increased by $2.00 per tonne. Fieldwork, structured
questionnaires, observation guides, and key informant
interviews were used to acquire information on
agricultural competitiveness and transportation
infrastructure around the world. The data was presented
in an SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)
manner with a heavy emphasis on tables. Rural roads and
transportation services must be enhanced to lower
agricultural input costs, increase access to markets for
agricultural output, and increase access to agricultural
extension services.
