Economic analysis of agricultural production and labour utilisation among the Hausa in the north of Nigeria

Three Moslem villages were selected: Hanwa, which borders on Zaria itself, Doka, and Dan Mahawayi. The results of the study were derived from 42 farming families in Dan Mahawayi and 62 families in the other 2 villages. Data were secured on land and labor; seasonality of farming and off-farm occupations; farm capital goods and cash expenses; acres, yields and location of food and cash crops; composition of farm and family income; and comparative statistics for large and small farms in the three villages.
