This study examined the effectiveness of agricultural protection policy and other macroeconomic variables on food supply, agricultural export, and farmers welfare in Nigeria, from 1980-2016 with a special interest in their relationship with the political economy. The specific objectives were to (i) estimate the degrees of agricultural protection, domestic agricultural food supply and economic welfare to farmers in Nigeria, (ii) determine the effectiveness of agricultural protection on food self-supply, agricultural export; and farmer-welfare. Data were obtained from secondary sources. Descriptive statistics and generalized method of moment (GMM) were used. Nigeria’s self-food supply was slightly above 50% while the rest of the consumption depended on importation. The welfare measure to farmers was relatively poor and not good enough to motivate them. There was a positive and significant relationship between export and agricultural protection. A significant and positive relationship also exists between farmer-welfare and protection in the sector.

This study tries to explore the degree of competition in tobacco Industry in Madura. By doing so, this study examines the competition in all markets of the distributional levels of Madura’s tobacco, from farmer to tobacco’s final user. In addition, for every market of the distributional level, the discussion is focused on the competition among the sellers themselves, the buyers themselves and also the consequences for the sellers and the buyers in terms of price, strategic behavior and profit. Linear “Structure-Conduct-Performance (S-C-P)’ model is being used as the main framework in this study. Additionally, this study uses primary and secondary data. Furthermore, this study shows that in the upstream industry of tobacco, the degree of competition is almost perfect, and as it gets closer to the downstream industry of tobacco the degree of competition is close to monopoly. Hence, the closer  a firm to the upstream industry of tobacco, the profit is less, and as it gets closer to the downstream industry of tobacco, the profit is much higher, as well as its monopoly or market power. In turn, this condition is negatively impacting the tobacco farmer welfare as the upstream firm.
