Cocoa growing in West Africa has historically been dependent on the use of beans from “good-looking” open-pollinated pods in farmers’ field; majority of whose yield, pest and disease tolerance/resistance are scientifically unproven. The low hectarage productivity of 0.3 – 0.5 tonnes/ha from individual farms across Nigeria has poorly supported the national cocoa production. Hybrid cocoa pods have very high breeding value for yield and other economic traits, their use for mass cultivation will increase cocoa productivity. Cocoa seed garden are hectares of established known parental clones of cocoa with an aim of generating hybrid pods through controlled cross pollination. Cocoa Seed garden sites are in fourteen states of Nigeria, Ondo state has the largest cumulative hectarage. By principle, the process of Cocoa Seed Garden entails, selection of parental stocks based on the result from routine test for combining ability among parents within the germplasm, clonal seedling production of selected parents, patterned field establishment of the parental clones and hand pollination of parents to generate hybrid pods. Details of the principle are well discussed and information on the effective Cocoa Seed garden sites in Nigeria is provided

carried out on effect of climate change on cocoa production in Ondo State, Nigeria. It specifically identified the socio-economic characteristics, examined the coping strategies adopted by the farmers in adjusting to these problems, determined the factors affecting the coping strategies adopted by the farmers in adapting to climate change, examined the rainfall and  temperature patterns of the study area within the period of 1992 – 2012 and analyzed the effects of some climatic variables on cocoa production within the period of 1992-2012. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to obtain data from 180 cocoa farmers that were purposively selected from 3 Local Government Areas in Ondo State being the highest producers it the State, these are; Ondo East, Akure South and Idanre LGA. Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Trend Analysis, Multiple Regression Model and Tobit Regression Modelwere used to analyze the data. About 62% of the cocoa farmers interviewed observed noticeable changes in temperature while 70% and 51% of the farmers reported increased changes in rainfall and sunlight respectively. Among the most prevalent climate change problems reported among cocoa farmers in the study area were; high incidence of black pod disease (80%), death of cocoa trees (75%), increase malaria incidence (65%),reduction in cocoa yield (63%) and inability to dry cocoa pods (61%). The trend analysis of cocoa production in the study area revealed that there was a sharp decrease in the volume of cocoa produced from 1992-2000while fluctuatingoccurrenceswere witnessed in the volume of cocoa produced till 2012. Also, there was variability in the rainfall, relative humidity and temperature patterns examined within the period under the study. The major coping strategies employed by the cocoa farmers in the study area were; use of chemicals (75%), mulching and planting trees (69%) different planting date (63%), monitoring weather (61%) and crop diversification (58%)while factors influencing coping strategies adoption by the cocoa farmers in the study were; level of education, farm size, access to extension service and farming experience.

Rural Urban Migration

The study was conducted to examine the effect of rural urban migration on labour supply in cocoa production. Data were collected from one hundred farmers in Ondo East Local Government area of Ondo state. Five villages were selected from which twenty respondents were randomly selected making a total of 100. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis used for analysis of data. The study revealed that people migrate for social, educational and economic reasons. Based on this, the study recommends that rural areas should be developed so as to make it more habitable for the rural people as this will discourage emigration.
