| description | This study was carried out to determine the factors influencing households' preference for some selected cowpea varieties in Oyo State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected from a total of 250 households from five Local Government Areas (LGAs) using the multistage sampling technique. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multinomial logit regression model. The study revealed that households mostly preferred the Oloyin variety of cowpea and that households mostly used Oloyin for their different cooking. The age of household head, the primary occupation of household head, years of formal education, income, prices of cowpea varieties, aroma during cooking, ability to tolerate weevil infestation and absence of foreign particles influenced households' preference for cowpea varieties. The study recommends that it is necessary for stakeholders and breeding institutions to give attention to the Oloyin variety if the Agricultural Promotion Policy's aim will be achieved. |
