Papers by Beshel Cecillia Akpana
in terms of increased food production, poverty reduction, increase in level of income, availability of food
and improved standard of living. Ex-post facto design was used for the study. The questionnaire was the
only instrument used for the study. The split-half reliability was used to ascertain the reliability of the
instrument. The population for the study was 8,190 out of which a 10% sample was drawn for the study
giving a total of 819 women cooperators, from 80 women Agricultural Cooperatives across the state. After
the administration of the instrument only 800 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and used given a
working sample of 800. Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient was the statistical instrument used
for analysis. The result reveals that, indeed there is a positive significant relationship between women's’
participation in Agricultural cooperative activities and rural development in all the indices used. It was
therefore recommended that women in the rural areas should embrace and join the different cooperative
types operating in their rural communities in order to reduce incidences of abject poverty, hunger and
improve their standard of living and self-worth.
