Abstract
This study investigated the influence of the FADAMA III programme on agricultural productivity
in the Southern Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Using Structural-Functional
Theory, the research assessed how the programme functions within the agricultural system to
enhance food production and rural development. A descriptive and survey research design was
employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to 384 respondents
across Eket, Ikot Abasi and Mbo Local Government Areas. Two hypotheses guided the study,
focusing on the programme’s effectiveness and farmers’ access to improved farming practices.
Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, one-sample t-tests and Spearman’s Rho
correlation. Findings showed that inadequate access to modern farming techniques posed a major
constraint on productivity, while the FADAMA III programme did not significantly improve food
output in the area. The study recommends improved access to modern agricultural technologies
and more effective implementation of rural development initiatives
