Abstract

ABSTRACT The SDG-2 action plan is predicated on eradicating poverty and hunger, globally. It underpins the significance of agriculture – a source of raw materials, sustenance and income for many. Notably, transportation is a crucial part of distribution and pertinent to the success of agriculture. Herein, problems associated with transporting agricultural produce in rural areas are examined; with Esan-West Local Government Area (Edo State, Nigeria) as a case study. It evaluated the mode of transportation and concomitant effects on the market and distribution of produces. Two hundred questionnaires were analyzed and two hypotheses tested, using Pearson’s product–moment correlation and Likert scale. The data indicate that the transportation of agricultural products is significantly constrained and impacts on development and sustainability.
