1.2 Statement of Problem
Bankruptcy has often plagued
the poultry sector and has reduce the number of functional poultry
farms and their contribution to national development. The Nigerian
government has focused its attention on the bailout of the ailing
poultry farms and make them resilient to disruptions. With the aim of
contributing to national objective of resilience- building of poultry
farms, this study investigates the determination of resilience of
broiler farms in Delta state, Nigeria. Determination of firm’s
resilience status is the starting stage of bailout mechanism for the
ailing poultry farms. Poultry (broiler) agribusiness survival depends on
financial and non financial attributes of the poultry farms. Some
entrepreneurs lack the relevant knowledge of factors that cause business
failure or lack the required knowledge of business resilience
indicators for absorbing shocks or disruptions when they occur. Dealing
with these attributes will require the analysis of domains of
resilience. The essence to situate the sources of resilience capacity of
poultry farms and how it can be enhanced for poultry sector
development. However, an empirical study of the resilience status of
poultry (broiler) farms is yet to be done in Delta state despite its
contribution to economic development. As it stands, estimate model of
resilience index has not been derived or developed to evaluate the
continuous existence or sustainability of poultry farms. There is need
for concerted efforts to determine the resilience status of the poultry
(broiler) farms and associated factors.
The study was designed to provide answers to the following research questions.
(i) What is the resilience index for broiler farms Delta state?
(ii) What is the resilience status of the broiler farms in Delta state?
(iii) What is the proportion of resilient and non resilient broiler farms in the study area?
(iv) What are the financial factors underpinning resilience of broiler farms?
(v) What are the non financial factors underpinning resilience of broiler farms?
