CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Food production is
geographically disposed and it is not an easy work, like food production
centers with the production center.
The Nigerian food
industry for example depends on the distribution of food it produces.
Most of the food produced cannot get to the market due to the acute road
network difficulties that will serve the food industry. Food production
therefore depend upon road network for the creation and preservation of
their values. The effect and the importance of road was critically
investigated in this study with a particular product in Njikoka Anambra
State Nigeria.
Food production is one of the priority facing
most of the world’s people today. It is also a problem that may worsen
rapidly in the years ahead.
According to the Food
Agricultural Organization (FAO), food production of the developing
countries will increase by a staggering 125% by 2010. On the other hand,
problems relating to rural penetration have contributed to wooing the
world and particular Nigeria Agriculture.
It is because of
the above problems that the government must intensify efforts to improve
the road networks especially in the rural areas.
Collection and
individual efforts should be directed towards fighting a war against
hunger and the provision of road network to allocate the agricultural
products. Investment decision in agricultural policy can help to ensure
supply of additional food and its distribution to consumers.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Since the early years of man, agriculture and road network have always
co-existed together due to the source of food and other economics
products must be accessible for the collection distribution to market
port and factories.
It is important that adequate and effective road
network should be introduced or encouraged to achieve the modern food
selling system objectives. Transportation is therefore to serve as a
means of marketing goods. In Njikoka Anambra State, most of the network
do not pass within the agricultural areas and thereby hinder
agricultural progress. In some rural areas, most of the road network
which passes through agricultural areas from farm to the market places
is often too bad all the years for easy transportation. Most of these
feeders road networks are interfaced narrow, poorly drained that they
prevent easy access to the interlard where the majority of the farmers
are located.
There are also the problems of maintenance,
adequate executive capacity suitable materials and management where the
road networks are in fair conditions.
