Abstract

Fertilizer is becoming a big subject among small farmers. Due to a lack of fertilizers, small-scale farmers have been obliged to purchase both subsidized and unsubsidized fertilizers. This issue has effects on farmers’ decisions to purchase fertilizers that are subsidized or not. This study intends to examine how small farmers choose between buying fertilizers that are subsidized and those that are not. This study used 30 farmers who used subsidized fertilizers and 30 farmers who used non-subsidized fertilizers. Logistic regression analysis is used in this investigation. The findings revealed that factors influencing the purchasing decisions and use of small-scale farmers’ fertilizers are education, farming experience, production, farmer income, ease of obtaining, and affordability. Small-scale farmers tend to buy subsidized fertilizers compared to non-subsidized fertilizers.
