Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine how cooperative aid affects farmers’ productivity in Anambra State after flooding incidents. Even with climate change making floods more frequent, the government’s reaction is frequently insufficient, requiring the creation of new support systems. During flood catastrophes, agricultural cooperatives such as the Anambra State Fishermen Cooperative Society (ASFCS) and the Anambra State Agricultural Cooperatives Multipurpose Union (ASACMU) have been instrumental in delivering relief efforts. By doing this study, we hope to close the knowledge gap about how well cooperative aids can reduce the negative effects of flooding on farmers’ yields. Using a mixed-methods approach, 370 farmers were randomly chosen from 118 cooperatives to provide quantitative data, while group interactions provided qualitative insights. The results show that farmers’ productivity and different types of cooperative aid have a substantial positive association. Grain and monetary assistance. Farmers’ post-flood productivity is positively impacted by resource sharing of agricultural inputs, material aid, training and education, extension information, infrastructure development, and government action. These results highlight how crucial cooperative assistance is to raising farmers’ output and resilience in the wake of flood disasters. Among the suggestions include promoting the creation of cooperatives, giving prompt assistance from governmental and non-governmental organizations top priority, enhancing access to agriculture supplies and other necessities, and developing training initiatives that specifically address post-flood issues. In Anambra State, putting these suggestions into practice can improve farmers’ resilience and lessen the effects of flooding. In general, this research advances knowledge of the vital role that cooperative aids play in encouraging resilient farming methods and sustainable agricultural practices among farmers in flood-prone areas such as Anambra State.
