This book titled 'Off-farm Work in Nigeria: Perspective of Small-scale Farmers' was borne out of concern for small-scale farmers who account largely for the food need of the populace. Nigeria's rural area is dominated by low income and resource-poor farmers. Formal financial services are almost completely inaccessible by these farmers. In order to mitigate persistent financial constraint, small-scale farmers take advantage of business opportunities in the non-farm sector of the rural economy.
