This study evaluated the farm productivity and returns from
different classes of land size holdings in Imo State, Nigeria. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select 75 farmers for
the study. Information was elicited from the sampled respondents
through a structured questionnaire and interview schedule. Data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics, partial productivity index
of land, and net returns model. The socio-economic features of the
farmers reveal a mean age of 58 years, 12 years educational
attainment, 5 persons per household, 15 years farming experience,
and a mean farm size of 1.07ha. The total returns from these zones
showed that Owerri zone recorded the highest total returns of
N290,878.2/ha with a land productivity of N49,258/ha which is
higher when compared to other zones. Orlu zone had a total return
of N227,227.4/ha with a land productivity of N45,454.6/ha and
while Okigwe zone showed least returns of N197,553.1/ha with a
land productivity of N39,510.63/ha. This implies that farmers in
Owerri zone efficiently utilize the resources available to them which
resulted to higher outputs and productivity relative to other two
zones. The result further indicated that Owerri zone had the
highest net returns of N73,628 followed by Orlu, N65,140 while
Okigwe zone had the least returns of N52,390. Hence farmers in
the area are encouraged to adopt good land management techniques,
