This study examined the economic impact of tea production on household livelihoods and community development in the area. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and field observations, while secondary data were sourced from academic journals, government reports, and institutional publications. Using descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis, the study established a strong correlation between tea production and income generation, employment creation, and rural economic growth. Findings revealed that tea farming and processing serve as a major source of livelihood for households, with over 49% of respondents earning above 50,000 monthly from tea-related activities. Moreover, 89% of respondents affirmed that tea production provides both direct and indirect employment opportunities, thereby reducing rural unemployment. Despite these benefits, challenges such as inadequate access to credit, poor infrastructure, price instability, and limited extension services hinder optimal productivity. The study concludes that tea production plays a crucial role in driving local economic transformation in Maisamari, but its potential remains underutilized. It recommends improved access to financing, better road infrastructure, enhanced extension services, and stronger public-private partnerships to maximize the socio-economic benefits of tea production in Taraba State. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Sugar contents in three different soft drinks (Lacasera, Sprite, Schweppes)»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Physico-chemical assessment of soil sample from Igbagu reserve forest in Ebonyi State»Qualitative production of biodiesel using neem seed oil»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
