The study was aimed at determining women farmers’ agricultural information needs and accessibility,
using Apa local government area of Benue State as a case study. A sample size of 70 women farmers
was initially taken for the study but only data for 65 respondents were analyzed. Simple random
sampling technique was used for the sample selection and questionnaire was used to elicit information
from the respondents. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The result
showed highest information needs in the areas of pesticides and fertilizer applications and improved
farm implements. Husbands, fellow women and mass media were the main sources of agricultural
information to women farmers and accessibility of information from these sources was relatively high.
Age, educational level and income of women farmers showed significant relationships with their
accessibility to agricultural information at 5% level of significance. It is recommended that enough
information should be provided in the needed areas and women adult literacy and economic
empowerment programmes should be given serious attention to enhance their access to needed
agricultural information
