Kofar Durbi and Gidan Ambassador. Fifty structured questionnaires
were randomly administered and the data generated were carefully
analyzed using simple descriptive statistics (frequencies and
percentages), farm budgeting, gross margin and cob- Douglass
production function. Result obtained showed that potatoes
production is profitable in the study area with a gross margin of #
1,159,020 and net farm income of #1,057,115.The result obtained

fertilizer, seed and chemicals were found to have positive

fertilizer are over utilized while labor, seed and chemicals are
underutilized.
