Abstract
This study examined the impacts of conflict on farm resource productivity in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
Data for the study were collected through Multi-stage sampling technique from 114 farmers. Analysis shows that
land area, quantity of fertilizer and planting materials as well as location of community are important determinant of
farm outputs. The location of the community was found to have negative impact on farm outputs. This indicates the
conflict status of a community could influence agricultural output from such community. The farmers were found to
be efficient in the use of only family labour
