Abstract

In developing countries, poor agricultural performance is largely responsible for the recurring phenomenon of food insecurity. Crops have low productivity due to many constraints not only socioeconomic but also biotic and abiotic. Research has shown that productivity is influenced by health, and the present study specifically analyzes the impact of malaria on agricultural production of households in the river valley. This article provides the results of a prospective cohort study. A total of 180 households were followed over a period of one year. The study shows that malaria affects the performance of agricultural households. In fact the negative impact of malaria on irrigated production is statically significant (P=0.000) there is a strong negative correlation between malaria and irrigated production (-0.757). In other hand the relative risk (3.17) calculated in the 95% confidence interval (CI) shows the presence of a positive association between catastrophic expenditure and agricultural yield with a value of P (12.10-7) which is significantly lower at 0.001. The average cumulative incidence of malaria in Households and the period during which the sick leave occurred also influences the performance.
