Abstract

Several models are selected using model selection loglinear analysis on data collected from farmers in the Mankweng District in Northern Province. The objective is to determine patterns of associations among production increasing factors, namely, use of recommended technologies, participation in a cooperative or project, accessibility of inputs in time, security of land ownership, as well as ability to run own finance. The results reveal that participation in a project and the use of technology are always associated. Only land tenure model resulted in a significant saturated model, where a three way association with both technology and project participation had significant effects. Access to input on time was only associated with technology use, but not with participation in a project. The ability to run own finances was associated with project participation, but not with technology use. The dynamic relationships among these factors are important when introducing technologies and support services for the future.
