Abstract

The study analysed effluent management among medium and large scale agro-allied industries in South west, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling techniques was employed in selecting 287 MLS agro-allied industries (MSAAI=222; LSAAI=65). Data for this study was obtained from primary sources using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive and relevant inferential statistics such as one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s chi-square test and ordinal Probit regression model were used for data analysis. The study revealed a minimum, maximum and average daily end of pipe volume of 430kg, 8000kg and 3084.21kg, respectively, for medium scale agro-allied industries and 520kg, 15,000kg and 3,534.72kg, respectively, for large scale agro-allied industries with an average proportion (53.6% and 49.0%) of medium and large scale agro-allied industries generating between 1001kg and 3000kg of effluent per day during agro-allied industrial processes. The result also indicated the quantity of end-of-pipe effluents recycled to be 436.08kg and 695.54kg for medium and large scale agro-allied industries, respectively which from the independent t-test statistics, there was a significant difference between the mean quantity of effluent recycled by medium scale agro-allied industries in comparison with the mean quantity of effluent recycled by large scale agro-allied industries (t=12.021; p
