dc.description.abstractThe importance of tomatoes in supplementing vitamins A and C deficiencies in most of the developing countries can not be overemphasised. A crucial role it plays in the economies of most developing countries can be looked at in terms of rural employment, source of raw material for industries and source of food for the people. The specific problem is that of lack of information for economic evaluation of tomato production under the small scale irrigation in Bomo Village. The thesis describes the small scale surface irrigation farming system in Bomo with respect to resource use, existing production method and output. It also determines the net farm incoeme from tomato production and it estimates the input-output relationship of tomato enterprise under the irrigation system. Thirty farmers were interviewed in the study area. The farm budget model was used to determine the net farm income and the production function model was used in estimating the input-output relationship. The Results showed that inputs were relevant in explaining the variations in the output. The marginal value product of fertilizer and irrigation labour were higher than their marginal factor costs; while the marginal value product of family labour was less than its marginal factor cost. This implies that less of irrigation labour and fertilizer were used than required at the optimum profit point. The increase in the use of irrigation labour input will therefore result in attainment of higher output in the study area. The farm budgeten_US
