dc.description.abstractThe study was undertaken to investigate the content of label information which food processors, soap and cream and garment makers in Akwa Ibom State display on their goods. The influence of variables like educational achievement, job experience, business size and type on the labelling practices of these producers was also investigated Producers in the study were drawn from the registers of Ministry of Trade and industries, Better Life Centres, National Association of Small Scale Industrialists and Rural Development Centres through stratified random selection techniques. Consumers were selected through random procedure. Information was collected from the 780 consumers and 76 producers through the use of pre-tested questionnaires. Data so got were analysed using frequency distribution and associated percentages. The results showed that label information most often displayed was the brand on all categories of goods. Other aspects of label information like content, usage and care directives, life span where applicable, caution producers' identity were minimally displayed. It was also evident that food processors showed higher sense of commitment to labelling than other groups of producers. Some producers did not seem to realize the need for comprehensive label information on consumer goods. In addition, it was shown that labels for consumer goods were designed by people who did not understand requirements for good labels. Certain variables were shown to influence labelling standards of these producers. In the case of food processors, long years of experience contributed positively to provision of comprehensive label information. Medium scale ventures also gave more information than small scale; while corporate ventures provided more information than proprietory ones. Level of education was not shown to exert positive influence on food producers. In the area of garment production, neither level of education nor years of experience was shown to positively influence producers' labelling practices. country to the practices of food processors, small scale end proprietory ventures provided more information than medium scale and corporate business. For soap and cream makers, neither long years of job experience nor level of education had positve experience on standard of labelling. Like garment makers, medium scale and corporate ventures provided more label information than either small scale or proprietory ones. On the basis of these findings some appropriate recommendations were made.en_US
