摘要：The study was a situational economic analysis of small scale piggery enterprises on income of peasants in south-south and south-east parts of Nigeria. It was informed by the low contribution of pig farming to the livestock production and demands of the country. The specific objectives were to: determine the effect of limited schooling and pig production training on small scale pig farmers’ income in South-South and South-East parts of Nigeria; ascertain the impact of incessant harassment from local government and sanitation officials on small scale pig farmers’ income in South-South and South-East parts of Nigeria; and examine the effect of obnoxious social and religious beliefs against pork consumption on small scale pig farmers income-generation capacities in South-South and South-East parts of Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted in the study. Results reveal that: Limited schooling and pig production training, incessant harassment from local government and sanitation officials and obnoxious social and religious beliefs all have significant negative effect on small scale pig farmers’ production capacity and income in South-South and South-East parts of Nigeria. Keywords: Economic Analysis, Small Scale Piggery, Peasants, Income, Nigeria.
