| dc.description.abstract | An assessment of Ndiwa and Chamazi farmer’s perceptions on land tenure systems in crop
production was conducted in Shashui, Nkukai, Lunguza and Kivingo villages located in
Lushoto District, Tanga region. The main objective of the research was to investigate
perceptions on land tenure systems in crop production among farmers engaged in Ndiwa
and Chamazi traditional irrigation farming. Primary data were collected using household
surveys, interviews and focus group discussions. Analysis involved descriptive statistics for
quantitative data, content analysis for qualitative data and the use of index. The study
results revealed that Ndiwa and Chamazi farmers had a positive perception on the existing
land tenure systems on issues related to social status and increase market and value of
land. However, their perception on cost of titling, access to formal credit and protection of
vulnerable group were higher for statutory land tenure than that of customary land tenure
system. Although statutory land tenure was observed to be more important for irrigation
development, still very few farmers had title deeds due to high cost of titling, lack of
awareness on the procedures among farmers and long distance of relevant offices. The
study thus recommends, increase awareness campaigns on procedures and advantages of
formalizing land, reviewing the procedures and the cost of land registration especially in
rural areas, and relevant authorities in local and central government to bring their
services close to the people especially in rural areas. In addition, Financial Institution
should review the requirement for rural farmers to acquire loans using their farm land as
collateral. | en_US |
