摘要：
A study was carried out to assess available resources for mechanized farming in two urban areas of Enugu state of Nigeria. The two urban areas used for this study in Enugu state of Nigeria are Enugu and Nsukka. Investigative survey approach using questionnaire was used to carry out the study. Results obtained showed that the basic resources such as land, water and power needed for mechanized farming are grossly inadequate in the two urban areas. This resulted to near absence of mechanization in these two urban areas. Tractor services are almost nonexistent, the average farm size is less than 0.1 ha and the major source of water is rain. Governments are advised to make new and bold efforts to formulate policies and develop programmes that will improve operations in the sector. © 2017 Farm Machinery Industrial Research Corp.
