Policies designed and implemented for the agricultural sector could be an influencing factor to the variations in the contributions of agriculture to the annual national GDP. These policies are believed to have shaped and (some) still shaping the landscape of agriculture and national economy.

The study adopted mixed-method approach. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered on 29 purposively sample
