The study's findings showed that the majority of respondents had average agricultural land holdings per hectare for small-scale operations of 1.57 hectare, 2.60 hectare for medium-scale operations, and 12.46 hectare for large-scale operations, which together made up an average sample of 4.29 hectare. Farm families' average sizes in the categories of small, medium, and large farms were 4.89, 5.15, and 5.66, respectively. For groups of farms of various sizes, the average sample proportion of males and females was 46.89% and 44.79%, respectively. The age composition of farms of various sizes with the highest average sample percentage is comprised of individuals under the age of 29 (52.12%), followed by those between the ages of 30 and 59 (30.95%), and those who are 60 years and over (7.79%). The percentage of literate farmers was highest in small-scale farms (25.97%), followed by medium-scale farms (23.50%), and lowest in large-scale farms (22.44%).
