Participating in the indigenous chicken (IC) market enables farmers to generate income and alleviate household food insecurity. The objectives of the study were to profile the socio-economic characteristics of smallholder farmers and determine the factors influencing smallholder farmer participation in the IC market. The study employed purposive and snowball sampling techniques to identify 50 indigenous chicken farmers in the Dihlabaneng village, Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality, Limpopo Province of South Africa. Descriptive statistics and Binary Logistic regression model were employed to meet the objectives of the study. Moreover, experience in rearing chickens, land size and number of chickens owned were determined to be the factors influencing farmer participation in the IC market. The study also confirmed that female farmers dominate the IC market when compared to males. This calls for government intervention to be taken in promoting IC markets to encourage greater farmer participation, enabling the improvement of the livelihoods of rural communities.
