This study assessed the factors that influence productivity among cassava women farmers in Benue State, Nigeria. For the study, 87 cassava producing women farmers were selected across Benue State Agricultural producing zones and interviewed. Data analysis was through descriptive statistics and the ordinary least square techniques. The study findings revealed that farming experience, years of education, the use of improved cassava stem cuttings and access to credit significantly influenced the productivity levels of cassava women farmers in the study area. . Respondents identified poor pricing of output, lack of credit, poor soils, processing problems, lack of good market infrastructure, labour supply problems, and high transport costs as factors militating against successful cassava production in the study area. Therefore, to increase crop yields on cassava farms, the study recommends the enhancement of farmers’ access to education, improved cassava varieties, education on the proper use of credit and the need for smaller family sizes.
