      abstract = {The study aimed to examine gender resource accessibility  and profitability among groundnut producers in Hong Local  Government Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Multistage  sampling technique was used to sample 54 respondents (27  male and 27 female) by the use of a structured  questionnaire. The data from the survey were analysed using  frequency distribution and gross margin analysis. The  results showed that the men were generally older and more  experienced than the women with 77.8% and 55.5% of men and  women respectively being over 40 years of age and 51.9% and  37.1% of men and women respectively having farming  experience of over 20 years. The perception of the  respondents was that men had more access to resources and  opportunities that enhance productivity (land, labour,  chemicals, market and education) than women (fertilizer,  seeds, and cooperatives). Gross margin per hectare of men  was N62, 693 while that of women was N37, 732.  It was  recommended that credit provision in cash and kind to women  by Government and other relevant organisations be  encouraged in order to give women improved access to  production resources to increase women’s productivity and  profitability.},
