      abstract = {This paper investigated the extent of knowledge sharing by  cocoa FFS graduates farmers in Edo State with other cocoa  farmers. The objectives of the study included to: ascertain  the extent of knowledge sharing by FFS farmers, the nature  of knowledge shared and the number of beneficiaries from  the shared knowledge. A multistage sampling procedure was  used to collect data from 68 respondents. A well structured  questionnaire was used for data collection. Simple  descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages)  and logit regression were used to analyze the data. The  results of the study showed that there was no significant  sharing of knowledge by the FFS farmers with other farmers  as only 13(19.1%) FFS farmers were involved in knowledge  sharing. The logit regression result showed that all the  socio-economic variables except household size and farm  size were insignificant in influencing the FFS farmers’  knowledge sharing abilities. From the findings of the  study, it was therefore recommended that FFS graduate  farmers should be encouraged to sign knowledge sharing  contract, to organize field day and the need for FFS  facilitators to monitor the graduates to ensure that the  contractual agreement is adhered to should be stressed.},
