Abstract
One of the goals of any government policies is to maintain an adequate rural infrastructure. This is necessary because of the significance of rural environment, especially in Nigeria since bulk of the food produced come from the rural farmers. This study therefore analyses the infrastructural profile and poverty status of farming households in Edu local government of Kwara state. 120 questionnaires were administered to farm family heads. Descriptive statistics, infrastructural index and simultaneous equation models were used to analyze the data collected. The One Sample T-Test revealed that there is significant difference between the levels of infrastructural development among the farming communities. It is therefore recommended that adequate infrastructural facilities should be readily available for the rural dwellers to improve their agricultural productivity with the resultant effect on poverty reduction
