Abstract: This study investigated the impact of gender and migration on agricultural productivity. The result of the study reveals that the most productive age bracket and the more educated ones form the bulk of the migrants. Age, farming experience, education, farm size and labour were important variables influencing the output of the men farmers while age, farming experience, household size and labour were most important factors influencing output of their women counterparts. Migrants� remittances have an insignificant impact on the productivity of the men and women farmers. The test of equality of coefficients of the sample of men and women farmers shows that gender status of the farmers has no significant impact on their productivity.
