The average treatment effect on the treated, the average effect of the treatment, and the average treatment on the untreated shows that contract farming will enhance the income from Maize production by ₦۵۰۲۳۴.۸ ($۱۳۱.۷۹)/hectare, ₦۳۷۱۷۰.۸ ($۹۷.۵۳)/hectare, and ₦۲۸۸۰۹.۸ ($۷۵.۵۹)/hectare respectively.
