The operation of maize markets has been associated with a number of challenges. These challenges have affected maize supply in the markets. Because the adaptation of interrelationships among construct is limited in most of studies especially in Tanzania. This study intended to analyze the maize supply in Kibaigwa maize market using Time Series Techniques and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The study employed retrospective longitudinal research design. Secondary data that were used in the study were collected from Kibaigwa maize market office. The study reveals that there is statistical significance difference (p = 0.037) between the quantity of maize brought to the market and those purchased. This indicates that the market is performing well as farmers are able to sell their maize because of the availability of buyers. It has been found that, quantity of maize arrivals in the market is less than quantity flow out because the market is not recording maize brought to the market by small farmers. Important information such as the number of farmers bringing maize in the market and number of buyers is missing. This study recommends proper data keeping at the market. Moreover, the quantity of maize entered in the market by small scale farmers should also be recorded. |
