"The adoption of improved sorghum technologies by smallholder farmers is still low in Tanzania. Many farmers\r\nfail to acquire quality inputs due to different underlying reasons. This article analyzes factors underlining the\r\nadoption of improved technologies among sorghum farmers in Tanzania and evaluates profitability of grain\r\nproduction. A total of 212 individual farmers were interviewed through structured questionnaires from nine\r\ndistricts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, probit regression model and gross margin analysis.\r\nResults show that 39.2%, 26.5%, 16.9%, 8.4% and 7.2% of sorghum farmers adopted seeds of improved\r\nvarieties, insecticides, inorganic fertilizers, threshing machine and optimum seed rate, respectively. Probit\r\nestimates indicated that age, sex, number of years in school, group membership, farm size, availability of free\r\nseeds, seed accessibility, grain market accessibility and grain market price were the significant factors\r\ninfluencing adoption of these technologies. Adopters obtained higher profitability (822,288 Tshs/ha) than\r\nnon-adopters (374,363 Tshs/ha) of improved varieties. Further policy actions are needed to improve determinants\r\nof adoption, breeding technologies and accessibility of agricultural inputs to ensure benefits to farmers and the\r\nsorghum sub-sector."^^ .
