Specifically, to describe the socio economic characteristics; marketing practices and experience and costs and returns of garri marketers in the study area. Simple random sampling techniques was used to select representative samples with a total of 120 respondents.

The result on cost and returns revealed that Total revenue was N43, 200, 000 and Total cost was N 35,130,058 with a Gross margin of N8,674, 300 and Net Profit of N 8,069,942 per Month. The benefit cost ratio is N1.23 since BCR is greater than 1, this implies that garri marketing is very profitable. The result on the constraints showed that fluctuation in price (40.83%) is the most serious problem facing garri marketing in the study area due to season of the year.
