Abstract:
Every activity is decision-based and require serious processing if qualitative result is to be attained. However, in many cases, the choice is intuitive and thereafter hazardous with unpredictable consequences. On the other side, the operational research domain has produced many methods that could be adequately used in these situations. Using these methods will facilitate the decision making activity by considering specific Agric inputs situation. Many developing countries lack the means of maintaining high quality agricultural statistics collection. Consequently official statistics suffer from a lack of precision and reliability. One major contribution of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is its focus on overcoming these drawbacks. The understanding of how, when, or which of these methods could be used in Agric inputs problem is the focus of this study. This paper describes how multicriteria methods could be applied to consider solving the agric inputs problem using this method of solution
