This follow a saying that, train a girl child and emancipate a Nation, if women or girls are well trained for commercial production purpose, a better livelihood and inclusive economic growth would be guaranteed, this is not because of their diligence but for their doggedness. A well-researched technique of production is necessary to replace the crude method inherited from older generation to enhance better productive delivery. In line with this assertion, this study empirically unleashed the willingness of women and girls in crude production of locust bean in the North-Central region of Nigeria to accept modern and more improved technique of production. This is made possible by using data collected from structured questionnaires and using both descriptive and analytical method of analysis.
