Olubunmi Omotesho, Adewale Adenuga, Nurudeen Suleiman, Ivie Loretta Olaghere.


Abstract
Smoking is the most affordable and widely used fish preservation technique in Nigeria and in a host of other African countries. However, the traditional fish smoking technique is not only prone to health risk, but its efficacy is also often constrained by a lack of control over temperature and smoke density. In a bid to overcome these challenges, the Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI), Nigeria recently developed a smoking kiln technology. The focus of this research is to compare the sensory parameters and the overall acceptability of smoked catfish using the NSPRI smoking kiln technology and the traditionally smoked catfish. Specifically, the cost and returns associated with the use of the NSPRI smoking kiln technology for catfish processing is estimated. The willingness to pay as well as factors influencing willingness to pay for the NSPRI smoking kiln technology were also analyzed. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Budgeting technique and Logistic regression analysis were the main analytical tools employed in the study. The results of the analyses revealed that smoked catfish processed with NSPRI smoking kiln was the most preferred among the samples. Findings also revealed household size, experience, educational level of the processor and income per processing were the main factors influencing the willingness to pay for the NSPRI smoking kiln technology.

Key words: Fish; NSPRI; Smoking kiln; Willingness to pay; Logistic regression
