crossed.

were having. this create a real pies sure on time because the researcher was also
preparing for other class activities
such as submission of assignment, preparation for test and exams e.t.c all of
which are time consuming and this makes
it difficult for the researcher to devote
an extra time in doing research work.
Another
constraint that was encountered arose from raisins fund to finance the project
is was so difficult to transport do Delta, State because of the inflated price
on transportation.
Another,
constraint was being unable to get information. this was very difficult text
because people are not willing to give out information most especially when
it re4lates to production.; this is
because, they fell that you are acting as a spiel to their company. This now
increase the financial stress since the researcher now have to travel down mote
that the budgeted number of times he was suppose to travel to e the information
in addition to that, a nonchalant attitude was put by the workers as result of
their willingness to answer the questionnaires most especially in the aspect of
age.
