Results have shown that adoption index and household size are positively related to total revenue at a 1% level of significance, which indicated a strong influence of the adoption of foreign farmers’ technology on the income of local farmers. It was concluded that it is a positive spillover effect of the presence of foreign farmers concerning the technological transfer, increased output with its positive effect on poverty far outweighs the displacement of farmlands.
