Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is an underutilized tree crop with significant economic and nutritional potential in Nigeria. Processing activities surrounding tamarind contribute to rural livelihoods through income generation, employment creation, and value addition. However, limited empirical information exists regarding the socioeconomic characteristics of actors involved in tamarind processing and Marketing. This study analyzed the socio-economic profile of tamarind processors and marketers in selected states of Nigeria. Primary data were collected from tamarind processors through a structured questionnaire administered to respondents in Kano, Kaduna, and Nasarawa States. Descriptive statistical tools such as frequency distribution, percentages, and mean values were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the majority of processors were male and within the economically active age group, with moderate household sizes and varying levels of educational attainment. Most processors had several years of processing experience but operated at small-scale levels with limited access to credit and modern processing facilities. The study concludes that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in shaping the participation and productivity of tamarind processors. It recommends improved access to credit, training on improved processing techniques, and strengthening of cooperative associations to enhance productivity and income among tamarind processors.
