The results showed that as many as 73.19% of buffalo farmers were in productive age and had a low level of education.

The farmers’ ability to access the information was in a low category (51.92%), their ability to access financial loans from the banks was in a low category (91.355%) and their ability to reach the government aid was in the medium category (56.73%). To sum up, the farmers’ age, the level of education, and the length of being buffalo farmers have a weak relationship with their abilities to access the information, fund capital, and government aid funds.
