The study assessed sex-based barriers and drivers of access to agricultural resources in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A total of 120 farmers (60 males and 60 females) were surveyed using structured questionnaires. Frequencies, means, standard deviation, t-tests, and logistic regression were employed for data analysis. Results revealed that male farmers had higher access to key resources such as land ($\bar{x}$ =3.61), credit ($\bar{x}$ =3.15), and extension services ($\bar{x}$ =3.18), compared to female farmers, who recorded lower access levels (land $\bar{x}$ =2.52; credit $\bar{x}$ =2.35). In terms of perceived constraints, male farmers cited inadequate finance ($\bar{x}$ =3.15) as a major limitation, while female farmers highlighted discriminatory social norms ($\bar{x}$ =3.20) and lack of access to credit ($\bar{x}$ =3.10). Socio-economic characteristics influencing access showed that education and cooperative membership significantly affected access for males (p=0.041 and p=0.012), while age and cooperative membership were significant for females (p=0.023 and p=0.008). The hypothesis confirmed a significant difference in overall access levels between male and female farmers (t=4.812, p=0.001). The study concludes that gender disparities persist in agricultural resource access. Strengthening women’s cooperative membership, reducing socio-cultural barriers, and improving access to land and finance are recommended to promote gender equity in agricultural development.
