Productivity simply means the level of efficiency of work especially in industrial production. Increased productivity will improve the conditions of the environment as well as to enhance security.

This why David Ricardo stated in his study of population “that food needs to grow at a geometric progression in order to meet the demand of the growing population this emphasized the need for increased productivity

Yesufu (1962) was of the view that productivity can be defined as the ratio between output and all the resources used in production i.e. capital, labour, raw materials etc. The problem of raising out put demands for efficient use of all available resources.
