This study explores the perceived impacts of oil spill incidents on cassava production in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria, specifically focusing on the perception of local communities and farmers on the environmental impact of oil spills inherent in cassava production. Utilizing a correlation research design method, the study employs the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) technique and purpose sampling to investigate how these perceived environmental impacts correlate with various issues experienced by farmers and affected communities. The research focuses on understanding the relationship between oil spill occurrences and their effects on cassava cultivation, including soil contamination, yield reduction, and disruptions to farming activities. Data were collected through structured surveys and interviews, which were then analyzed to uncover patterns and trends in the perceived environmental impacts of oil spills. The findings from the correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between the frequency of oil spills and negative environmental outcomes such as soil degradation and reduced cassava yields.
