Abstract:

Agribusiness is a fast emerging industrial sector and becomes a most important sector of Indian economy due to boosting up the economy and taking care of global opportunities of trade. Nowadays, agriculture has achieved commercial importance and status is changed from subsistence to commercial farming, import oriented to export oriented, supply driven technology to demand driven technology due to agribusiness sector. Agribusiness is a complex and comprehensive system of industry chain, which is playing a vital role in Indian economy. Generally, Agribusiness is difficult to understand due to its elusive and complex nature while understanding the concept, system, structure, and components of agribusiness is essential to understand the whole agribusiness environment. Agribusiness is made of various sectors like input sector, production sector, processing sector and marketing service sector, in which the main value-added sector concentrated on the post-production sectors. The agribusiness is greatly expanding India's agricultural development and providing a possible choice for modernization of Indian agriculture. The present article is a systematic effort to introduce the structure and subsystem of agribusiness along with the different components of agribusiness system.

Abstract:

Regional development discusses very strategically in the completion of the implementation of national development. The economic development of each region through economic growth, which is at the same time an indicator, provides an overview of where regional economic development in a given period has resulted in an increase in income for the community which increases per capita income. Agribusiness still has a bigger role in Kerinci Regency, because most of the population of Kerinci Regency supports their lives from the agribusiness sector. The strategic role of agribusiness in the economy of Kerinci Regency includes: food providers for the population of Indonesia, foreign exchange earners through exports, providers of industrial raw materials, increased employment and business opportunities, increased regional income, poverty alleviation and drivers of other economic sectors. In fact, a large number of agribusinesses have considerable production value in Kerinci Regency. This study aimed was to: (1) Analyze the types of superior agricultural commodities, and (2). Review the growth structure of agricultural commodities in Kerinci Regency. The design of this study used descriptive research methods that were descriptions of goals. The aim was that the author wanted to analyze the types of superior agribusiness commodities with the Location Quotient (Location Question) method and examine the structure of the growth of commodity agribusiness in Kerinci Regency. Based on the results of the study, it was found that: the leading agribusiness was the superior agricultural commodity of Kerinci Regency in the period of 2012-2016 based on the calculation of Location Quotient (LQ) Analysis are food crops, horticulture plants and seasonal plantations. Based on Klassen Analysis The typology of the structure of the growth of agricultural commodities is divided into four parts. Advanced and fast developing commodities, in Kerinci Regency are annual and other food crops and horticulture plants. Advanced but depressed commodities consist of annual horticultural crops sub-sector commodities and seasonal plantations. Rapidly developing commodities consist of commodity livestock, forestry and logging sub-sectors. Relatively lagging commodities consist of agricultural services sub-sector and hunting

Abstract:

Identifying the factors that influence competitiveness is imperative in order, to appreciate the position of the firm in relation to its environment and to propose appropriate measures and strategies for increasing competitiveness of agribusiness firms. The study sought to determine the competitiveness of the agribusiness sector in Swaziland and to identify the factors affecting competitiveness. Porter’s (1998) theory of the determinants of competitive advantage was applied in the analysis. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated that the top 3 constraining factors to competitiveness were: the unavailability of professional labour (mean = 1.63); high cost of supplies/inputs (mean = 1.69); incompetence of public sector personnel (mean = 1.69); ineffective public sector personnel (mean = 1.88) and the size of the local market (mean = 1.88). The enhancing factors to competitiveness were: production of affordable high quality products (mean = 4.19); availability of water for industrial purposes (mean = 4.00) and affordable cost of unskilled labour (mean = 3.94). The results further indicate that the agribusiness sector is constrained, suggesting that the environment is not enabling for agribusinesses to be competitive. It is recommended that other markets be explored in order to expand the export base, which could be carried out through product diversification.

Abstract:

This paper is about the ProSAVANA Programme, a trilateral cooperation project between Japan, Brazil and, Mozambique. ProSAVANA Programme goal is to develop the agriculture sector in the Nacala Corridor and it has been controversial due to conflicts among government, private corporations, and civil society organizations. Private investments were expected to occur in the Nacala Corridor, mainly from Brazilian agribusiness, however, Brazilian private investments in Mozambique’s agriculture sector have been in a stagnant state in the period 2007-2017.The paper examines the status of the ProSAVANA Programme and what are the difficulties to Brazilian agribusiness invest to Mozambique. Current challenges of the programme were found as follows: (1) high risk of investment due to non-existent public subsidies to small, medium and large-scale agribusiness; (2) “land property” law bureaucracy; and (3) civil society mobilization against ProSAVANA. All they are key factors to repel Brazilian agribusinesses. Como citar este artigo:KOBASHIKAWA, Tamy Yukie. Brazilian agribusiness in Mozambique: the ProSAVANA Programme case study.

Abstract:

This paper aims for several research objectives. It aims to find out the agribusiness sectors developed by Al-Mawaddah Entrepreneurial Pesantren. It also aims to find out the empowerment of agribusiness developed by this pesantren. Last, it also aims to determine the impact of empowering agribusiness developed on improving the economy Al-Mawaddah Entrepreneurial Pesantren’s alumni. This research is a field research. The approach used by researcher is a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study strategy. Research location is at Pesantren Entrepreneur Al-Mawaddah Honggosoco Kudus RT. 06/ RW. 01, Jekulo District, Kudus Regency. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. The results show that: (1) the agribusiness sector that was developed at Al-Mawaddah Entrepreneurial Pesantren touched only agriculture and educational sectors. It yet touches other agribusiness sectors, such as fisheries or livestock. The agricultural sector developed includes: agricultural food crops, such as: rice, corn, soybeans, vegetables, and cassava, fruit crops, such as: longan, and dragon fruit. They even plant within the premise sugar cane plantation; (2) Agribusiness Empowerment developed by Al-Mawaddah Entrepreneurial Pesantren consists of three stages, namely: input, process, and output; (3) Agribusiness entrepreneurship is better than working under other people (companies) because apart from freedom, the income generated is also higher.

Abstract:

This paper argues that a strong agriculture sector is needed by the economy to rapidly grow. However, it is not sufficient. A strong agriculture sector can sustainably support the economic growth only if there are economic sectors that sufficiently demand commodities produced by the sector. The result of an analysis of Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) shows that agribusiness, or more specifically small and medium scale agriculture based industries, is the key for enhancing the performance of the economy. Agribusiness can also considerably improve the income of poor rural people and significantly create employment. Therefore, it would result in a better income distribution.

Abstract:

Agribusiness is seen as a driver of social and economic health. Indeed, analysing the entrepreneurial phenomena in the context of agribusiness sector would be appropriate, as entrepreneurial orientation would provide an instrument to be competitive in the market and foster their performance. Face to face interviews were conducted with 44 representatives of 3 key actors in the of entrepreneurial value formation process of agribusiness sector in Albania. Study results show that collaborativeness among industry-government-academia is essential for the sustainability and prosperity of agribusiness sector. The research proposes collaborativeness as a dimension of the entrepreneurial orientation construct.

Abstract:

Agribusiness has made many important contributions to the Turkish economy. These conributions related to meeting of the nation’s food demand, creating added value, increasing and diversifying exports and increasing employment. While the relative importance of the Turkish agriculture sector decreases over the years, in the economy, agribusiness still preserves its place and developments. This paper assesses the contribution of agribusiness to the economy during the period 1994−2004, in terms of production and export values and the firms working in this area. Within the agribusiness, the most stable and best-developed industries were food and textile in the period concerned. Changes in the economy influences agribusiness but the basic problem that affects it is development is the integration with the agricultural sector. That is the downstream relations, which is not the desired level at all.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how capabilities are created, accumulated and evolved as dairy farmers and dairy processors interact with other actors (e.g. suppliers, government organisations, research organisations, universities, MNCs, etc.) in three Mexican dairy regions in the Mexican dairy sector (MDS). The MDS plays an important part in mitigating the social problem of malnutrition in low-income families and reducing peasant migration. In particular, this thesis analyses the processes of capabilities building to integrate the value chains of those firms in complex socio-economic and technological systems. In these processes, regional actors, their networks and institutions have played major interdependent roles during globalisation following the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA (i.e. 1994-2004), which ended a long period of imports substituting industrialisation regime. This thesis proposes the concept of sector-specific regional capabilities (i.e. regional capabilities) and an analytical framework based on this concept in order to fill gaps in the literature on evolutionary economics, firm, organisation and strategy and regional innovation systems. The thesis investigates the integration of the micro (firms) and meso (regions) levels of capabilities development in agribusiness in a developing context. The research builds upon four main theoretical approaches: 1) dynamic capabilities of firms; 2) regional system of innovation, including regional capabilities, 3) sectoral systems of innovation; and 4) a function-based approach to comparing regional performance in capabilities building aimed at improving policy making. By combining elements of these approaches, this research articulates the logic of the coevolution of routines into improved and new capabilities within farms and dairy processors (i.e. intra-organisational capabilities) and between these actors and other organisations (i.e. inter-organisational capabilities), which carried out collective activities and processes involving learning. A cross case research employed involved a set of 120 in-depth interviews with the main actors in three dairy regions, which differ in climatic conditions, socio-economic features and the technology of their milk production systems. Interviews were designed to identify and assess (qualitatively) the interactions that led the processes and development mechanisms that changed routines, which provide the basis for new and improved capabilities, as well as the factors that constrained their development. Secondary data from research of academics and practitioners provided complementary evidence related to the operation of government programmes affecting the MDS. This research shows that sector-specific regional capabilities are built as the result of the learning that occurs when firms and different organisations interact in formal and non-formal transactions. Regional capabilities comprise intra organisational capabilities (i.e. dynamic capabilities) (e.g. R&D, marketing capabilities, etc.), and inter organisational capabilities (e.g. production, alliance-making, research capabilities, etc.), which are shown to coevolve over time with regional institutions influencing this co-evolution process. Comparison shows that the creation, accumulation and evolution of regional capabilities using a specialised milk production system between the three dairy regions is markedly different. Regional capabilities in La Laguna region became strategic, allowing regional firms to reach national and international markets. Firms in the Los Altos region accumulated operational capabilities and are in transformation, not yet reaching national and international markets comparable to La Laguna firms. Firms in the Tabasco region accumulated basic capabilities and still lags behind the other two regions. These results have implications for improving policy making. National policies should be tailored by regional dimensions to develop small dairy farms and firms capabilities in all regions. Regional institutions with targeted policies may help regions obtain and develop resources to build capabilities and remove constraints for long-term sustainability in the dairy regions.

Abstract:

The following study assesses economic and political determinants of foreign direct investment by U.S. firms. Data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis at the U.S. Department of Commerce was used for total and food sector FDI for 35 countries from the years 2001-2008. Using these data in three econometric models, the paper examines the effect on FDI of regional trade blocs as well as political factors such as labor and credit market regulations, and transfers and subsidies. Finally, the thesis provides a comparison of each model on two dependent variables: food sector and total FDI. The study finds that management decision making for FDI differs for agribusiness firms compared to industry as a whole, especially with regards to the host country’s relative wages, language barriers, and membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN).

Abstract:

A participação do Brasil no mercado externo sofreu nas últimas décadas uma influência muito grande do Agronegócio, impulsionada principalmente pelo aumento da exportação de commodities agrícolas. O presente estudo se propôs a entender como esse processo impactou o desenvolvimento econômico nacional. Para isto, considerou-se a totalidade das exportações em volume e valor das diferentes categorias de produtos comercializados no Agronegócio no período de janeiro de 2008 a julho de 2016. Analisou-se uma base com mais de 8 milhões de registros e 1.314 categorias. Utilizou-se a ótica da classificação setorial por intensidade tecnológica de Keith Pavitt (1984) e Laplane (2001) para identificar os diversos setores. Esta dissertação é composta por dois artigos científicos. No primeiro deles, mensurou-se o grau de correlação entre o dólar e as exportações brasileiras de maneira a verificar se a hipótese inicial de que um aumento da taxa de cambio promove um aumento proporcional do total faturado nas exportações. Conclui-se que, ao contrário do esperado, os resultados sugerem que o grau de correlação de Pearson entre o valor exportado e a taxa de câmbio possuem resultados de intensidade média e fraca segundo a escala de Cohen (1988). Além disso, identifica-se que produtos classificados como “Intensivos em Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento” e “Intensivos em Economias de Escala” possuem forças de correlação mais fortes com a taxa de cambio que “Produtos Primários”, “Intensivos em Trabalho” e “Intensivos em Recursos Naturais”. No segundo artigo é apresentado o grau de concentração dos destinos de exportação do agronegócio no período de janeiro de 2008 a julho de 2016.Para analisar os dados utilizou-se o método do Market-Share e o índice de Herfindahl- Hirschman. Os resultados sugerem que existe um elevado índice de concentração por destino de exportação. Os “Produtos Intensivos em P&D” registram os mais altos índices de concentração de mercado nos 5 maiores importadores do Brasil (Estados Unidos, Índia, Holanda, China e Alemanha). Os “Produtos de Economia de Escala”, tiveram um aumento no faturamento das exportações provocadas por uma maior concentração dos dois maiores importadores (Estados Unidos e China). Os resultados da “Indústria Intensiva em Trabalho” e “ Intensiva em Recursos Naturais” foram muito similares ao analisar o nível de concentração destes mercados e não tiveram variações ao longo do tempo analisado. Os resultados dos “Produtos Primários” são fortemente impactados pelo poder do mercado Chinês. A perspectiva apontada na literatura sobre a característica dos itens de maior intensidade tecnológica está diretamente relacionada com a possibilidade de comercializar produtos mais sofisticados e, consequentemente, menos dependentes de aspectos relativos ao preço. Os resultados da correlação de Pearson obtidos neste estudo sugerem que a diferenciação proposta na categoria de alta intensidade não está sendo efetiva. Além disso, ocorreu uma maior concentração dos destinos de exportação no período analisado.
In recent decades, Brazilian participation in the foreign market has been largely influenced by agribusiness, mainly driven by the increase of agricultural commodity exports. This study aimed to understand how this process affected national economic development. For this, we considered the total export volume and the value of different product categories in agribusiness trade, from January 2008 to July 2016. We analyzed a database of over 8 million records and 1,314 categories. We used the sector classification outlook according to technological intensity, by Keith Pavitt (1984) and Laplane (2001), to identify the various sectors. This study consists of two scientific articles. In the first, we measured the degree of correlation between the dollar and Brazilian exports in order to verify if the initial hypothesis that an increase in the exchange rate promotes a proportional increase of total export revenue. We concluded that, contrary to expectations, the results suggest that the degree of Pearson correlation between the value of exports and the exchange rate have medium and low intensity results, according to the Cohen scale (1988). We also identified that products classified as "Research and Development Intensive" and "Economies of Scale Intensive" are more strongly correlated with the exchange rate than "Primary Products", "Labor Intensive," and "Natural Resources Intensive" products. The second article shows the degree of agribusiness export destination concentration from January 2008 to July 2016. To analyze the data, we used the Market Share method and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. The results suggest that there is a high level of export destination concentration. The "R & D Intensive Products" recorded the highest market concentration rates among the 5 largest importers of Brazilian products (United States, India, the Netherlands, China, and Germany). The "Economy of Scale Products", had an increase in export revenues, caused by increased concentration of the two largest importers (United States and China). The results of the "Labor Intensive Industry" and "Natural Resource Intensive" were very similar when analyzing the level of concentration for these markets, and showed no changes over the analyzed time period. The results of the "Primary Products" are strongly impacted by the power of the Chinese market. The outlook about the characteristics of the more technology-intensive items is reported in the literature, and is directly related to the possibility of selling products that are more sophisticated, and thus less dependent of price related aspects. The Pearson correlation results from this study suggest that the proposed differentiation in the high-intensity category is not being effective. Also, there was a greater concentration of export destinations during the analyzed period.

Abstract:

Food security is a global topic of discussion and agricultural sectors play a vital role in the provision thereof. In South Africa the agribusinesses are some of the key players in providing financing, risk management and market advisory services to producers. Since the deregulation of the grain industry during 1996, many of these agribusinesses have converted their business form from cooperative to company and therefore adhere to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These agribusinesses trade commodity derivatives on the South African Futures Exchange (SAFEX) to hedge themselves and their producers against commodity price risk. Globally there has been a tremendous increase in the use of derivatives and other financial instruments and with the emergence of these new and more complex financial instruments, accounting regulations had to follow these developments. The applicable accounting practices at the time were considered as being insufficient and being applied inconsistently. The major global standard setters namely IASB and FASB separately tried to develop adequate standards to address the accounting treatment of these products. The IASB developed International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 dealing with the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, while the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 133. These two standard setters have signed the Norwalk Agreement committing to plans to converge the IFRS and US accounting standards. This study focused on the application of IAS 39, with reference to commodity derivatives, with the main research objective being to investigate the accountancy implications of commodity derivatives in the South African agricultural sector. Furthermore it also serves to establish a standard methodology for the interpretation of IAS 39 and to serve as a benchmark and best practise for South African agribusinesses and commodity processors. For this purpose seven case studies were investigated by utilising a developed questionnaire, an illustrative flow diagram of IAS 39 and recorded structured interviews with the respondents. The accounting treatment of commodity derivatives was investigated by utilising nine transaction types which are typically found when producers sell grain to an agribusiness or a processor purchases grain from an agribusiness. The seven case studies were identified by utilising convenience sampling (unrestricted non–probability sampling). A literature review and empirical study were conducted. The findings on the accounting treatment of commodity derivatives were communicated thematically. The main findings were discussed during interviews with representatives of the technical departments of three of the Big Four audit firms in South Africa. A discussion of similar studies performed globally was performed. The recommendations following from this research study include that entities carrying “own use” inventory and applying hedge accounting can elect to apply the base adjustment consistently as part of their accounting policy on the valuation of inventory. Entities holding grain inventory for trading purposes should, based on industry practice, fair value such inventory. Various recommendations regarding the classification of a supply contract with a producer (as defined in a pre–season fixed price contract) depending on whether an entity applies hedge accounting or not, were made. Recommendations regarding the determination of fair value include that, based on industry practice and guidance by IAS 39, the SAFEX–based price should be utilised to fair value derivatives and to fair value inventory held by commodity–broker traders. The fair value movement on the option contracts taken out on behalf of the producer by an agribusiness should be transferred to the relevant producer's loan account. The recommendations concluded with a recommendation that entities should proactively consider and plan the impact of the replacement of IAS 39 on current business practices. Areas for further research could include investigating the accounting treatment of commodity derivatives of the newly issued accounting standards on financial instruments by IASB and the impact of these new standards on the business practices of entities.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the political and social dynamics of agribusiness in Thailand. Over the last twenty years agribusiness firms grew in scope and activity as Thailand became the major agricultural exporting country of Southeast Asia. The context of this process is explored in terms of national developmentalism, the political economy of agri-food restructuring and history. The thesis analyses two sectors (dairy and shrimp) which demonstrated substantial productive increases and were accompanied with a high level of agribusiness activity. The experiences of these sectors are compared and contrasted to determine the degree to which they characterise historic moments of capitalist restructuring and development.

Abstract:

For my thesis, I analyze effects of recent political developments on the development of Mexico’s agriculture sector. In 1994, Mexico joined NAFTA, sparking major change in many of Mexico’s major industries as a result of lifted trade restrictions. In addition to joining NAFTA in 1994, Mexico has implemented domestic programs over the last thirty years with the goal of expanding its agriculture sector. While some of the effects of Mexico’s domestic policies are concurrent with the effects of NAFTA, I separately evaluate the effects of NAFTA and these domestic agriculture policies. Specifically, I analyze the effects of these political developments on Mexico’s agricultural sector by evaluating changes to the trade balances of four major categories of commodities: vegetables, fruits & nuts, dairy and cereals. I compare the changes to Mexico’s trade position with the changes to trade positions of a selected group of six countries, which I call the “comparison countries.” The trade data covers the time period of 1975-2012, enabling the analysis to adequately evaluate the changes to trade “before and after” these political developments intervened. I find that NAFTA had mixed effects on Mexico’s agriculture sector’s development. Some commodities experience growth and increased exports to NAFTA countries, suggesting that NAFTA effected these industries positively. On the other hand, I find that NAFTA marred the development of other commodities as a result of domestic policies in the US distorting trade. Finally, I find that the effects of Mexico’s domestic programs either aided in the growth of some commodities or simply enabled producers to remain in the competitive NAFTA markets.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines the innovative behavior of agri-food firms located in Central and Eastern Europe. In the literature, empirical analyses on innovation activities of firms focus on various case studies from around the world. However, very few studies explored the innovation of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from Central and Eastern Europe’s agri-food sector. The analysis uses the logit estimation method and firm-level data, which are obtained from ERBD-World Bank Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS). Results suggest that firms that spent some proportion of their financial budget on research and development (R&D), had workforce training programs and bought fixed assets are more likely to launch product, process, organizational and marketing innovations.

Abstract:

Abstract Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness through Learning in Entrepreneurship (2SCALE) is the largest incubator for inclusive agribusiness in Africa. Part of this program supports agribusinesses in developing nutritious products that specifically target base of the pyramid (BoP) consumers in local markets. This product development process is complemented with marketing and distribution strategies to ensure these products reach BoP consumers. In an effort to build sustainable and scalable business cases, all strategies are first tested and implemented in short-term pilots. The lessons learned during the implementation of these pilots are presented in this chapter. The goal of this chapter is to showcase the approach, results, and lessons learned while implementing pilots. Under the 2SCALE program, more than 20 agribusinesses have developed new nutritious products and have run marketing and distribution pilots. The lessons derived from this experience can be useful for both agribusinesses themselves and incubating programs. The first section of this chapter highlights the opportunity at the BoP and the rationale behind implementing pilots, including the importance of BoP-specific marketing and distribution strategies. The second one runs through the approach and stages of developing and implementing pilots. This section is followed by an overview of tools and strategies being used in pilot development, whereas the final two sections explain lessons learned and the next steps.

Abstract:

Solving the problem of food security of the population is a challenge at national and global level. The main driving force in this initiative is agribusiness. The aim of the paper is to determine the national and global importance of agribusiness. To achieve it, the following tasks are formulated: a brief description of the leading agribusiness companies in Bulgaria and in the world; considering the possibilities for different types of associations in smaller companies; comparisons of the scale and orientation of agribusiness companies in Bulgaria and in the world. Based on a study of existing rankings for agribusiness companies, it was concluded that in Bulgaria there are small, medium and large successful companies. The most dynamic of them are mainly companies in the grain sector. The world's leading agribusiness companies are mainly European, and many of them are focused on sustainable development, feeding the population and reducing the harmful effects on the climate.

Abstract:

Marketing strategy is related to the way a company operates in relation to its competitors. In the short run, its success depends on the financial performance of ongoing activities, while its long-term evaluation and development depend on its ability to adapt to emerging market changes in the agricultural sector. To be effective, the strategy must be organized in a systematic and formal way in a written document that formulates the long-term and short-term goals of the company and the ways to achieve them. Benchmarking is actually a system aimed at finding, evaluating and researching the best examples, regardless of their size, business scope and geographical specifications. Therefore, it can be argued that benchmarking is a special kind of art to discover what others do better than us, as well as to study, master and improve their methods of work. The purpose of benchmarking is to understand and evaluate the current position of a business or organization in relation to best practices and to identify areas and means to improve efficiency.

Abstract:

The aim is to determine the size and development trends of land and labor markets in the national beekeeping. The study is focused only on them, as the size and trends of national financial markets in beekeeping are defined in another study by the authors. The urgency of the problem stems from the important role of factor markets in achieving sustainable development of beekeeping and other sectors dependent on it, given the pollination activity of bees. The study finds that the land markets in the beekeeping sector are over 0.5 BGN million/year, and the labor markets are over 77.2 BGN million/year, i.e. form joint factor markets in the Bulgarian beekeeping for over 77.7 BGN million/year. Their development trends are positive and derived from those in the beekeeping sector and other related markets - financial and others.

Uncertain future under the conditions of COVID-19 has changed population`s behaviour, views, daily rhythm without coercion in real practice. Global world suddenly found himself in the midst of an economic recession. All branches of sectoral structure of economy have actually become a hostage of the healthcare. It`s begun not only the strengthen of population`s interests on the development of the domestic economy, but it`s begun the reverse migration of the village immigrated population from town to the village too. In such conditions, the introduction of integrated management practice of agribusiness plays a great role in the country, which should ensure the effectiveness of the natural resources management. In the article, it`s been reviewed one of the priority branch in the sectoral structure of Georgian economy - problems and perspectives of rural and agricultural development, the effectiveness of sector funding has been assessed. In particular, what kind of influence international and state projects, funded in agro-sphere, have on rural development, raising the level of welfare, growth the volume of products, produced in agriculture and at the development level of the national economy of the country. The goal of the research is to learn, analyse and evaluate the effectiveness of the state programs, funded and implemented for the development of agribusiness, features of project management. According to economic and statistical analysis and synthesis methods of the research, it`s been determined how was able the projects, funded for the development of rural entrepreneurship to develop the sector, also how personal and public welfare was created by them.

Full text

Abstract:

This study analyzes the return on investment for an agribusiness facilitation fund implemented in Rwanda. Combining project monitoring data with supplementary surveys and interviews of recipient agribusinesses, we find a positive return on investment in terms of farmer income generated per dollar spent by the US government. To determine the commercial viability of the investments, we estimate the payback period and find the median time it will take a firm to recoup the entire investment through profits is 3.7 years. We estimate the net present value of the entire fund portfolio to be $12.5 million. These estimates rely on conservative assumptions and likely underrepresent the profitability of the investments. Given the positive returns and commercial viability of the agribusinesses, we examine the fund’s role as a first step to “graduate” firms toward investment readiness. Although three firms did access equity investment, we find that the majority of the businesses in the portfolio do not meet investor requirements for deal size and management capacity and are more appropriately financed by commercial lenders. We conclude with recommendations for the implementation and measurement of similar funds.

Abstract:

There is some evidence of the private sector playing a role in supporting refugee livelihoods and self-reliance in Uganda during the period 2016-2020. However, a number of evaluations and research reports highlight the potential for greater private sector involvement, if existing constraints are addressed. Key lessons identified in the literature include the need for more research, especially on market potential, to address the existing knowledge gaps on the role the private sector can play in supporting refugee livelihoods and self-reliance in Uganda. The literature notes that limited access to capital, as well as appropriate financing schemes, are key constraints to the growth of the agribusiness sector. Furthermore, access to natural resources required for agri-business, such as land and water needs to receive more attention from NGOs and donors. The evidence also shows that there is a need for guidelines on the monitoring and evaluation of humanitarian adaptations of market systems development programming. The literature also notes that local actors should be involved in the design and assessment of investment opportunities and risk of interventions to increase project impact.
