Full textAbstract:
Centered on rural Greek Macedonia, this article constitutes an attempt to assess the role of agricultural cooperatives as mechanisms capable of molding a sturdy and efficient farmer. As it will be argued here, this was the intention of the Ministry of Economics (and later, Ministry of Agriculture) officials who composed the standard statute for agricultural cooperatives. By applying a micro-historical perspective, based on the archives of two agricultural cooperatives of interwar Greek Macedonia, this article provides evidence that gives cause to doubt whether the proclaimed goals were achieved.

Full textAbstract:
This study assessed the extent to which agricultural cooperatives carryout the training of male and female farmers on improved rice (Oryza sativa) production techniques in Ini Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria using research questions for 2,500 (male and female) rice farmer cooperative members in the study Area. Data analysis for 1600 completed questionnaire collected revealed that male and female farmers were not efficiently trained by agricultural cooperatives on improved rice production techniques. Moreso, there were no significant difference on the extent of carrying out the training of male and female farmers by agricultural cooperatives on improved rice production techniques in Ini Local Government Area. It is recommended among others that Agricultural cooperatives should organize periodic training sessions for rice farmers through the use of facilities and demonstration in the farm. The Government, through The Ministry of Agriculture should encourage and support agricultural cooperatives by providing materials and adequate funding to enable them perform their primary assignment creditably.

This article considers the process of development of agricultural cooperatives in Ukraine. The data of the indicators of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of Ukraine by organizational and legal forms were taken as a basis. Data from the official report of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine were also taken. The study was conducted in several stages. First, with the help of data from the State Statistics Service, a table of the number of cooperatives in Ukraine to date was constructed with a breakdown into production, service, consumer, agricultural production and agricultural service. However, the percentage of cooperatives compared to the total number of registered legal entities was calculated. After that, a diagram of changes in the number of cooperatives from 2013 to 2021, with a breakdown into production and service cooperatives. At the second stage, according to the report of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine for 2019, a table was built with the number of agricultural cooperatives by region, broken down by species and their condition. The results of the study showed that 47.7% of agricultural cooperatives do not actually function. After that, it was considered on the regulatory framework that regulates and regulates the process of creating and maintaining a cooperative form of economy, namely the amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Agricultural Cooperation" № 819-IX from 21.07.2020. In the fourth stage, the problem of lack of professional cooperative managers was analyzed, and the possibility of implementing and using foreign experience in managing cooperatives was considered. In countries such as the United States, the Netherlands and Japan. The fifth stage was the analysis of cooperative financing. To date, 63% of all agricultural cooperatives are financed by grants, 27% by borrowed funds, and only 9% by the cooperative’s own funds. The conclusion summarizes all the problematic aspects.

Purpose During the past four decades, agriculture and rural development in China has scored a great progress. Organization institution in agriculture is one of the domains with drastic innovations. The purpose of this paper is to map the emergence and evolution of various agricultural organizations in China since 1978. Development status and the trend of agricultural organization system are analyzed. Further, the role of farmer cooperatives is discussed. Design/methodology/approach Data used in the paper are mainly from statistical yearbooks and documents published by the government including Ministry of Agriculture and Bureau of Industry and Commercial. Both descriptive and deductive analyses are adopted to achieve different analytical purposes. Findings The vast small-farm sector, co-existence of various types of organizations, and innovation of other organizations will continue and sustain for a long-time period in China. Despite the fast development of modern farmers and various organizations, it is important that traditional farmers participate effectively in modern agriculture. Farmers act collectively via a cooperative in a desirable way, which determines the central position of farmer cooperatives in the agricultural organization system. Research limitations/implications This paper is a qualitative analysis on agricultural organizations in China, yet no quantitative estimation regarding the comparison of various organizations is conducted due to insufficient data. Originality/value This paper fills the gap of a comprehensive review of the emergence, development status, and trend of agricultural organizations in China.

Full textAbstract:
A food supply chain integrates three important economic sectors: agriculture, food processing, and distribution sectors. Integration processes are one out of different ways of efficiency’s improvement of supply chains; they are also the key challenges of contemporary management in the global economy. Common activities of partners in a supply chain can take different forms, starting from general agreements in supply operations, common forecasting and planning of production to cooperation in the field of design and implementation of new products. The aim of the study is to investigate an economic role of agricultural cooperatives in Poland from a perspective of changes in food supply chains. In order to realize it, data of the General Agricultural Census 2010, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as the ranking of the top 500 companies in Poland by “Rzeczpospolita” (2017, 19th edition) were applied. Research results show that a significant number of cooperatives stopped their activities or limited their scale or range after 1989. However, some cooperatives have been developing and as for example dairy cooperatives belong to the top 500 companies in the Polish economy. There is also an increasing trend of establishment of agricultural producer groups, often in a form of cooperatives, that have been observed recently.

<p>Government of Indonesia has allocated food sovereignty’s budget through the 2016 state budget (APBN) which places the cooperation of Ministry of Cooperatives and SME’s with Ministry of Agriculture, when developing the farmer cooperatives’ corporatization. Global food sovereignty is contested by: (1) civil society in which one of the actors is cooperatives, (2) the government which is part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN FAO), and (3) the global private sector which is part of the World Trade Organization (WTO).This paper analyzes Karya Nugraha Jaya Multipurpose Cooperative in Kuningan (KSU KNJ)’s partnership which supplies 90% of good quality raw milk from its members to PT Ultra Jaya Milk (54%) and Diamond Milk (36%), two business actors who has implemented the WTO’s and FAO’s Codex Alimentarius for the sake of fulfilling food safety standards for worldwide food trade. These international institutions forced to revoke the word ‘mandatory’ and the article on ‘sanctions’ from Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture’s regulation if business actors do not enter into partnerships with farmers & cooperatives. This study shows that KSU KNJ, which is one of 9,703 Indonesian agricultural cooperatives, is an aggregator of the milk produced by its members. A strategy is needed to increase the partnership of dairy cooperatives with private companies. The possible seven strategies are: (1) Wait and see first group; (2) Driving group; (3) Chain integration group, (4) Cooperation specialist group; (5) Free specialist group; (6) Diversification cooperation group; and (7) Free cooperation group.</p><p>Keywords: Food sovereignty, codex alimentarius, dairy, cooperatives, partnership</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong>KEMITRAAN KOPERASI DENGAN PERUSAHAAN SUSU BERDASARKAN </strong><strong>CODEX ALIMENTARIUS DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KEDAULATAN </strong><strong>PANGAN DI INDONESIA</strong></p><p>Pada tahun 2016 Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengalokasikan anggaran kedaulatan pangan melalui APBN yang memposisikan Kemenkop UKM harus bekerjasama dengan Kementerian Pertanian dalam mengembangkan korporatisasi koperasi petani.

Agricultural extension service began work in Ethiopia since 1931, during the establishment of Ambo Agricultural School. But a formal Agricultural extension started since Alemaya Imperial College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (Haramaya) was constructed since 1953.The extension activities of Ethiopia during the last 50 years reveals that a range of extension approaches has been used. The approaches tended differ with each successive political regime. Different extension approaches in different political regimes, during the imperial regime the responsibility for national extension administration to the Ministry of Agriculture, extension service became one of the departments in the Ministry. And during the military regime the land reform proclamation banned the private ownership of rural lands and declared that land would be distributed to the tillers without compensation to former owners. Because of the political instability and major structural changes in the rural areas, including the formation of peasant associations and producers' cooperatives as well as the implementation of the land reform, it was not possible to carry out this plan. There was not much organized and coordinated extension work in the country until the beginning of the 1980. At the current Extension service of Ethiopia in 1991 the T & V extension approach was adopted as a national extension system with major government financing until its replacement by the Participatory Demonstration and Training Extension System in 1995. The latter was adopted from the SaSakawa Global 2000 (SG 2000) extension strategy. Agricultural extension service in Ethiopia can be given by different mandatory level such as at federal level by ministry of Agriculture, At Regional level Bureau of Agriculture, At Woreda level Agricultural and Natural Resource office, and at Farmer Training center level Development agent and different stockholders have responsibility of giving extension especially agriculture related extension to need holders. In Ethiopia there are different extension approaches model such as Chilalo agricultural development model (CADU), minimum package project I and II, Peasant Agricultural Development program, participatory demonstration and training extension system, farmers field school, Farmers training center and Agricultural technical and Vocational Education training (ATVET) these are the different extension approaches in Ethiopia starting from the begging up to current extension service respectively.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the current situation and potential for the development of organic agriculture in Serbia. Despite the favourable agri-ecological conditions for the development of organic agriculture, this branch of agriculture in Serbia significantly lags behind the world and European average in terms of the percentage of agricultural land under organic production. The motive for the conducted analysis within this paper stems from the fact that the demand for organic products in the EU has been increasing at a rate of about 10% annually in recent years, which represents a chance for Serbian agriculture. Data sources used are from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of the Republic of Serbia (MAFWM), Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (SORS) and Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FIBL) while the basic research method is interview with experts and participants in organic agriculture. The results of the analysis show that the main limiting factors for the development of Serbian organic agriculture are dominance of small and economically weak producers and insufficient consumer confidence in organic products. The path to the development of organic agriculture is in the increased cooperatives activity and the improvement of consumer confidence in organic products.

A agricultura familiar representa um segmento de grande importância econômica e social para o meio rural brasileiro. Devido a essa importância, observa-se um crescente interesse do governo por esse segmento, que se materializa em forma de políticas públicas. Dessa forma, em 2011, o Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA) criou o Programa Rede Brasil Rural, uma ferramenta virtual que visa facilitar o contato entre as cooperativas e associações de produtores rurais e os fornecedores de insumos, a logística de transporte e os consumidores públicos e privados. O principal objetivo da rede é auxiliar na comercialização, seja dos insumos necessários à produção, seja dos produtos procedentes da agricultura familiar através de uma plataforma eletrônica. O propósito do Programa Rede Brasil Rural é inserir novos conceitos e ampliar o limite geográfico de comercialização para o segmento através do comércio eletrônico. O objetivo desse estudo é escrever os mecanismos de funcionamento da Rede Brasil Rural, as medidas adotadas pelo governo para implantação do programa, os principais parceiros, as Contribuições que a rede proporcionará à agricultura familiar, além dos desafios a serem superados. Rural Brazil Net Work: Innovation Within The Family Agriculture Context ABSTRACT: Family agriculture is a segment of high economic and social importance for the Brazilian rural region. There is an increasing interest by the government manifested in public policies. The Ministry of Agrarian Development established in 2011 the Rural Brazil Network Program, a virtual tool that facilitates contact between cooperatives and associations of rural producers, suppliers, transport logistics and public and private consumers. The network´s main aim is the commercialization of required production supplies and of products produced by family agriculture through an electronic platform. Rural Brazil Network Program inserts new concepts and amplifies the geographical limit of commercialization for the segment through electronic commerce. Current analysis describes the functioning of the Rural Brazil Network Program, the measures worked by the government to adopt the program, the main partners, the contributions that the network provides to family agriculture and the challenges that should be coped with.

Abstract Institutional development of farmers through corporations in agricultural areas in Indonesia faces basic problems with both formal organization and weak organizational capacity, thus partly causing institutional strengthening programs for farmers rather hard to achieve. This study aims to identify and formulate policy recommendations regarding the institutional development and its integration as necessary partners of agricultural area-based corporations. The analysis used is descriptive qualitative through interviews with key informants (key informants). The research itself was conducted at the Ministry of Agriculture in 2022. The results show that the integration of farmer institutions is carried out in a regional approach, providing a regional development management by building farmer corporations which process is carried out in Kostratani units. Meanwhile, the concept of a farmer corporation itself is only implicitly contained in Law No. 19 of 2013 concerning the Protection and Empowerment of Farmers, which is called the Farmer Economic Institution. Explicitly the concept of “farmer corporations” is stated in the Minister of Agriculture Number 18 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for the Development of Farmers’ Corporation-Based Agricultural Areas. Ensuring the development of corporate institutions can run well, it is necessary that the present farmer institutions in the form of Poktan and Gapoktan which are not that legally official as corporation entities, must be integrated with legal entities, namely cooperatives or companies.

Abstract Farmers’ corporations are a form of farmer economic empowerment that unites all farmer resources and manages them in an integrated management. Batur Subdistrict, is one of the potato-producing centers in Banjarnegara District. This paper aims to analyze the potential for developing farmer corporations in the potato agribusiness system in Batur Subdistrict, Banjarnegara. The Farmer Corporation Model developed refers to the Ministry of Agriculture No. 18 of 2018, which is in the form of cooperatives or other legal entities with the majority of capital ownership by farmers. The data comes from the results of the 2020 study. Respondents consist of potato farmers, administrators of the Dieng Farmers Union (SPD), owners of subsidized fertilizer shop, potato seed breeders, agricultural extension workers, potato marketing actors, and managers of Agribusiness Microfinance Institutions (LKMA). Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively descriptively by taking into account technical, economic and management aspects. The results of the study indicate that the existing farmer institutions in Batur Subdistrict, both technically, economically, and management have the potential to develop farmer corporations. The corporate model formulated is the growth of primary and secondary cooperatives which include potato seed cooperatives, farming capital cooperatives, potato production facilities cooperatives, and potato marketing cooperatives. The amount of economic value that can be obtained by each potato farmer with the existence of a corporation ranges from Rp. 1.04 - 2.07 million per year. In order for a farmer corporation to run and provide benefits to farmers, support from the government is needed in the form of assistance, business training, and initial capital.

Full textAbstract:
Aquaculture is one of Nepal’s fastest-growing agricultural subsectors. The current total national fish production is 77,000 mt, with capture fisheries accounting for 28% and aquaculture accounting for 72%. Modern aquaculture and fisheries practices contribute nearly 1% of GDP and 2.68 % of Agriculture GDP (AGDP). This sub-positive sector’s performance, in contrast to others whose contribution to GDP has declined over time, suggests its popularity among farmers. Fisheries and aquaculture education, research, and extension policies are extensions of the main national agriculture policy. Fisheries and aquaculture are a thriving sub-sector of Nepal’s agriculture sector, with high growth potential but limited organizational capacity. The Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) is mandated to conduct fisheries and aquaculture research. Overall, the country’s fisheries activities are primarily governed by the government’s policy strategy. As the focal institution, the Directorate of Fisheries Development of His Majesty’s Government of Nepal formulates and implements national fisheries and aquaculture development plans and programs approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. The primary goal of the national fisheries policies and acts is to contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction through inclusive, equity-based, and ecosystem-based aquaculture practices (EAA). Specific laws and legislation on aquaculture development must be drafted or enforced to build capacity and facilitate entrepreneurship. Furthermore, Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be identified and implemented for the sub-sector to grow sustainably.

The number of cooperatives in Indonesia reaches hundreds of thousands, but 40% of cooperatives in Indonesia are not active for various reasons. This study aims to evaluate descriptively the contribution of cooperatives in the Indonesian economy, especially in terms of employment and economic growth. This study uses descriptive analysis using data sourced from the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The results showed that as much as 9.2 % of the total population of Indonesia are members of cooperatives. The percentage of cooperatives' contribution to Indonesia's gross domestic product is still below 5%. As for employment, cooperatives are only able to absorb 0.5 % of the entire working population of Indonesia.

A detail study on the experience of agricultural extension in Nepal was done by discussion with experts, academicians and involved agricultural officers of Nepal along with review of different documents, books and articles on the subject matter. Since from the first effort of extension service, Training and visit, Integrated Rural Development Approach, Tuki Approach, Farming System Research and Extension Approach, Block Production Program were the approaches used in the past. Conventional Educational Approach, Pocket Package Approach, Projectization Approach, Farmers Group Approach, Farmers Field School Approach, Partnership Approach are the approaches being followed presently in agricultural extension in Nepal. The extension efforts in the country are guided by the National Agricultural Extension Strategy. Department of agriculture under ministry of agricultural development is responsible for providing public extension service via District Agriculture Development Office (DADO), Agriculture Service Centre, Contact Centre, Model Agriculture Service Centre and Community Agriculture Service Centre at the farmers level. Farmers Group and cooperatives, International and National Nongovernmental organizations, Community Based Organizations and few private entities are providing the private extension services. major issues found in public extension systems are lack of motivation among the rural youths, farmers; natural resource degradation and climate change and sustainability issues; inadequate number of the extension workers and their qualification and skills; inadequate infrastructure and capacity for use of ICTs among the ground level extension workers; lack of monitoring and assessment of impact of extension activities in rural farmers; low level of need based extension coverage particularly for small farmers; ineffective and weak linkages between stakeholders at different levels; low level of education of farmers; insufficient budget and investment for extension activities; domination of supply driven approaches rather than demand driven; inadequate extension services in parts of value addition and market exposure.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the measures of state support for agricultural producers, among which a special place is occupied by subsidies provided in various areas. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, the difficulties of a legal nature that farmers, agricultural organizations, agricultural consumer cooperatives face when receiving such support are revealed. Firstly, regional legislation provides for the return of a subsidy not only because of its misuse, but also in case of violation of related obligations that have an indirect impact on the creation and functioning of agricultural producers (violation of the terms of spending, provision of false information when receiving a grant, etc.). It is proposed in the regional regulatory legal acts for non-compliance with the obligations associated with the intended use that arise in connection with the receipt of a subsidy by an agricultural producer, to replace such a measure of responsibility as the return of grant funds for penalties. Secondly, in the event of an unlawful refusal of the regional Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation to issue a subsidy. It is proposed to recognize such a subsidy as a loss in the form of lost profits in order to recover it in a civil law order and to make appropriate changes to Art. 78 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation. The solution of the identified problems will contribute to the development of sectors and sub-sectors of agriculture, will positively affect the food security of the Russian Federation.

Sleman Regency is a productive area, its agriculture is known to support food security. This is proven by the various awards given by the Minister of Agriculture, one of which is a member of the Sido Makmur sugar cane farmer cooperative, which is located in Kalasan District, Sleman Regency. The award that can be obtained is, of course, due to the development of sugarcane farming. So, the purpose of this research is to examine the development of sugarcane farming and its impact on socio-economic conditions, which is focused on the Sido Makmur Cooperative.
The method in this study uses descriptive analysis, with purposive sampling technique. While the data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis uses data reduction techniques, categorization, data display and drawing conclusions.
The results of the study show several things. The first, sugarcane farmers who are members of the Sido Makmur Cooperative have a maximum education up to high school level. Second, the land cultivated by sugarcane farmers is varied, at least 1.5 Ha, while at most 10 Ha. There is land that is cultivated on a lease basis, but there is also one that is owned by yourself. Third, cooperatives have a role in the development of sugarcane agriculture through the steps of forming a business unit for the procurement of retail fertilizer sales, rental of agricultural production equipment, savings and loans and building relationships with sugar factories. Fourth, the role of the cooperative can encourage members of sugarcane farmers to remain productive and as an effort to improve the welfare of members.

Fertilizer is a vital input for agriculture production. With the growing popularity of modern agriculture, fertilizer consumption in Nepal has been increasing over the years. Since, Nepal does not produce any fertilizers, demand for fertilizers are being met through formal and informal imports. Over the years, fertilizer policy changes have been observed several times in a bid to satisfy farmers' demand for quality fertilizers. While fertilizer policy change of deregulating the fertilizer trade initially produced positive impact in overall supply situation, deregulation policy could not largely ensure the supply of quality fertilizers in required quantity and time. Re-introducing subsidy regime in chemical fertilizer by the government's recent decision could be considered as a positive development towards meeting farmers demand for quality fertilizer. However, given the quota of subsidized fertilizer, which is far less than the actual demand, the problem of supply is likely to continue. To address current problem of short supply government should increase the quota at least up to three hundred thousand metric tons. Moreover, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives should come up with a long-term plan aiming at sustainable management of soil fertility.Key words: Fertilizer subsidy; Fertilizer deregulation; Fertilizer importThe Journal of AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTVol. 11, 2010Page: 126-137Uploaded date: 16 September, 2010

Effects of membership in cooperative organizations was investigated in many studies, and their results were sometimes controversial. Presented paper contributes to discussion related to cooperative membership by comparing members and non-members, with elimination of self-selection bias, to identify motivation to become member and main effects coming from membership in producer organization. Panel data used in the presented analysis are from Ministry of Agriculture of Slovak Republic at farm level for period of years 2009-2016, which was the most recent available data. Propensity score matching approach was applied to eliminate self-selection bias and to create sample of members and corresponding non-member farms in each year. Difference between these two groups were evaluated by methods of statistical inference. In general, it can be concluded, that in presented period were members of producer organizations more profitable than non-members. Also difference in total revenue was significant in period of year 2010-2013, which means probably successful using of advantage from better bargaining position of producer organization, compared to non-members. Significant difference in profit disappeared in last three years 2014-2016, this could suggest, that membership in producer organization was less attractive to many farms which led to decrease in number of members. Membership in producer organization probably improved economic performance of farms in Slovakia in period 2009-2013, but this advantage disappeared in last years. This could be probably linked to support for producer organizations from European Union in period 2007-2013.

Full textAbstract:
Accelerating undernutrition reduction in India requires realigning agriculture and rural development policy to empower women in agriculture. Resources targeted to women and women’s groups significantly improve agricultural productivity, women’s control of resources or assets, and health and nutrition outcomes. The country should promote women’s cooperatives, producer women’s groups, and other forms of group efforts, where they do not already exist. This would enable women to overcome the constraints of small, marginally profitable land holdings, thereby improving the dissemination of agricultural technology and other inputs, as well as marketing of produce. The National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) under the Ministry of Rural Development offers a significant potential for convergence with the agriculture sector to empower women to care for themselves and their children. NRLM’s federations of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) could radically alter the balance of power not only in the markets they participate in as both producers and consumers, but also in their communities and households.Women’s groups, including SHGs under NRLM, can become instrumental in meaningful convergence of health, nutrition, education, and other broad-based schemes addressing the deeprooted causes of undernutrition. Examples of such group-centric pro-nutrition approaches include producing and consuming nutrient-rich foods through homestead horticulture and poultry interventions; establishing and maintaining micronutrient food fortification units; producing and marketing low-cost, nutrientdense supplementary foods; developing primary food processing; enabling women and their children to access essential health and nutrition services; and catalyzing critical behavior change for optimal health and nutrition outcomes in the long run through community mobilization, including the involvement of Panchayati Raj Institutions, around nutrition-specific issues and actions. Empowering women in agriculture which is essential to India’s nutrition security requires securing women’s rights to land, providing efficient and effective legal support, and enhancing women farmers’ access to inputs. For example, entitling women in land records as cultivators on family farms, where women operate the land registered under the name of the male household members, would make a significant difference in accessing various government program benefits.

Financial inclusion, considered as the provision of financial opportunities and access of the rural population and small forms of management (SFM) to financial and credit resources, is an important factor that allows an agricultural business to expand, create jobs and reduce inequality in the village. The subject of the study is financial and credit tools that provide financial inclusion of the SFM in agriculture. The purpose of the study is to assess the state and development problems of financial inclusion of small agricultural producers, as well as determining directions and economic measures that contribute to its increase in order to ensure sustainable development of rural areas. Research methods. The study has been carried out using such general scientific methods as: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstract-logical method. The empirical base of the study is based on the data of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the Federal State Statistics Service, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Research results. SFM and the economy of the population are manufacturers of a significant share of agricultural products and provide employment in the village. However, such a necessary preferential lending for a number of reasons remains for them inaccessible and insufficient for the development of agricultural production. One of the alternative sources of borrowed funds for small agribusiness and the population is agricultural credit consumer cooperation (ACCC). The growth of the portfolio of loans of the ACCC indicates their demand in rural territories. However, the presence of a number of accumulated problems of the institutional, organizational and economic nature led to a reduction in the number of rural credit cooperatives. Based on the results of the study, directions and economic measures are proposed to increase the financial availability of preferential lending for the SFM and the development of ACCC

Dealing with outliers and influential points while fitting regression is recognizing them, identifying the reasons to their existence in the process and employing the best alternatives to lessen their effect to the fitted regression model. In this paper, before considering elimination of outliers and the influential points while fitting a regression, as they contain important information, issues why unusual observations (possible outliers) appear in the process and how to analyze them to detect if they were real outliers, have been discussed thoroughly. And, when detected as outliers and influential points, to investigate and eliminate their effect in the fitted model, analytic procedures; leverage value, studentized residuals and cook's distance were carefully employed to optimize a multiple regression model for rice production forecasting in Nepal. This model was fitted with 35 years (1961-1995) time series data, collected from Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Food and Agriculture Organization Statistics Database, International Rice Research Institute and Department of Hydrology and Metrology which to its end was consisted of the three predictors, price at harvest, rural population and area harvested.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 1, July 2017, Page: 61-65

The article analyzes individual social and economic problems of the village, the presence of agricultural organizations, the number and level of professional education, the age composition of specialists and managers, machine operators and livestock breeders. For the first time, the human development of the village of the Republic of Tatarstan is considered, as well as the trends in solving the difficulties encountered in the agricultural sector. The agricultural sector of the Republic of Tatarstan accounts for over 14% of the gross social product and the same national income of the Republic of Tatarstan. The resource potential created in the agro-industrial complex between the individual regions is distributed extremely unevenly. More sharp contrasts are observed in the material and technical provision of agriculture in certain regions, in the availability of land and labor resources, in the qualitative state of the available human potential, in the level of its use, in the social development of the village. Of the actual workers aged 30 to 60 years, pre-retirement contingent prevails. Workers under the age of 40 are generally not satisfied with working conditions, wages and rural infrastructure. The leadership of the republic, the Ministry of Agriculture, financial organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan need to make additional efforts to fully provide highly qualified specialists of agricultural organizations, social and economic conditions, and infrastructure. The use of highly efficient equipment, new technologies will increase the productivity of machine operators, reduce the timing of field work, and in livestock can optimize their number. An analysis of the availability, age and educational level of agricultural workers, the introduction of new technologies will make it possible to forecast a decrease of at least 3% in the number of labor resources in agricultural enterprises over 3-5 years. Agricultural enterprises should introduce deep processing of grain, meat, milk and other raw materials, having united in cooperatives. To ensure the economic growth of the agro-industrial complex, certain investments are necessary in order to form highly productive human capital. Only in such conditions can a return on investment be achieved.

Full textAbstract:
Women farmers constitute the vast majority of agricultural producers in Tanzania; however, it is not clear where they obtain information on modern farming innovations. Knowing these sources will enable the government and international aid organizations to more effectively channel information for increased productivity, leading to national food security, increased incomes for farm families and promoting gender parity in Tanzania. This study, which was carried out among 300 women farmers in Hai and Kilosa districts of Kilimanjaro and Morogoro regions respectively, aimed at identifying their sources of agricultural information. The theory that guided this study was Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations, especially Rogers and Shoemaker’s Source-Message-Channel-Receiver-Effect (SMCRE) model. The study, which yielded a high response rate of 96%, found that radio and agricultural extension workers were the primary sources of agricultural information for women farmers. Therefore, the researchers recommend that the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives (MAFC) should focus on community radio as the primary source of information dissemination to farmers and supply rural households with solar-powered radios free of charge or at subsidized cost. The finding that extension workers are women farmers’ second main source of information on farming innovations also defeats the general contention that male extension workers are inaccessible to female farmers. A peculiar finding was that even though women farmers have access to mobile phones they do not use them to obtain agricultural information, perhaps, because the MAFC does not have a system for farmers to call in for information.

The government began subsidizing the use of B20 in large trucks on a voluntary basis beginning in 2016 and intends to implement the B10 requirement in 2018 for all diesel sales. However, policy makers in both the MOE and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) recently agreed that the mandatory biodiesel consumption plan for 2036 may be unattainable (given the strategy does not permit reliance on imports) and is therefore being reexamined. Despite an increase in harvested area, crude palm oil (CPO) production, the only feedstock used for biodiesel in Thailand, stagnated at 1.8-2.0 million from 2014-2016 due to unfavourable weather conditions. Thailand experiences a great economic and industrial development and is the second largest energy consumer in South East Asia. Being a net oil importer, Thai government has declared a renewable energy development programme in order to secure sustainable development and energy security. Thailand spends more than 10% of GDP for energy imports and transport sector accounts for 36% of total final energy consumption of which 50% is diesel. Diesel marks a huge impact on Thai economy.

This study aimed to examine the social, economic, technological, and environmental factors behind the deterioration of the agribusiness sector in Somaliland. The study administered semi-structured questionnaires to 96 respondents in the Gabiley district. The Linear regression results indicate that nine variables, namely; price fluctuation, prolonged drought spell, entrepreneurship training, access to extension services, capital, greenhouse technology, use of mobile money transfer, were statistically significant at 5%. However, four hypothesized variables; farm inputs, land size, education, and availability of farmers’ cooperative societies) were not statistically significant. The study recommends that Somaliland’s ministry of agriculture provide agricultural extension staff and capital to stimulate agribusiness development in the country.

AbstractIn the global south, the use of firewood and LPG as dominant energy sources for cooking contributes to socio-ecological issues. Alternatively, biogas is considered a clean energy source generated from organic waste. However, in Indonesia, until 2018, only less than 2% of households utilized biogas for cooking fuel. This research aims to explore the landscape of biogas governance in Indonesia, its fragmentation, and its relation with biodigester dissemination. This study found that there is fragmentation within small-medium scale national biogas programs in Indonesia. Seven national government biogas programs have similar governance arrangements and characteristics; scattered in different departments within the ministry, using the grant approach with two main vendors, often overlapping with local government programs, and not providing proper monitoring and evaluation mechanism, as well as proper training for users. Meanwhile, the biogas program by a non-government organization utilizes a semi-commercial approach; collaborating with multiple stakeholders (governments, local construction partner organizations, cooperatives, and private sectors-companies and banks); and has standardized training and after-sale services. Within those biogas programs, there are multiple barriers along the supply chain process of biodigester dissemination. These barriers relate to the governance aspect of biogas programs. Fragmented governance affected the capability of each program to tackle barriers in biogas digester dissemination. Besides, heavy subsidy on LPG by the government reduced attraction to biogas. This study shows technology adoption barriers beyond the user/individual aspects. It shows interaction among different factors such as policy, the governance of technology transfer, technical production issues, and socio-cultural problems.

Shallot is the strategic horticulture commodity and one of superior national commodities. Ministry of Agriculture initiated a pilot project for the development of a corporate based shallot farming business area in Ngantang dan Pujon Districs, Malang Regency. This research aims to analyze the sustainability of the shallot farming in Ngantang and Pujon Districts, Malang Regency. Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) RAP-Shallot's analysis with five dimensions (ecological, economic, social, institutional, and technological) was used with a total of 49 attributes. The results of the sustainability index analysis show that the institutional, technological, and social dimensions are classified as quite sustainable, but the ecological and economic dimensions are still classified as less sustainable. Some attributes that are sensitive to the sustainability of shallot farming include integrated pest and disease control, marketing access of shallots, conflicts related to farming, the role of the middleman in harvest collecting, and the use of high quality and certified bulb. To improve the sustainability of shallot farming, the supervision and management of each attribute must be carried out optimally and integrated with many stakeholders such as farmers, traders, cooperatives, and the government.JEL Classification: Q01; Q02; Q20

This research is based on ‘assessing the effects of the changing climate pattern on food security in Monze district of Southern province of Zambia’. Its main purpose was to investigate compatibility issues related to improved crop varieties and how resilient the local community of Monze district in Southern province of Zambia respond to shocks as a result of changes in climate pattern. The study was guided by the following main research question ‘What are some of the compatibility issues related to improved crop varieties and how do indigenous people respond to the effects of climate change in Monze district of Southern part of Zambia?’ Both primary and secondary data were employed to collect the data used for analysis to birth this thesis. Data was gathered using semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews, weight measurement of the U5s, and content analysis. Content analysis is a method of qualitative data analysis. Research participants included: key informants obtained from community leaders as well as officials from the Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperatives, Ministry of Lands and Natural resources, Ministry of National Planning & Budgeting under the department of Climate Change, women and men drawn from the emerging and small-scale farmers. Relevant literature from books, academic papers, journals, newspapers and the internet were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to interpret and further explain the facts on changing climate patterns and the security of food. The results show that the district of Monze has been experiencing severe climatic changes making the inhabitants to initiate other several coping mechanisms. On the other hand, the results show that the rural dwellers of Monze district continued for over 3 years experiencing fluid food security (not static) and that 83 percent of this rural district had their food nutrition compromised. This is because most of the rural communities rely more on rain fed agriculture for survival, and in times when food was insecure, they opted to charcoal burning for sale, sending their children to other relatives in big cities for school, men marry several wives as cheap labour and opt to heavy drinking habits. Based on these findings, the study concluded that mean annual temperature and rainfall were not the main determinants of the rural household food security situation in Monze district. To deal with this contribution of effects of climatic change on food security, the study recommends that rural households begin to adopt other crops other than maize that can perform well under the prevailing climatic conditions. It is further recommended that the rural dwellers of Monze district should embark on other alternative ways of livelihoods and also consider running their agriculture enterprises as a business venture (typically for profit).

Full textAbstract:
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading global cause of death. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed the consumption of fruits and vegetables because they are rich in phytochemicals that sustainably ameliorate the occurrence of NCDs. Thai food contains many spices and vegetables with recognized health benefits. Quality control of plant samples encountered a bottleneck in the field and comparative studies of plant control origins including species or cultivar identification, growing area and appropriate harvesting time are limited. To address this issue, all plant samples used in this study were cultivated and controlled by the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Thailand. The samples were phytochemically screened and determined their health-promoting bioactivities via antioxidant activities and inhibition of NCD-related enzymes including lipase (obesity), α-amylase and α-glucosidase (diabetes), angiotensin-converting enzyme (hypertension), as well as acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and β-secretase (Alzheimer’s disease). The non-enzymatic reaction toward glycation was also evaluated. The results showed that Senegalia pennata subsp. insuavis (Lace) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger, Citrus hystrix DC. and Solanum melongena ‘Kermit’ extracts exhibited high antioxidant activities. Moreover, Citrus hystrix DC. extract was a potent inhibitor against lipase, angiotensin-converting enzyme and butyrylcholinesterase, while Coriandrum sativum L. and Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC. were potent anti-diabetic agents and Senegalia pennata subsp. insuavis (Lace) Maslin, and Seigler & Ebinger was a potent anti-glycation agent. Our data provide a comparative analysis of ten vegetables to encourage healthy food consumption and development to control NCDs in Thailand in the future.

In conventional agriculture, extension officers are regarded as change agents. They intervene to bring about change through influencing innovation, technology transfer and decision-making process in order to help improve the lives of the farmers and their families. Farmers in 21st century have opportunity of receiving the majority of information about agriculture through mass media outlets as a result technology advancement.
A case study design was employed design utilizing mixed research approach focusing on Magu district as study area. The study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected using purposive sampling from a sample of 148 farmers whereas the secondary data were collected from Magu District’s agriculture, irrigation and cooperative office. The data collection tools included questionnaire, focused group discussion and semi-structured interview methods. The aim of this study was to investigate how mass media is serving both extension officers and farmers to enhance agriculture knowledge and technology adaptation in the wake of few extension officers.
We found extension officer to farmer ratio to be 1:1172 and 1:500 for crop and livestock farmer respectively. This ratio falls short from World Bank recommended standard ratio of 1:200-500 as well as below the Tanzania ministry of agriculture’s standard of two extension officers per village. The rapid development of social media platforms gives the specialty crop industry the ability to speak directly to the public, informing consumers about food production and encouraging them to become agriculture advocates.
The impact of mass media among the farmers in enhancing productivity was moderate. This was easily analyzed by examining the theme content in mass media in the country and frequency of media usage by both farmers and extension officers. Amongst various mass media radio and television channels emerged as the most used, most dominant, relevant, low-cost medium and user friendly for farmer-to-farmer-extension and to expose rural communities to new agricultural technologies and ideas. Social media is the most recent form of digital communication and on a global scale and already this study reveal farmers particularly that farmer with high level of education and high-income level using social media for agriculture.

Full textAbstract:
In Cuba aproximately 38.000 ha of beans are sown in the Ministry of Agriculture, with a total production old to the state of 9.000 t. The highest porcentage belongs to state agencies under favorable environment and monoculture rotational system. The reminder is produced in agronomy cooperatives and by individual farmers; in all the cases yields are low. Experimental results obtained in the country, indicate that higher yields could be obtained. The main limiting factors affecting bean produce are: the lack of the areas devoted to this crop, low level of technology adoption and transference, poor availability of quality seed for the whole planted area and unefficient management of the harvest and post harvest. The conclusion is that there are agroecological and structural conditions, as wellas a great deal of research results, which allow to resort to the popularization of the crops, together with a sustainable territorial self-production of the grain for consumption and seed. To develope a broad base extension service program that allows the knowledge up-to-date of the producers and to keep the development of the national research programin permit to meet the availability for new technologies to face the diversity of problems involved in bean production.

Full textAbstract:
The manifest communal clashes in the State necessitated this study to investigate the effect of communal clash on Agricultural production, using Awka North Local Government Area as a yardstick. A survey research design was employed in the study. The population of the study consisted of 927 Cooperative farmer members in Awka North and the sample size was 101 using Taro Yamane formula. Questionnaire was used in collecting data. Data were analyzed using Multiple Regression at 5% level of significance. Findings showed that there is a statistical significant relationship between communal clash and agricultural output (r = 0.19, R2 = 0.22, F = 0.0001, p-value < 0.05) and that boundary dispute has inverse relationship with agricultural output (r = 0.03, R2 = 0.07, F = 0.1137, p-value > 0.05). Consequently, the study concluded that communal clash has altered agricultural production in Awka North Local Government Area. Therefore, the study recommended among other things that Anambra State government need to make policies that would enhance peaceful coexistence among the communities in Awka North local Government Area to enable farmers in the area attain their full potential in agricultural production. Anambra State Ministry of Agriculture needs to intensify efforts in the provision agricultural inputs such as fertilizers so as to enhance soil manure for increased agricultural production

The paper presents the results of the research into the condition, number and concentration of beef cattle of Hereford breed, adapted to the natural and climatic conditions of the East Siberian region. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the methods of systematization, logical and comparative statistical analysis. The research information was based on the official materials of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tuva on animal husbandry. Out of the total number of livestock in the region (180 748 heads), Herefords amount to 2869 heads. A comparative analysis of livestock in farms of different forms of ownership and different natural and climatic zones was carried out. The largest population of Herefords (48.94%) is concentrated in the central agricultural and livestock zone with forest-steppe and steppe subzones (by the number of animals Piy-Khem kozhuun ranks first, 19.1%). In the southern zone of dry steppes, there are 27.43% of Herefords (by the number of livestock in the Republic, Tes-Khem kozhuun ranks second, 14.7%). In the western mountain-steppe zone there are 23.63% of Herefords, the largest number is in Barun-Khemchik (7.4%) and in Bai-Taiginsky (7%) kozhuun. Specialized beef cattle have not been brought to the high-mountain Mongun-Taiginsky kozhuun of the western zone or to the eastern high-mountain taiga zone. According to the results of the analysis, taking into account the category of farms, 56.4% of Herefords are kept in peasant farm enterprises, 19.7% – in agricultural production cooperatives, 29.7% – in other agricultural enterprises. All farms practise year-round grazing. Differences in the number of Hereford cattle by districts depend on the capacities of farms and climatic breeding zones. The monitoring which was carried out will allow to determine the prospects for raising purebred cattle of a specialized type, taking into account the terrain and zone of the breeding work in the conditions of year-round grazing in the Republic of Tuva.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract.The rice brown planthopper (BPH) outbreak is one of several causes of damage to rice crops in Thailand. A traditional way to monitor the early outbreak is to routinely and randomly count the density of BPHs spreading around the rice field. This article presents an assistive tool to monitor the BPH by using automatic image processing. Smart phone devices with a sufficient camera quality are currently affordable and convenient for farmers to capture images from their rice fields. Based on the Support Vector Machines algorithm trained on color and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) image features, the proposed system not only automatically detects the position of BPHs in the collected images, but is also able to classify the life stage of each hopper. The use of a red-frame mark on the camera screen to guide BPH image capturing helps improving the overall processing accuracy. Field experiments with the Rice Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand shows the proposed system achieved an approximately 89% detection F-measure and an 87% BPH life-stage classification accuracy. Moreover, this article illustrates the preciseness of BPH density prediction with respect to the different numbers of sampling images from the rice field. The result suggests farmers to take at least 40 images per 1,600 square meters in order to gain more than 87% prediction accuracy. Keywords: BPH classification, BPH life-stage, Brown planthopper (BPH), Image processing, Mobile device, Support vector machines, Rice.

Full textAbstract:
Most farmers conduct small-scale dairy farming in Indonesia, so the appropriate policies are required for its development. Problems in the development of dairy farming in Indonesia cannot be solved partially but need to be solved holistically from the upstream-downstream subsystem. Existing conditions indicate that the rate of milk consumption has not been followed by milk production, so imports are still required. This paper aims to describe a systems dynamic approach model to obtain policy recommendations for dairy farming development in Indonesia. The development of the dairy cattle population and milk production in the four periods of the strategic plan of the Ministry of Agriculture for the period 2000-2019 and the development of the dairy cattle population and milk production in Indonesia for the period 2000-2021 showed positive growth. In the same period, the share of the dairy cattle population was 98.47%, and milk production was 98.93% in Java. Problem-solving in dairy cattle development has been modeled by researchers using a systems dynamic approach. Policy recommendations for dairy farming development using a system dynamic approach: good dairy farming practices, optimizing local resources, empowering farmers and institutions, utilizing appropriate technology, controlling productive dairy cows slaughter, strengthening dairy cooperatives, training for farmers, increasing business scale, and imports of dairy cows. However, improving a holistic model from the upstream to downstream subsystems is still necessary to provide alternative policy recommendations for dairy farming development in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture in Sub-Sahara Africa is considered as an engine of economic growth and has the potential to reduce rural poverty of smallholder farmers through increased food security and household income. However, most of Sub-Sahara Africa countries are faced with low agricultural productivity and this has undermined the potential to reduce rural poverty. The study focused on smallholder cotton producers in Zambia. Cotton is grown in Central, Eastern and Southern Provinces of Zambia and is an important cash crop which contributes over $60 million to the economy. It also supports over 150,000 households. However, productivity of smallholder cotton farmers in Zambia is low, around 800 kg per hectare or less. While in West Africa productivityis over 1000 kg perhectare. Agriculturalproductivity is defined as a measure of value of output for a given level of inputs. Efficiency is defined as the actual productivity of a farm relative to a maximal potential productivity.Thisshowsthatefficiencyisrelatedtoproductivity though it is productivity at maximum or minimum values. The study used the 2008 supplemental survey data collected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Central Statistics and Food Security Research Project. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) this study determines the technical, allocative and economic efficiency indices of a sample of 812 (population estimates 150,801) cotton producers in Zambia. Using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, the study determinesthe factors influencing technical,allocative and economic efficiency variations. Results show that the mean technical, allocative and economic efficiency indices in cotton production are 46%, 37% and 20% respectively. This means that Zambian cotton farmers could reduce input use and production cost without altering the output by improving technical and allocative efficiency by 54% and 63% respectively. Female headed households, number of years spent in school by the household head, leaving crop residues, value of productive assets and off farm income are some of the factors found to positively influence the technical, allocative and economic efficiency. The study found that cotton farmers are relatively inefficient and there is room to improve efficiency among smallholder cotton farmers in Zambia. Some socio-economic and farm specific factors have a positive influence on efficiency. The study recommends that cotton stakeholders should devise strategies of involving more women in cotton production, improve access to productive assets, and encourage adoption of conservation farming crop residue retention as the means to improve cotton production efficiency

Full textAbstract:
About 90% of rural households in Swaziland keep indigenous chickens and the government of Swaziland, through the Ministry of Agriculture, implemented a commercialisation programme for indigenous chickens between 2008 and 2009 as a move towards ensuring food security and income generation. The purpose of the study was to conduct an analysis of the factors affecting the commercialising indigenous chickens in Swaziland. Specifically the study sought to; estimate sales rate, identify factors affecting sales rate and further identify constraints to commercialisation of indigenous chickens. The study used a descriptive quantitative design. Using a stratified random sample 147 indigenous poultry farmers were sampled from a population 729 farmers who trained on commercialisation of indigenous chickens in the four regions of Swaziland. Data were collected by the use of personal interviews with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as means, mode and frequencies were used to estimate sales rate and analyse constraints to commercialisation, whilst a Tobit regression analysis was used to analyse factors affecting commercialisation of indigenous chickens. The results indicated a Pseudo–R2 of 0.88 implying that 88% of the variation in the model was due to the explanatory variables. Prices of alternative products, quantity of chickens sold, quantity of chickens consumed significantly (p< 0.01) affected sales rate. Supplementary feed also significantly (p< 0.10) affected the rate to commercialise. The results further indicate that farmers were constrained by: high disease outbreak; lack of fencing and housing; high feed costs; lack of markets; low productivity; lack of credit access; poor growth and maturity and low market prices. It is recommended that farmers organize themselves into cooperatives or associations to take advantage of discounts when purchasing feed.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture, like the entire Ukrainian economy, is experiencing a difficult period. Although such a downturn in production, which had been at the time of restructuring, did not take place, but the results of the activity are rather uneven over the years and tend to decrease over the past few years. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the financial condition of farmers depends on the macroeconomic situation, which is confirmed by foreign studies, namely, on a specific policy of state support. More than 11% of agricultural and farm enterprises are concentrated in Vinnytsia region. ¼ part of the farms has a land ownership of up to 500 hectares, and an essential criterion begins with 50 hectares. A significant (20%) share of farms has a land bank of 1-2 thousand hectares. The share of small agricultural enterprises for 2010-2017 has increased from 22.7% to 35.7%, and the share of micro-enterprises in them remains constant - 10%. In the special fund of the state budget, according to the program 2801460 "Granting loans to farms", allocations for 2016 - UAH 15.8 million were determined; 2017 - UAH 65.0 million, in 2018 - UAH 43.1 million. According to the regional state administration, according to the results of the implementation of budget support programs for agrarians in 2018, Vinnytsia region was second only to the number of financial support provided to farmers by the Mykolaiv region. Yes, it was used by 411 farms with 2,350 registered (17.5%). It is supposed that all key areas of state support for 2019 will be maintained. In the region there is a Program for the development of private, farm enterprises for 2016-2020 (modern edition in the Regulation of the State Aviation Administration dated 02.11.2016, number 40). For 2014-2016, UAH 4.96 million has been allocated to this direction from the region budget. Favorable loans were received by 24 farmers and 7 private farms, 5 agricultural cooperatives. In 2017, the program allocated 1.0 million UAH, the trend was also in 2018 The most successful program is to reduce the cost of technology. According to the Ministry of Agropolicy, it has already used 1830 farms in Ukraine and purchased 2,900 units of equipment. The amount of compensation amounted to 211 million hryvnias. Moreover, the most interested persons were Vinnytsia - 163 agricultural enterprises. Agrarians of Vinnytsia region received almost 16 million UAH. reimbursement. About 7.7 mln UAH got gardeners of Vinnytsia region as a partial compensation for purchased landing material. Taking into account the data of 2017, it was discovered that the financial crisis has hit most of the small businesses, due to the fact that it is harder for them to attract external financing, including tight credit requirements. It is for this reason that, when analyzing the financial support of farmers abroad, there are compromises between profitability, ecosystem services and other social factors, which is a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable development of agriculture. A holistic approach to assessing the productivity of farms in the production, social, financial and environmental dimensions is being developed. In this context, the ministry's intention is to draw the attention of heads of specialized departments to the between rural councils and agribusiness, as well as the level of salaries that would indicate a socially oriented agrarian business. For Vinnytsia region issues of attraction of new agricultural producers for cooperation in the project with the Euro region "Dniester" and the special support of this direction are considered by the branch of the Ukrainian State Fund for support of farms, the Institute of forage and agriculture Podillya of the NAAS of Ukraine and the Vinnytsia regional branch of the State Agricultural Protection Agency "State Soil Protection". In order to use budget funds efficiently, to achieve a balance in funding support programs and sustainable socio-economic development of the village, to increase the competitiveness of agricultural producers, to expand the commodity structure of exports and to establish Ukraine on the world food markets, the Ministry of Agropolicy has drafted a bill "On Amendments to the Law" On State support of agriculture of Ukraine ". It provides the basic principles for the creation and functioning of the State Paying Agency and the State Agrarian Register. It is worth taking into account the example of EU countries that build a database of agricultural producers by introducing a free identification procedure in a single register. An individual entrepreneur or legal entity creates a personal electronic cabinet and automatically receives information on all types of state aid, eligibility criteria, and the ability to apply online. Analysis of foreign experience shows that in their attempts to increase the viability of family farms, agricultural governments have chosen a number of approaches that can be extended to developing countries. To improve the organizational and financial structure of farms, it is necessary to improve communication processes within farms and between farmers' organizations, enterprises, and social funds in order to establish common priorities for agrarian development in identifying and / or developing, adapting and expanding innovations. Consequently, prospects for further exploration in this area lie in the field of elaboration of a methodology for determining the financial condition of farms based on farm and simplified financial statements.

This paper reviews the current status of Turkish silkworm genetic resources and activities being undertaken for their conservation. Silk production and the trade in silk have been important activities in Turkey, which lies on the ancient Silk Road, for many hundreds of years. Current production of silk is on the rise after a period of very low production. Turkey has a well-established programme of conservation and development of all of its domestic animal genetic resources, of which silkworm is considered a constituent part. Three distinct lines of native silkworm have been registered with the national standards body, the Turkish Standards Institute. Distribution of silkworm germplasm is regulated by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock through Cooperative Unions which have more than 10,000 members. Renewed and increased international demand for natural and biological products is favourable to Turkey’s silkworm industry. The prognosis for the future development of silk production is strongly positive.

Water electrolysis is a process that uses electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen. There are several types of ion exchange membrane can be used, anion exchange membrane, proton exchange membrane and bipolar membrane for water electrolysis. Alkaline based water electrolysis has several advantages to use non-precious electrocatalysts. However, the development of low resistance and durable anion-exchange membranes is of importance. In this study, several anion-exchange membranes were developed to enhance alkaline stability. Pore-filling anion exchange composite membranes with different contents of cross-linkers were prepared by mixing an electrolyte having good anion conducting ability. The mixture of monomers into a porous polyethylene (PE) substrate were polymerized by UV curing. The pore-filling reinforced composite membranes have been investigated in terms of good chemical stability properties, in particular, the variation of conductivity and mechanical strength in 1 M KOH at 60 oC. Characterization in terms of ion exchange capacity, water uptake, swelling ratio, and mechanical strength were also investigated.
