Title : Gender Comparative Analysis of Profitability in Sugarcane Production: Evidence from Non-Cooperated Vuvulane Sugarcane Growers in Eswatini
by Sicelo I. Dlamini, Mancoba G. Dlamini, Ajay S. Singh,
Abstract : Sugarcane farming is an economically important agribusiness enterprise in developing countries and is used as a strategic development vehicle for household income generation and national economic growth. However, a literature gap exists in the effects of gender dynamics on profitability amongst non-cooperated growers. Therefore, this study conducted a gender comparative profitability analysis and identified the determinants of profitability amongst smallholder growers. Cross-sectional data were collected through interviews guided by a structured questionnaire from a sample of 173 growers. The budgetary technique and the gross rate of return (GRR) were adopted to assess the level profitability. Multiple regression was applied to analyze the determinants of profitability. The results revealed that sugarcane farming is profitable with an average profit per ha of E32,514.20 and GRR=1.47. Female-managed farms were more profitable (profit/ha=E34,970.04; GRR=1.62) compared to male-managed farms (profit/ha=E30,845.17; GRR=1.38) and the difference was statistically significant at p≤0.10. Farm-size, sucrose yield and total cost were found to be common drivers of profitability at p≤0.01 for male and female-managed farms. The grower’s experience in business management and ratoon cropping were significant determinants of profitability amongst male-managed farms at p≤0.01 and p≤0.1, respectively. The study recommends that the growers should increase sucrose yield through capacitation on business management skills. Male growers must adopt strict cost minimization strategies to improve profitability. Policymakers should assist the growers to increase the scale of operation to improve profitability through economies of scale..

Title : Government Support for Sustainable Agricultural Development and Farmer’s Satisfaction Level in Afghanistan: An Empirical Investigation
by Waheedullah Hemat, Hameedullah Noori, Naqibullah Raihan,
Abstract : Agriculture holds immense significance in safeguarding food security, alleviating poverty, and fostering economic advancement. It serves as a pivotal source of employment, promoting social stability and overall well-being, especially in less developed countries like Afghanistan. Therefore, this study scrutinized the effect of government support for sustainable agricultural development and farmers' satisfaction levels in Afghanistan. The study was based on primary data analysis, and a survey was conducted to collect data from farmers and other stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector. The result of the study showed that government financial facilities positively impacted cereal crop production, horticulture, livestock, and extension services. However, regarding farmers' satisfaction with government financial support, it indicates that farmers were dissatisfied with support for all agricultural sub-sectors. Therefore, the government should increase funding for the agriculture sector, implement projects, ensure transparent resource use, provide financial facilities to aid farmers for higher productivity, and modernize the agricultural sector to ensure sustainable growth..

Title : Assessment of Arable Crops Farmers’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Perception on Climate Change Extreme Events in South-west, Nigeria
by Ayinla, Rasheed Ayodele, Alao, Oluwagbenga Titus, Adesoji, Solomon Adedapo, Ayinla, Rachael Ajibola, Olawuyi, Seyi Olalekan,
Abstract : This study assessed farmers’ knowledge, attitudes, and perception (KAP) regarding climate change effects on agriculture in the south-west Nigerian States of Oyo and Osun. Data collected from a sample of 389 smallholder arable crop farmers across different agro-ecological zones using structured questionnaires were analysed using descriptive statistics, Weighted Average Index (WAI), and Pearson’s Products Moment Correlation (PPMC). The results revealed an ageing population of farmers with an average age of 55 years, who are predominantly male (78.1%), and engaged in farming as their primary occupation (77.4%). Most farmers (67.6%) had secondary or higher education. Farmers also demonstrated good knowledge of climate change indicators like temperature rise, erosion, storms, and biodiversity loss. However, understanding of less visible impacts like crop seasonality shifts was lacking, as revealed in the results. Likewise, positive attitudes towards adaptation strategies such as crop diversification, irrigation adoption and weather monitoring were observed. The findings from correlation analysis also indicated that farmers’ personal and socio-economic characteristics indeed have significant relationships with their knowledge, attitude and perception about climate change. Given the results of the study, a holistic approach tailored towards farmers’ needs, integrating these elements is crucial for building widening farmers’ knowledge, and capable of driving a positive attitude and perception on climate change, as well as building their adaptive capacities and ensuring sustainable food production systems..

Title : Genetic Diversity in the Growth and Yield of Climate-Resilient Quinoa in Northern Vietnam's Conditions
by Luu Hue Nhan, Luong Nhat Minh, Nguyen Van Loc, Nguyen Viet Long, DInh Thai Hoang,
Abstract : The quinoa crop is known as “the food for the future” and contains wide profits for human beings. Quinoa is a niche product with enlarged manufacturing, but it has the potential to be much more than just a food. It can produce the ecosystem switch from animal to plant-based protein diets and create a more sustainable food system. The study was implemented in the winter cropping season to evaluate the growth and yield characteristics of 25 selected quinoa genotypes. The criteria monitoring included: (i) growth criteria (growth duration, plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, stem diameter, and net assimilation rate), and (ii) grain yield criteria and its components (1000-seed weight, individual yield, and potential yield). The growth duration of the genotypes ranged from 73 to 119 days, potential yield ranged from 0.57 to 2.18 tons/ha. The high diversity of the quinoa collection was found and could be divided into four groups. As a result, based on the yield component criteria the 5 superlative genotypes were selected: Q5, 2 want, Chadmo, G26, and Sayana to assist in the research and selection of quinoa genotypes..

Title : To Challenges and Existing Knowledge Gaps Facing the Cooperative Movement: A Case Study of Singapore Cooperative
by Vijitsri Sanguanwongse,
Abstract : Responding to challenges and existing knowledge gaps facing the cooperative movement in the world, this research seeks to provide exhaustive information on Singapore cooperative movement. Singapore is the one country as member of International Cooperative Alliance. The Singapore cooperative movement is outstanding and interesting operations and ideas that can be applied for the world cooperative movement. The descriptive analysis is performed the data on the issues: history, structure, type, and laws of the cooperative movement. A focus group with experts, which analyze and synthesize by using SWOT analysis to provide exhaustive information and suggestion guidelines for application in the world cooperative movement. The results of synthesis for application in the world cooperative movement are as follows: 1) The cooperative business operation should be based on the needs and circumstances of the true economic and social situation. 2) The cooperative must have a broad vision and give importance to laying down a foundation and solid system. The important mechanism of the cooperative movement is the concept and ideology of cooperative that must be inculcated from a young age and done continuously. 3) The cooperative must focus on their social mission and combine with the modern concept and vision of their citizens. 4) The cooperative must seriously focus on creating understanding, cultivating ideals and values for the operating committee and the cooperative management. Applying the lesson learned from the success of Singapore cooperative, it is quite difficult to adapt. The differences in people's conditions are the most important matter. The cooperative in the world are other different factors such as geography, climate, politics, and government..
