Comparison of Farmer Welfare in Kediri Regency and Probolinggo Regency Based on Farmer Exchange Rates (FER)

Agriculture is an important component of the Indonesian economy and makes a significant contribution to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, the poverty rate among farmers is still high, which shows the need for a more in-depth study of farmer welfare. This study focuses on Kediri Regency and Probolinggo Regency in East Java, areas known for their agricultural contributions. The aim is to assess the welfare of farmers in Kediri Regency and Probolinggo Regency. This research uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis used is the Farmer Exchange Rate (FER), which is determined by comparing the Price Index Received by Farmers (It) and the Price Index Paid by Farmers (Ib). The results show significant differences between the two districts, Kediri experienced an increase in FER of 0.48%, while Probolinggo experienced a decrease in FER of 2.87%. This finding is important because it reflects differences in the welfare and economic conditions of farmers in Kediri and Probolinggo. Factors such as government support, adoption of modern technology, and seasonal changes were identified as influencing these outcomes. Strategic recommendations include increasing productivity through technology and starting programs targeting young farmers. This effort aims to improve agricultural effectiveness and the overall welfare of farmers in the region.

Suggestions that can be given are for farmers to pay more attention to their agriculture so that they can produce superior quality cashew nuts and the industry to pay attention to the comfort of the community to avoid conflicts.

Minimum Support Price and the Changing Nature of Rural Economy and Its Implications on Agriculture in Haryana

Agriculture in India is undergoing a shift. It is due to a grim situation of increasing food production and rural economy linked with agriculture. On one side, agriculture production is led by 55% of cereal crops primarily based on minimum support prices (MSPs) by the Government of India. On the other side, horticulture accounts for only 16% of agriculture without many incentives. The cultivation cost is rising day by day. Unlike employee compensation, the market does not support farmers and their products. Despite rising production, sustainable agricultural growth is unlikely because of issues including groundwater depletion, climate change, and poor income. The MSP is driving the change in farmer’s lives in the changing nature of rural economy. However, the economic conditions of farmers have not changed much as the surveyed households (HHs) revealed based on MSP and its significance on economic condition of farmers. About 60% of farmers claimed that their income remained the same, 22% said that their condition got better, while about 14.43% of HHs claimed that their economic situation got worst. The study highlights that sustainable agriculture and changing nature of the rural economy will transform farmers’ conditions if they diversify the production of crops from cereals to non-cereal crops such as protein-based pulses or less water intensive crops such as millets.

Factors Affecting Mechanization Index and Farm Power Availability in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh

Background: Agriculture is the most vital sector of the Indian economy. In 2020, India’s population was 1.38 billion, with a projected growth of 1.80 billion by 2050. As a result, more food must be produced to meet the demands. Mechanization is recognized as an important input for increasing agricultural production. It assures timely field operations, improves product quality and quantity, improves input-use efficiency and reducing labour costs and drudgery. Methods: Randomly, 5 Mandals are selected; within each Mandal, 5 villages are chosen randomly; and from each village, 20 farmers are chosen at random. For the survey, a sample of 500 farmers from 25 villages was selected to examine the mechanization index and farm power availability by considering factors such as social status, landholding and economic status of farmers. Result: According to the study’s findings, that the average mechanization index and average farm power availability were 68% and 1.64-kW ha-1, respectively. The influencing factors that observed from the study was lack of knowledge about how to use farm machines and implements, lower annual income of farmers and marginal farmers who cannot afford to buy expensive machinery and implements. The mechanization index and farm power availability increase linearly with the farmer’s economic status.

Socio-economic profile: A tool for improving cultural and economic status of farmers from SAS Nagar (Mohali) district Punjab

The present study is based on preliminary information carried under socio- economic survey to assess the important information regarding agronomic practices, economic status and livestock production of farmers from SAS Nagar district of Punjab. Study was conducted on the basis of proper questionnaire from different villages. Nearly two hundred farmers were interviewed for assessing their socio-economic status of the respondent farmers. In this, we had prepared a questionnaire in which we had to gather all the information about the socio- economic profile of the farmer such as the income status, caste system, education status, family composition, cropping system, availability of implements and machinery, availability of loans, source of information, etc. Each item was analyzed and explained clearly to draw meaningful inferences. Better health facilities, availability of better seeds and provision of low-cost fertilizers are responsible for attractive farmers’ status. On interaction with all the respondent farmers, it has been found that the literacy rate is very high (90%). It was found that during kharif season, majority of them cultivated rice (80%). While in Rabi season, wheat was cultivated mostly (80%). Few of them cultivated sorghum (10%) and pearl millet (10%) for fodder use. On an interaction findings, revealed that the socio- economic status of the farmers can be improved by imparting technical knowledge to the farmers, increasing their education level and increasing their social participation. Lack of awareness in the field of disease and pest management, farming inputs were seen. Therefore, for the well-being of farming community new technologies like disease monitoring with available software technology and artificial intelligence should be applied for sustainable agriculture.

Irrespective of literacy only 6.0% of the farmer had training. Results showed that about 58% respondents used anabolic steroids for the duration of 3 to 6 months long cattle fattening (P<0.001) program. The chi-square (11.093) value of annual income indicates that with increase of annual income and use of anabolic steroids have decreased. The significant (P<0.01) association was observed in case of anabolic steroids and source of money, annual income, number of cattle fattening, breeds, fattening period, starting and finishing age. About 78% respondents used feed additives for cattle fattening from own resources (P<0.001) and most of cattle fattened for 3 to 6 months (P<0.01). The result demonstrated that respondents of low annual income used more anabolic steroid and feed additives as a growth promoter for cattle fattening and they prefer in powder form.

Dampak Pandemi Covid-19 terhadap Peternakan Hewan Qurban di Kota Sukabumi dan Kabupaten Bogor, Studi Kasus: Zona Hijau dan Merah

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic and Indonesia is one of the countries affected by the outbreak. This has a major impact on the social economic and the prosperous community, especially for sub sector livestock which contributes to the fulfillment of the nutritional value of animal protein and national food security. This study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the livestock sector, especially to the sacrificial animal farm. Direct interviews using a questionnaire were conducted with 36 sacrifial animal farmers in the area of the Covid-19 spread map in the red zone (Bogor Regency) and the green zone (Sukabumi City) from September to November, 2020. The questionnaire was divided into three parts, first part about characteristics of farmers, second part about farming activities, and the last about market of sacrificial animals. The pandemic has caused changes in livestock procurement in terms of input prices and sales of sacrificial animals. The price of livestock for the production input during the pandemic in the green zone is low, while in the red zone is high. The decrease in sales occurred in the green zone, while in the red zone is increase, both for sheep and cattle farmers. Most of sacrificial animal farmers (88.89%) did not change their sales method from the previous year. Sacrificial animal farmers also strongly agree that Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the economic conditions of farmers.

KELAYAKAN FINANSIAL USAHA TANI DAN PERSEPSI PETANI TERHADAP KEBIJAKAN KENAIKAN TARIF CUKAI HASIL TEMBAKAU (Studi Kasus di Kecamatan Suralaga Kabupaten Lombok Timur)

Tobacco is a national strategic commodity that contributes to state revenues and employment. The purpose of this research is to analyze tobacco farming income and to analyze farmers' perceptions regarding the policy of increasing excise tariffs on processed tobacco/cigarette taxes. The research method used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive analysis approach. The research was conducted in Suralaga District, East Lombok Regency. Suralaga sub-district was chosen because it is a sub-district that mostly cultivates tobacco commodities. Respondents used in this study were 30 respondent farmers. 15 farmers live in Bagik Payung Village, some 15 farmers live in Waringin Village. Both villages are tobacco farmers and are located in Suralaga District, East Lombok Regency. The results showed that tobacco farming in East Lombok Regency was declared feasible because based on the analysis, the farming experienced an income (profit) of Rp. 8,045,942/hectare/planting season with a farming feasibility level of 1.70> 1 (feasible category). Most farmers have the perception that the policy of increasing tobacco excise/cigarette tax aims to help the national economy through increasing state revenues, not to control the level of cigarette consumption. The local/central government has never socialized the increase in tobacco/cigarette excise. In addition, farmers also assume that the government has never provided assistance or compensation to farmers after the policy of increasing tobacco/cigarette excise. The increase in cigarette excise does not have a direct impact on the decline in the economic condition of farmers. The factors that have the most direct influence on farmers' income are uncertain weather conditions (climate change) and the determination of the selling price grade of tobacco harvests which is less transparent.

Common Barriers, Attitudes, and Practices of Veterinary Practitioners Regarding Antimicrobial Resistance and Stewardship in Chattogram, Bangladesh

Abstract The perceived risk of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens creates the necessity for understanding the role of the prescriber groups. Hence, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among veterinary practitioners to assess their understanding regarding antimicrobial prescribing and the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock. We collected responses from 100 veterinarians engaged in the large animal, poultry, and pet animal care practices. Proportions were calculated for categorical variables and the results were visualized. We revealed two key barriers: a lack of enough information and of training on the proper prescription of antimicrobials. Prescribing a wide variety of antimicrobials and doing incomplete courses of antimicrobial treatments were two very important causes pointed out by the respondents for the development of antimicrobial resistance. A number of highest-priority critically important antimicrobials (HP-CIAs) of human health were found to be used by veterinary practitioners. In addition to clinical features like types of organisms and severity of the disease, the availability of drugs in the local market and the economic conditions of farmers have the potential to influence the decisions of veterinarians in prescribing antimicrobials. The professional development of veterinarians and the maintenance of strong coordination are crucial to ensure the proper engagement of veterinarians as the front-line fighters for tackling the AMR issue.

Factors Affecting Conception Rate in AI Bred Cattle under Field Conditions of Maharashtra

Data on 98336 artificial inseminations (AI) performed during 6 years (January 2010 to November 2015) on 56037 field animals owned by 29097 farmers’ from 44 cattle development centres spread across two districts of Maharashtra state were collected and analyzed. Whole data set was classified according to districts (Beed, Jalgaon), economic status of farmers (APL, BPL), animal breed (HF cross, Indigenous, Jersey cross, Non-descript), parity of animal (heifer, first, second, third, fourth, fifth calvers), animal body condition score (no rib exposed, one rib exposed, two ribs exposed, three ribs exposed), heat stage (early, mid, late), season of AI (rainy-June to September, winter-October to January, summer-February to May), bull breed used for AI ( HF, HF crossbreed, Jersey, Jersey crossbreed, Indigenous), AI sequence number (1,2,3) and AI Year (2010 to 2015). Least square analysis was used to compute conception rate. The results revealed overall mean conception rate as 46.2 ± 0.51% and it was significantly (p les than 0.01) higher in Beed district, Jersey crossbreed animals, animals having fourth parity, animals exhibiting one rib exposed, early heat and animals inseminated with Indigenous breed bulls semen, first AI sequence number and during the year 2015 compared with respective groups of parameters under study. However, effect of season of AI and economic condition of farmers did not affect conception rate in animals under field conditions of Maharashtra.

Evaluation of Commercial Animal Feed Quality and Manufacturing Status in Ethiopia

Animal production in Ethiopia is hindered by numerous constraints such as traditional subsistence production practice, Low producing genotypes and poor marketing linkages, poor economic status of farmers, poor nutrition and management amongst others. This study was undertaken in four regions of the country namely Oromia, Amhara, Tigray, South Nations, Nationalities and Peoples in selected towns and Addis Ababa city administration to assess compound feeds sector and evaluate the quality of compound feeds in Ethiopia. A total of 34 feed producers were surveyed, to provide an overview of the sector, while chemical analysis was used to assess the quality of 64 compound feeds which are categorized in to three (layer, milking cow, and beef feeds). Qualitative and quantitative survey methodology by using a structured questionnaire vs qualitative data was used for collection data. The feed samples were analyzed for chemical contents Dry Matter, Crude Protein, Crude Fiber, Moisture, Metabolisable Energy and Fat at Animal Products, Veterinary Drug and Feed quality Assessment Center laboratory. Compound feed production is dominated by poultry feed products (61%), while 27.2%, 8.4%, 3.2% are dairy, fattening and others respectively. Most of the feed companies operate below their installed capacity. Raw materials are sourced locally, and maize makes up around 39.5% of total tonnage from the companies ingredient. The Dry Matter content ranges between 88.28%-91.87%, 89.21%-91.99% and 89.61%-91.31% for lactating dairy cow, beef and layer poultry respectively. The Crude Protein content ranges between 10.91%-17.90%, 10.27-16.34% and 11.39-18.57% for layer beef and lactating dairy cow respectively. The metabolic energy value ranged between 1364-2746 Kcal/kg, 1092-2890 kcal/kg and 1703-2880 kcal/kg for layer, beef and lactating dairy cow respectively. Productions of Compound animal feed in Ethiopia have many challenges both by internal and external factors of the industry. So to produce quality feed more concern is necessary from government and feed industry owners.
