Product development of sweets chocolate cube using value engineering method

Cocoa is one of the plantation commodities that has an important role in economic activities as a foreign exchange earner. Indonesia is ranked first in Asia with the highest consumption of chocolate, which is 7.3 kg per capita. Chocolates are seen by consumers as a comfort food or stress relief. For consumers who buy chocolate for their own consumption, consuming chocolate in a small size causes consumers to act more impulsively to consume larger quantities. Consumption of chocolate in small sizes (one bite size) gives the impression that the product has a premium image and higher quality. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of chocolate that influence the decisions of product purchasing and to develop one-bite-sized chocolate cubes using the value engineering method. The study used 433 respondents with the criteria of chocolate consumers aged 15-40 years. Based on the research, chocolate bars and molded chocolate are the types of chocolate most often consumed with a frequency of 2-3 times a month. Consumers have the highest complaints when consuming chocolate, namely melted chocolate which makes hands dirty due to its big size and is too hard to bite. Based on the consumer needs analysis, consumers want the development of milk chocolate cube candy with nuts filling. Four alternative cube milk chocolate concepts with a cocoa mass percentage of 50% were prepared using 2 variations in the number of cocoa beans and cocoa fat (40%:10% and 35%:15%) and 2 variations of nuts (almonds and cashews). Based on the hedonic test results, milk chocolate cubes with a formula of 10% cocoa butter and cashew nut filling had the highest product value of 0.013 compared to other formulas. Chocolate color and ease of eating are the attribute weights with the highest weights. It can be concluded that the milk chocolate cube formula is 40% cocoa beans; 10% cocoa butter, cashew nut filling is the selected formula with a production cost of IDR 985.00/g.

Analysis of current and future bioclimatic suitability for C. arabica production in Ethiopia.

The coffee sector in Ethiopia is the livelihood of more than 20% of the population and accounts more than 25% of the country's foreign exchange earnings. Climate change is expected to affect the climatic suitability of coffee in Ethiopia, and this would have implications for global coffee output, the national economy, and farmers' livelihoods in Ethiopia. The objective of this paper is to assess the current and future impacts of climate change on bioclimatic suitability to C.arbica production in Ethiopia. Based on the current distribution of coffee production areas and climate change predictions from HadGEM2 and CCSM2 models and using the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) bioclimatic modeling approach, future changes in climatic suitability for C. arabica were predicted. Coffee production sites in Ethiopia were geo-referenced and used as input in the MAXENT model. The findings indicated that climate change will increase the suitable growing area for coffee by about 44.2% and 30.37% under HadGEM2 and CCSM2 models, respectively, by 2080 in Ethiopia. The study also revealed a westward and northwestward shift in the climatic suitability to C. arabica production in Ethiopia. This indicates that the suitability of some areas will continue with some adaptation practice, whilst others currently suitable will be unsuitable, yet others that are unsuitable will be suitable for arabica coffee production. These findings are intended to support stakeholders in the coffee sector in developing strategies for reducing the vulnerability of coffee production to climate change. Site-specific strategies should be developed to build a more climate resilient coffee livelihood in the changing climate.

The Relationship between Agricultural Production, Agricultural Exports and Economic Growth in Türkiye: Cointegration and Causality Analysis

This study aimed to assess the influence of agricultural production and agricultural product exports on economic growth within the Turkish economy. To achieve this, annual data spanning from 1980 to 2022 were utilized to construct a model, employing the ARDL Bounds Test to discern the long-term cointegration relationship among variables and the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto Causality Test to determine causality relationships. The empirical findings from the ARDL Bounds Test indicate that increases in both agricultural production and agricultural product exports positively impact economic growth. Moreover, results from the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto Causality Test unveil a two-way causal relationship between agricultural production and GDP, while a one-way causality relationship is observed between agricultural product exports and GDP. Despite the declining share of the agricultural sector in GDP over the years in Turkey, these findings underscore the enduring importance of agriculture in driving economic growth and creating value. As potential solutions to Turkey's balance of payments challenges, strategies such as boosting domestic demand, expanding the domestic market, and augmenting agricultural sector contributions to foreign exchange earnings through agricultural export subsidies are proposed. Furthermore, efforts to mitigate income disparities between the agricultural sector and other sectors could foster socio-economic development in rural areas, thus promoting a more equitable distribution of national income across society.

The integration and challenges of digital economy with the tourism industry: Evidence from the Yellow River Basin in China

As the global economic landscape evolves, the digital economy becomes a central domain, gradually deepening and widening its confluence with diverse fields. This study aims to systematically explain the intricacies and dynamics of the amalgamation of the digital economy with tourism within the Yellow River Basin. The study builds an evaluative framework based on integrative development mechanisms; this study measures the combined development between the tourism industry and the digital economy between 2011 and 2021. After this quantification, it delves into their unified growth spatiotemporal nuances and discerns impediments based on an obstacle degree analysis. As far as development is concerned, a paradigm of “dual-track convergence” is observed in the Basin, showcasing the gradual ascension of digitalization and diversification of tourism. Regarding the coupling coordination degree (CCD), the nexus between the two exhibits temporal dynamics of a “spiral ascent followed by a transient descent” and a spatial “U-shaped differentiation,” undoubtedly reflecting the vivacity and heterogeneity inherent in their integration.Regarding impediments, the analysis reveals a multifaceted dynamism of barriers across various strata. Systemically, the tourism sector encounters escalating hindrances, with digital infrastructure and market breadth constituting predominant sectoral bottlenecks. On the indicator plane, critical limiting factors include tourism's foreign exchange earnings, the influx of inbound tourists, the proliferation of web pages, e-commerce turnover, and the count of corporate entities within the software and information technology services domain. This study is based on the theory of collaborative development and offers nuanced recommendations by dissecting the co-progress of tourism and the digital economy. The insights tendered herein profoundly impact China and the global community in fostering the common proliferation in both fields.

The Forecasting of TheNumber Tourists Arriving in Turkey with Intuitionistic Fuzzy Regression Functions Approach

The impacts of the tourism sector on countries are felt in various areas such as economy, cultural heritage and social development. Tourism contributes significantly to a country's foreign exchange earnings and positively affects the trade network. Tourists' spending boosts local economies and increases employment. These effects are particularly important for Turkey. Tourist visits can be used as a tool for regional promotion. Therefore, tourism demand forecasting is necessary to make the best use of these positive effects on Turkey's economic development and to plan tourism activities. Artificial neural network methods and fuzzy systems for time series forecasting problem are frequently used analysis methods in recent years. In this study, the time series of the total number of tourists visiting Turkey on a monthly basis is analyzed with the intuitionistic fuzzy regression functions approach, which is a generalization of the fuzzy regression functions approach. The analysis performance of the intuitionistic fuzzy regression functions approach is evaluated using fuzzy regression functions approach, multilayer perceptron artificial neural network and multiplicative neuron model artificial neural networks. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that the intuitionistic fuzzy regression approach produces better forecasting results than both some artificial neural network models and the fuzzy regression functions approach. Since this is the first time that the intuitionistic fuzzy regression functions approach has been used in forecasting the number of tourists, the study aims to contribute to the literature and to help tourism industry employees to be more efficient and successful by providing them with the opportunity to make better future planning.
