Application of marketing tools in agricultural land market

Goal – the issues of development of agricultural land market are considered, since this specific type of operation with land plots requires the use of marketing tools that are more adapted to modern conditions. Methods – during the research, comparative method was used, on the basis of which the state of agricultural land was analyzed using the example of the Akmola region; statistical – based on the use of statistical data on supply and demand for land for agriculture. Results – it was determined that formation and expansion of the land market is one of the most important directions of land policy in Kazakhstan. It has been revealed that land resources occupy a special place in the system of socio-economic categories. An analysis of agricultural lands was carried out, which is associated with their special significance as the most important production potential in agricultural sector. Marketing concepts– as one of the ways to develop land market are shown. It is substantiated that the main type of payment for land is currently rent, since the bulk of agricultural land (98%) is leased. Conclusions – the main provisions obtained during the study can be used as information and analytical material for developing a methodology for calculating rental payments by determining criteria for improving the consumer properties of agricultural land. The pricing process requires new approaches, in particular, the existing methodology for calculating rent on agricultural land is outdated and needs to be improved, which will help stabilize and expand the volume of agricultural production, increase the intensity and efficiency of management.

Synthesis and characterization of structural metal matrix composite using agricultural waste targeting for environmental sustainability

Coconut shell is one of the major agricultural wastes like rice husk, corn hub, groundnut shell etc., which can be found in abundance in various countries those have significant potential in agricultural sector. In the recent times, it has been found that these kind of agricultural wastes are effectively utilized by recycling them targeting for various engineering and scientific applications and in turn to achieve environmental sustainability. In the present study, the mechanical behavior of aluminum hybrid metal matrix composites reinforced with coconut shell ash (CSA) and silicon carbide is investigated. The composite specimens are fabricated by stir casting technique under normal atmospheric conditions with different weight fractions of reinforcements. The as cast specimens are heated to 500°C and maintained for four hours followed by normal cooling and subsequent aging at 170°C for two hours. Microstructural examination of the composites confirmed the uniform distribution of reinforcements and grain boundaries with no significant agglomeration. Properties such as mass density, hardness, and ultimate tensile strength are computed in order to appraise the mechanical behaviour of composites. The results revealed the fact that, with increasing the quantity of CSA in reinforcing phase, the ultimate tensile strength is increased and hardness is decreased. On the other side, the percentage of elongation is improved marginally and stiffness decreased. Inclusion of CSA offered significant influence on the mechanical behavior of Al-SiC-CSA hybrid composites. To some extent, AA 6061/CSA competes with AA 6061/SiCp in mechanical behavior rather than hybrid composites because of lack in both chemical and structural affinity between the reinforcements.

Moldovan- EU Economic Cooperation: The Role and Potential of Agricultural Sector

Agriculture is one of the most important aspects of every country's economy. The Republic of Moldova enjoys a competitive advantage in agricultural output due to its excellent soil and temperate temperature. The Association Agreement between Moldova and the European Union (EU), which was signed in 2014, greatly increased Moldovan producers' access to EU markets. The EU is Moldova's most significant economic partner, accounting for over 70% of the country's exports in 2019. In general, integrating Moldovan food producers into global value chains through supply chain connections with big retailers and exports helps them to scale up, improve productivity, and eventually contribute more to Moldova's economic growth. The developments in Moldova's agricultural and food trade following the establishment of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with the European Union are examined in this study. The study will look at Moldova's foreign trade activities from the standpoint of agriculture and food goods.

Innovation is reflected in the implementation of the strategic objectives of ensuring food security and effective regulation of the domestic food market in order to stimulate labor productivity in agriculture, increase export potential of agricultural sector. It is necessary to combine innovative activity in domestic agro-industrial production with international practice, which will increase production capacity of agrarian sector of the republic. The development trends of the world market convincingly show that there can be no other way in Kazakhstan than the formation of a new type of economy, widespread innovation.

The National Board of Zakat Republic of Indonesia Strategy in Managing the Zakat Potential in Agricultural Sector

Zakat as one of the pillars of Islam occupies a very basic and fundamental position, hence His Messenger has ordered Muslims to believe and pay zakat as a form of obedience and the continuation of a harmonious life. Based on agricultural statistics for the period 2015-2019, the agricultural is still as the most important sector in supporting national economic development and it is the sector where most of the Indonesian population works as farmers. The Indonesian people who depend on the agricultural sector are around 38.70 million people, or the equivalent of 30.46%t of the total population in Indonesia. On the other hand, so far, zakat collection has still focused on zakat on assets, income and zakat fitrah, and has not yet touched the agricultural sector massively. Meanwhile, it is known that the potential for zakat in the agricultural sector is very large and until 2018 it is estimated at IDR64.61 trillion. Based on the above, this study seeks to examine how Baznas’ strategy is to manage the potential of zakat in the agricultural sector so that it can lead to economic growth in the community, especially agricultural communities in Indonesia.
 The results show that there are several strategies implemented by Baznas in managing agricultural zakat and these have been implemented in various forms of programs such as: (i). The system for cultivating agricultural land and providing superior seeds based on zakat; (ii). Agricultural assistance program; (iii). Mustahik move to muzaki (Green Horti) Program; and (iv). Expedition of zakat and economic empowerment program. Another finding is that zakat institutions are still not maximal in conducting socialization and assistance, as well as empowering rural communities. Baznas must start optimizing the collection of agricultural zakat and need to improve performance in making innovative programs that cover all regions in Indonesia.

Optimalisasi Pembangunan Sektor Pertanian Indonesia dengan Menggunakan Sharia Agraria Manajement Organization (SAMO)

Indonesia is an agrarian country. Many Indonesians work as farmers. The agricultural sector has a great function in maintaining national food security, especially in maintaining the welfare of farmers. Interim data in 2013 show that the agricultural sector is in second position in contributing to GDP. With the existing data then the farmers should be able to live prosperous. But in reality farmers in Indonesia have problems that cause their quality of life is still far from the word worthy, such as low income and productivity, difficulties in credit applications, low education and irrigation systems that have not been optimal. Judging from the existing problems it is necessary to establish a management system that can overcome them. The purpose of this research is to optimize the potential of agricultural sector in Indonesia by using Sharia Agraria Management Organization (SAMO) by synergizing Baitul Mal Wa Tamwil (BMT) with Local Government and Central Government. This research was conducted by Meta Analysis method, based on observation and literature study, the authors conclude that with the existence of SAMO, farmers can improve their standard of living, increased productivity, and easy in the application of farming credit. It is expected that with this system can maintain the quality of the community environment and achieve the implementation of sustainable development.

For the purpose of food sovereignty, the import ration should not be exceeded 25% from overall volume of food production. The Russian Academy of Agricultural Science worked on the potential of agricultural sector, which has to be the duty-bearer of food supply security of Russia and the source of raw materials for the trade. Up to now, the Russian scientists have developed a lot of competitive varieties and hybrids, widespread commercial introduction of which is able to guarantee of high quality products.

Post-2020 Emission Projection and Potential Reduction Analysis in Agricultural Sector

In 2014, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) agreed to submit the Intended Nationality Determined Contributions (INDCs) at the conference of parties held in Lima, Peru. Then, the South Korean government submitted the INDCs including GHGs reduction target and reduction potential on July, 2015. The goal of this study is to predict GHGs emission and to analyze reduction potential in agricultural sector of Korea. Activity data to estimate GHGs emission was forecast by Korea Agricultural Simulation Model (KASMO) of Korea Rural Economic Institute and estimate methodology was taken by the IPCC and guideline for MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) of national greenhouse gases statistics of Korea. The predicted GHGs emission of agricultural sectors from 2021 to 2030 tended to decrease due to decline in crop production and its gap was less after 2025. Increasing livestock numbers such as sheep, horses, swine, and ducks did not show signigicant impact the total GHGs emission. On a analysis of the reduction potential, GHGs emission was expected to reduce 253 Gg CO₂SUB-eq/SUB. by 2030 with increase of mid-season water drainage area up to 95% of total rice cultivation area. The GHGs reduction potential with intermittent drainage technology applied to 10% of the tatal paddy field area, mid-drainage and no organic matter would be 92 Gg CO₂SUB-eq/SUB. by 2030.

Assessing Trade Potential in Agricultural Sector of Iran: Application of Gravity Model

This article attempts to assess Iran's trade potential, explore over- and under-trade countries and determine factors affecting export development by using the gravity model. Seventy countries, which are considered the major markets for Iran agricultural products, are divided into 50 developing and 20 developed ones. By using panel data during the period when the export premium was submitted (2002–2005), Iran's agricultural exports were predicted. For this purpose, equations for each group of countries regressed by applying the augmented gravity model. Finally, the results were compared with actual figures. The results showed that Iran was more over-traded with developing countries relative to developed ones. This analysis helps us to determine the proper commercial direction, assess trade potential capacity and explore effective factors on export development such as export premium. Therefore, trade flows can be improved with under-trade countries and will be supported with over-trade ones through proper policies.
