Land access, livelihoods, and dietary diversity in a fragile setting in northern Uganda

Food systems in fragile contexts are hardly investigated. We examined the crop value chain activities, agriculture income, coping strategy, and food consumption score (FCS) among South Sudan refugees (n = 394; refugee HH) and Uganda host communities (n = 420; host HH) living on the northern border of Uganda. Secondary data analysis was conducted using baseline data collected from an NGO-supported project. Linear regression analysis was conducted to test the association between the type of crop for growing and selling, agriculture income, coping strategy, and FCS in the refugee HH and host HH, separately. The mean number of growing and selling crops was 2.7 (SD 1.7) and 0.6 (1.0) in the refugee HH and 3.6 (1.4) and 1.3 (1.1) in the host HH. Overall food insecurity and FCS was poor in both refugee and host HH. Larger land access was associated with diverse crop production and crop selling in both groups (p < 0.05). The greater number of crop types grown was marginally associated with FCS in host HH only (β = 1.00; p = 0.05). Selling more types of crops was associated with agriculture income in both groups (p < 0.05) and was not related to rCSI in either group, but marginally associated with FCS among only host HH (β = 0.84; p = 0.04). An inequitable food system existed between the host community and South Sudan refugees residing on the northern border of Uganda. The findings suggest that diversifying crops for selling and enhancing marketing channels could aid both host and refugee communities in establishing resilient food systems.

Unleashing the circular economy in the electric vehicle battery supply chain: A case study on data sharing and blockchain potential

Electric vehicles are perceived as a key technology to make mobility more sustainable, leading to a sharp rise in electric battery production and use. However, electric vehicle batteries are only a sustainable solution if they support decreasing the total impact of the supply chain, which makes circularity initiatives a key element in this transition. Currently, this is limited by the data sharing among actors in the supply chain on critical information needed to support a circular economy approach. In this study we explore how data sharing and information technology support the development of circularity in electric vehicle supply chains and examine the role of blockchain technology to address the circularity needs of battery tracking and capability sharing. To allow a comprehensive analysis, we conduct a case study in the electric vehicle battery supply chain, including companies from multiple tiers to capture all relevant perspectives. The results show that data sharing supports extended value chain activities, evolving from a linear to a circular supply chain perspective. It also indicates that blockchain technology supports removing existing barriers for a circular economy by facilitating transparency and traceability, especially for second-life applications beyond the dominant players in this industry.

MODELING STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

This paper proposes a knowledge-based customer-centric strategic model to respond to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in the supply chain management (SCM) context. The proposed model strives to leverage knowledge-based distinctive core competencies (DCCs) to improve customer satisfaction and achieve SCA. An exploratory research design has been adopted. The study undertook a systematic literature review approach with 36 articles or books published between 1970 and 2020 to construct the strategic planning model. The paper presents an integrated multi-dimensional model for SCM, including value chain activities, competitiveness strategies, business process re-engineering (BPR), and SCA. The practical result of the article is to develop a theoretical strategic planning model for SCM as a holistic framework for using the company’s DCCs and creating an SCA in a highly competitive and dynamic business environment. The proposed model comprehensively covers the supply chain (SC)’s competitive advantage strategy. For businesses that tend to adapt and triumph, the proposed model helps reduce order cycle times, reduce inventory levels, increase accuracy and efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer service and satisfaction.

Two sides of the same coin: The economic and environmental effects of China's international trade from a global value chain perspective

China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has led to rapid economic growth and international trade development. However, China is also challenged with a heavy environmental burden due to the massive carbon emissions transferred through trade. By splitting production activities into traditional trade and global value chain (GVC) activities, this paper uses an intercountry input-output (ICIO) framework to study the imbalances of the economic and environmental effects between China's imports and exports at different levels. We define the indices value added per embodied emission in imports and exports (VPM and VPX, respectively). Additionally, we find a large gap between China's VPM and VPX, primarily because developed economies gain much higher value added per embodied emission than China gained through exports in GVC activities. Then, we study how to narrow the gap between China's VPM and VPX. The application of multiplicative structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and the logarithmic mean Divisia index I (LMDI-I) approach reveals the total and bilateral-sectoral contributions of the driving factor effects to the changes in China's VPM and VPX. The results provide tailored implications for promoting the comprehensive economic and environmental benefits of China's imports and exports.

The Costs of Environmental Failure and The Impact of The Green Value Chain in Reducing Them

The research aims to apply the activities of the green value chain as one of the modern administrative techniques that economic units resort to develop solutions to the pollution problems that occur due to the activity of economic units and their products that may cause damage to the environment as well as the waste of natural resources and to identify the production of environmentally friendly products and reduce the costs of environmental failure of both types Internal and external that may be borne by economic units such as taxes, fines and compensation due to non- observance of environmental requirements and the preservation of human health and protection of the environment.To achieve the goal of the research, the researchers relied on the descriptive analytical approach of the theoretical side by relying on Arabic and foreign books, letters, university theses, articles, research and periodicals related to the topic of the research. Engineers and employees of the aforementioned company.The study concluded a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that there is an effect of green value chain activities in reducing the costs of environmental failure if mechanisms and materials that take into account the environment and human health are used by reducing waste and recycling products to preserve the environment and natural resources. In light of these conclusions, many recommendations were reached, the most important of which is that the economic units must apply value chain activities when producing products to obtain environmentally friendly, non- polluting products that do not cause harm to humans and contribute to avoiding economic units from being subjected to fines, taxes and penalties by complying with the requirements Environmental.

BLOCKCHAIN DRIVEN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: A NEW FRONTIER

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the impact blockchain technology has on international business. There are great opportunities for incorporating the blockchain within global value chain activities and cross-border trade facilitation, along with business functions across borders – i.e., blockchain driven international business (BDIB). The paper posits that while initial investments in BDIB would be higher, there would be better performance realized over the long term. It is critical, then, to better understand and research the incorporation of this technology across the various needs of multinational enterprises (MNEs) as well as international small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Implications are discussed. Keywords Blockchain, Global Value Chains, International Business

An analysis of the broiler value chain and economics of broiler production in Senegal: status quo after two decades of import restrictions

PurposeThis study analyzed the state of broiler production in Senegal after nearly two decades of poultry import restrictions. It provides a synopsis of the Senegalese broiler value chain and evaluates the performance and economics of different broiler farm types.Design/methodology/approachA multi-stakeholder workshop and interviews were conducted with key informants to investigate the structure and activities of the Senegalese broiler value chain. The typical farm approach (TFA) was used to construct and analyze “typical” farms that represent the most common broiler production systems in Senegal.FindingsThe current situation in the Senegalese broiler value chain is favorable for hatcheries, feed mills, producers and poultry traders. However, the slaughterhouses are not faring well. The farm economic analysis demonstrates that typical medium-scale broiler farms are performing well, due to the use of high-quality feed, chicks and good husbandry. Additionally, the analysis revealed that feed and day-old chick (DOC) costs are the most significant in conventional broiler production in Senegal. Despite the high costs of feed and DOCs, broiler production is profitable for typical farms.Research limitations/implicationsAthough this study provides detailed insights into broiler farm economics in Senegal, it does not include typical integrated large-scale broiler farm-types. Based on our findings, we can predict that such farm types may be more efficient and have lower production costs due to the use of high-quality inputs (chicks and feed), and economies of scale. However, future studies will need to verify this prediction.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, only a few unpublished studies on broiler farm economics in Senegal exist. These studies only provide a basic analysis of the cost of production and profitability, with little consideration of various production systems. Contrastingly, this study provides a detailed economic analysis of different types of conventional broiler farms in key production regions.

Inter-and intra-Asian regional value chains: Identifying country characteristics

Based on the decomposition of trade-related production activities in the global value chain, we analyze the characteristics of Asian countries from inter- and intra- Asian regional value chain (ARVC) perspectives between 2009 and 2019. Then, we investigate how Asian countries’ inter- and intra-ARVC positions influence their gross output in the global value chain. The results illustrate that the inter-ARVC position is positively correlated to the gross output for countries with large economies of scale. Furthermore, the inter-ARVC position is employed as the threshold variable to evaluate Asian countries’ performance in the intra-ARVC. When their inter-ARVC position is below the threshold value, increasing the intra-ARVC position cannot increase their gross output for all Asian countries. Countries with large economies of scale could benefit through intra-ARVC with a higher threshold value of inter-ARVC position compared with countries with small economies of scale.

Pharma-cartography: Navigating the complexities of antibiotic supply to rural livestock in West Bengal, India, through value chain and power dynamic analysis.

Antibiotic resistance threatens provision of healthcare and livestock production worldwide with predicted negative socioeconomic impact. Antibiotic stewardship can be considered of importance to people living in rural communities, many of which depend on agriculture as a source of food and income and rely on antibiotics to control infectious diseases in livestock. Consequently, there is a need for clarity of the structure of antibiotic value chains to understand the complexity of antibiotic production and distribution in community settings as this will facilitate the development of effective policies and interventions. We used a value chain approach to investigate how relationships, behaviours, and influences are established during antibiotic distribution. Interviews were conducted with key informants (n = 17), value chain stakeholders (n = 22), and livestock keeping households (n = 36) in Kolkata, and two rural sites in West Bengal, India. Value chain mapping and an assessment of power dynamics, using manifest content analysis, were conducted to investigate antibiotic distribution and identify entry points for antibiotic stewardship. The flow of antibiotics from manufacturer to stockists is described and mapped and two local level maps showing distribution to final consumers presented. The maps illustrate that antibiotic distribution occurred through numerous formal and informal routes, many of which circumvent antibiotic use legislation. This was partly due to limited institutional power of the public sector to govern value chain activities. A 'veterinary service lacuna' existed resulting in livestock keepers having higher reliance on private and informal providers, who often lacked legal mandates to prescribe and dispense antibiotics. The illegitimacy of many antibiotic prescribers blocked access to formal training who instead relied on mimicking the behaviour of more experienced prescribers-who also lacked access to stewardship guidelines. We argue that limited institutional power to enforce existing antibiotic legislation and guide antibiotic usage and major gaps in livestock healthcare services make attempts to curb informal prescribing unsustainable. Alternative options could include addressing public sector deficits, with respect to both healthcare services and antibiotic provision, and by providing resources such as locally relevant antibiotic guidelines to all antibiotic prescribers. In addition, legitimacy of informal prescribers could be revised, which may allow formation of associations or groups to incentivise good antibiotic practices.

Influence of International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) on Value Chain Activities of Members of Cooperative Societies in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria

This study investigated the influence of international fund for agricultural development (IFAD) on value chain of farmer’s cooperative members in Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State. The researcher set to determine the influence of IFAD on the production patterns of farm crops, on the processing techniques for farm crops and on the marketing systems for farm crops in the study area. To guide this study, three research questions and three research hypotheses were formulated in line with the objectives of the study. The study was anchored on Porter’s Value Chain (1985). The study employed a descriptive survey design, the instrument for data collection was questionnaire constructed for the study and calibrated with the 5-point Likert ordinal measurement and rating scale. The population of the study was 268 selected multipurpose cooperatives members in Awka NORth local Government Area of Anambra State. The sample size used was 160 cooperative members using Taro Yamane formula. Adopting a judgmental sampling technique, 160 questionnaires was distributed and 132 copies of questionnaire were completed and returned and used for this study which represent 82.5% response rate. Research hypotheses were tested using Z-Test. The finding revealed that there is a significant influence of IFAD on production pattern in the study area with a p-value 0.0177 (p < 0.05). With a p-value 0.0142 (p < 0.05) indicating a significant influence of IFAD on processing techniques in the study area and with a p-value 0.0162 (p < 0.05) indicating that there is a significant influence of IFAD on marketing systems in the study area. The study recommends that the IFAD should do more in giving financial assistance the women network to have more financial backing which will enable them produce more food and, to organize more workshops, lectures, seminars, conferences among others for farmers.Majority of the farmers are illiterate, adult education programmes should be mounted for them in their various communities and prize awarded for good work. These will help them to understand how to use new agricultural techniques and understand instruction on agricultural handouts and Aspects of agricultural production that are largely the responsibility of farmers must be given adequate attention. Such areas include, for example, food crop production, livestock production, processing, storage and marketing of agricultural produce, pest and disease control

Income and Value Chain Activities in Informal Solid Waste Collection in Tandale, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

This study investigated on income and value chain activities in informal solid waste collection in Tandale, Dar es Salaam. The study involved the samples of 83 individuals using a non-probability purposive technique. Data was collected using a closed questionnaire and open ended interview guide. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study established that the youth engaged in the informal solid waste collection without knowledge and skills on the use of personal protective equipment in executing the waste collection. Young people engaged in the informal solid waste collection regardless their gender age and education status. However, participation varied according to gender as males highly engaged compared to females. The decrease of number of waste collector was proportional to the increase of age. While primary education holders were leading in the informal solid waste collection, even university graduates participated. While the youth engaged in the informal solid collection were less respected by community members, they perceived source of income as a driving factor for engaging in solid waste collection. However, the amount generated was very minimal for sustainability especially in undertaking obligatory life requirements such as food, health care and personal servings. The study recommends that the government should set appropriate policies and strategies in running waste management so that it can attract all age groups as a source of employment.

ANALISIS RANTAI NILAI KOPI PONOROGO

Indonesia currently has four well-known coffee centers such as Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, North Sumatra, South Sulawesi and East Java, especially in Ponorogo district. Ponorogo regency coffee production currently has a decline from 2012, this is because many damaged crops are attacked by pests. Until now, coffee farmers still treat coffee beans in moderation and their sales are still low, because they are still sold to traditional markets and coffee shops around Ponorogo. So that it allows the value chain that occurs in the production process to sales to consumers. The value chain will later break down the activities into Primary Activities and Support Activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the value cain activity of the value chain Activity which converts input into value added output for consumers. The results of the research on the Ponorogo coffee value chain are that the Ponorogo coffee value chain structure consists of farmers as suppliers, Reog Coffee as manufacturers, and buyers or visitors as consumers, while those who support the Plantation Office and Reog Coffee as post-harvest coffee supervisors. Primary activities include, harvesting fruit and procurement of raw materials as inbound logistics. Red sorting, mininghulling, washing mucus, drying, storing, pulping, roasting, resting, storing and packaging asstages operation.

The level of sales of Rajapolah handicrafts has not returned to normal since the pandemic emerged, this is supported by the fact that 63% of MSMEs have difficulty running company operations. Based on the internal analysis of the value chain produces 9 resources and 13 capabilities in increasing customer value.

Value Chain and Business Development Strategy of MOCAF Cap Kujang in Sumedang Regency

MOCAF Cap Kujang is one of the MOCAF (Modified Cassava Flour) produced in Sumedang that has been produced since 2012, but until now, the business development is still limited. The challenges in MOCAF Cap Kujang are the limited availability of raw materials, the lack of intensive marketing, and the government has not paid attention to the MOCAF business in Sumedang. This study aims to analyze value chain activities in MOCAF Cap Kujang, identify internal and external factors that influence the MOCAF Cap Kujang business, and determine the business development strategy for the MOCAF Cap Kujang business. The method used for value chain analysis was Porter's model and Hayami Method. Internal factor analysis was carried out using IFE, and external factors using EFE. The results of IFE and EFE were used to formulate strategies on the SWOT matrix. The resulting strategy was then prioritized using the AHP method. The study's results showed that value chain activities in the MOCAF Cap Kujang business consist of primary activities and supporting activities that generate added value at MOCAF by Rp1000/kg (33.33%). The main strength is the clean white of MOCAF Cap Kujang, and the main weakness is that MOCAF Cap Kujang's price is higher than other MOCAFs. The main opportunity of MOCAF Cap Kujang is that MOCAF can be a substitute for wheat for people who cannot consume gluten and the main threat is the lower price of wheat flour. MOCAF Cap Kujang's business development strategy prioritizes cooperation with various parties.

Analysis of The Efficiency of Value Chain on Livestock (Case Study: Chicken Meat)

In health, livestock products are a source of animal protein which is important for human health. However, in its development, there is a problem of inefficiency in the value chain of livestock products. This study used a case study on the chicken meat value chain. The research objective was to identify the value chain flow of chicken meat, identify the types of inefficient activities, and measure the level of inefficiency of each of these activities. The research method used is Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA). The research was conducted in two stages. The first stage is carried out through observation to identify value chain flows and types of inefficient activities. The second stage is used to conduct an assessment so that the results of the inefficiency level are obtained. The results showed that there were several actors in the chicken meat value chain, including breeders, chicken distributors, chicken slaughter companies, chicken meat distributors, and chicken meat retailers. Overall, there are 25 inefficient activities in the chicken meat value chain. Activities with a high level of inefficiency occur in the process of slaughtering chickens. Therefore, the process of slaughtering chickens needs to be a priority for improvement in the future

Analyzing the value chain for vegetables in the North-Eastern part of Bangladesh

This paper aims to explore the value chain of vegetables with the explicit objectives of observing actors’ performance in the chain and examining vegetable supply factors in the market. The primary data were gathered from 150 value chain actors in the North-Eastern part of Bangladesh, using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The major actors were input suppliers, producers, local traders (Paiker-1/Bepari, Arathdar, and Paiker cum retailers), and retailers. Input supply, production, marketing, and consumption were the typical value chain activities. Before reaching the end-users, a minimum value has been added to the products. A local trader named Paiker-1/Bepari governed the chain. They had a capital advantage over the other traders. The regression models’ outcomes showed that marketable supply was significantly affected by the quantity of production and distance to market in tomato, cabbage, and cauliflower. However, in the case of beans, it was considerably affected by output, remoteness from the marketplace, and access to training.

A conceptual framework of quality cost chain in strategic cost management

PurposeThis study aims to discover a practical and effective way to apply the quality cost concept in Strategic Cost Management (SCM) framework. The interaction of preventive, appraisal and failure (PAF) activities in a company's internal value chain will be the starting point of SCM implementation.Design/methodology/approachThis study begins by establishing value chain and quality costs as the scope of conceptual analysis. Discussions on the interrelationships between activities, quality and costs were gathered to clarify conceptual and practical gaps in the scope of the study. The PAF quality cost model is applied to find viable, practical solutions. The costs of activities will serve as performance indicators.FindingsThe PAF quality cost model depicts opportunities to lower costs and increase profit in a business simultaneously; current poor quality costs are the benchmark. Identifying PAF activities and costs in the business value chain and linking it with others is crucial in evaluating SCM applications. These linkages will generate a Quality Cost Chain (QCC). The leading indicator of improvement is a higher ratio between new possible failure costs (FC) and the combination of prevention and appraisal costs (PAC) than the current value, followed by a lower total quality cost (TQC). The subsequent attention is a lower ratio between the appraisal cost (AC) and prevention cost (PC). Mathematically, for assessing the operability of new quality-related activities, ΔPACnew < ΔFCnew, TQCnew < TQCcurrent, (FC/PC)new>(FC/PC)current and (AC/PC)new<(AC/PC)current are proposed as feasible conditional-quantitative improvement criteria.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only discusses the relationship between quality costs and activities related to quality management in the PAF quality cost model, not cost behavior. This limitation opens up opportunities for future research that intends to link QCC with cost behavior in the context of managerial accounting and Strategic Cost Management. The use of QCC in certain industrial areas is the next research opportunity. The variety of PAF activities this study addresses originates from a wide range of industrial sectors; QCC research by sector may produce unique industrial quality cost phenomena.Practical implicationsQCC will make it easier for managers to evaluate how strategically their departments or activities contribute to quality costs at the departmental or organizational level, as well as to effectively and efficiently improve quality cost performance.Originality/valueThe quality-related activity and quality cost issues are still rarely treated as subjects of research studies in the field of Strategic Cost Management. Even so, the discussion tends to be very broad, complex and difficult to apply. This study combines a simple diagrammatic and mathematical approach to simplify the discussion and, at the same time, manage the value of strategic quality management.

Factors Affecting Postharvest Losses of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and Their Mitigation Strategies

Current postharvest activities in the sesame value chain are prompting colossal losses, which reduce overall global productivity. This review portrays losses in sesame during various processing stages, from grain harvesting to marketing and transformation of crop seed into oil. Such losses in sesame not only reduce yield but also have an impact on the economy of its production territories. The loss in productivity is because the majority of farmers don’t use adequate harvesting, packaging, or handling technologies to manage on-farm produce. Also, there is a lack of knack for minimizing postharvest losses. Therefore, the study penlights the inevitability of increasing production by raising productivity and quality while giving mitigation strategies to reduce postharvest losses. Elevating standardized productivity with accurate postharvest management is the only substitute for the gap between the global productivity average and the overall production potential of sesame.

Women’s Involvement in Cassava Value Chain Activities in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria

The main purpose of this study was to investigate women’s involvement in cassava value chain activities in Akpabuyo LGA of Cross River State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to identify the major value chain activities in the study area; investigate the value chain activities participated by women in the area; identify the constraints affecting effective involvement of women in cassava value chain in the area; and evaluate possible suggestions to improve effective involvement of women in cassava value chain activities in the area. Multi-stage and purposive sampling techniques were adopted to select 216 respondents for the study. The result revealed that the major cassava value chain activities in the area were processing ( =3.07), marketing ( =2.92), production ( =2.87) and packaging ( =1.86). The findings of this research also indicated that women participate more in cassava processing ( =1.94), rank=1st), followed by production ( =1.85). The respondents indicated that lack of adequate production and processing tools ( =3.81), poor access to land ( =3.78) and lack of financial support ( =3.72), as the three most critical constraints affecting effective involvement of women in cassava value chain activities in the study area. The respondents’ suggestion to improve their involvement in cassava value chain activities revealed that financial support, ease of transportation and access to improved cassava cuttings, with means of 3.79, 3,78 and 3.63, respective, were the most rated factors. The study concluded that women in Akpabuyo local government area are significant actors in the country’s agricultural sector, particularly the cassava sub-sector, and as a result, food security. Thus, it was recommended that value chain actors and promoters should make credit facilities available to women in order to encourage their effective involvement in cassava value chain activities in the area, among others.

The Role of Corporate Governance in Achieving SDGs among Malaysian Companies

While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda is applicable to the member states of the UN, many other players are also involved, such as corporations. The primary and economic value chain activities and aims of major companies mean they will ultimately have a crucial and explicit role to play in enabling the SDGs to be attained. In Malaysia, there have been few studies on firms' engagement in reaching the SDGs. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the roles played by corporations in enabling SDGs to be attained. A specific analysis was conducted to determine if a company’s participation in the SDGs can be influenced by first-rate corporate governance. The data was collected using content analysis of 87 corporate annual reports of public listed companies from Malaysia. The boards’ independence, size, meeting frequency, and gender diversity were the corporate governance practices examined. An annual report may include details of the company’s role in the SDGs as a proxy for the corporate’s SDG involvement. The findings shed light on the nature of business involvement in the SDGs. The SGD with the most frequent reporting was Goal 8 - Decent work and economic growth, while the SDG with the most frequent reporting was Goal 2 - Zero Hunger. These results indicate that a company’s SDG participation has a positive relationship with certain governance practices of corporations, especially the board meeting frequency. Moreover, these results may serve to emphasise to regulators and policymakers that all corporations require effectual corporate governance so that the challenges facing the world and its population every day can be addressed, leading to an improved and more sustainable future for everyone. &#x0D; Keywords Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), corporate governance, Malaysia, companies, content analysis
