This poor agricultural funding has an impact on economic activities. Thus, this study investigated the connection between agricultural funding and economic performance in Cross Rivers State's Obudu Local Government Area (LGA). The survey study methodology was employed, and a questionnaire was used as its primary data source, combined with a stratified sample technique. The targeted population was restricted to farmers and agriculturalists in the study area. Descriptive statistics, such as frequency and percentages tables, were calculated, and the data gathered from the questionnaire were compiled, computed, and analysed. The results of hypothesis testing showed a relationship between agricultural finance and economic performance, as well as a connection between agricultural credit schemes and agricultural sector expansion, using analysis of variance (ANOVA) as the statistical technique. They also showed that credit programmes for agricultural finance encourage the expansion of the agricultural sector, which improves economic performance, as manifested in economic growth and development. The study recommends, firstly, that the government release grants to farmers at regular intervals to support their activities. Secondly, it is necessary to raise the level and size of agricultural loans through the reduction of interest rates to allow for more economic development in the country. The government should implement an effective and efficient supervisory framework to monitor interest rate regulation within the agricultural loan policy.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88396938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agricultural commercialization involves producing agricultural products for financial gain and market purposes beyond family consumption. Indigenous foods have vast societal benefits, including cultural, employment, medicinal, food security-related, nutritional, and financial. However, indigenous food consumption and demand are constantly declining because exotic foods are replacing them, despite recent campaigns for their increased commercialization. The study investigates the challenges associated with indigenous food commercialization, possible pathways to commercialization, and the role of the government in commercializing indigenous food. It offers a hypothesized structure and essential blueprint for sustainable indigenous food (crop) commercialization. The methodology involved a review of the literature using various search engines, scholarly sites, and print books, combining quantitative and qualitative research. Scaling indigenous food for sustainable commercialization beyond dependency on the wild product takes specific steps, including domestication, certification, and effective government-private collaboration. Policies to improve the sustainability of indigenous food are urgently required to save them from extinction and meet future demand. Many indigenous foods are hindered by low-status perception, poor value addition, inadequate knowledge of their potential, lack of market penetration, and global acceptability challenges. Indigenous food commercialization lacks a holistic and systematic approach involving careful planning, procedural steps, and an aggressive market-spreading mechanism for global adoption. An excellent strategic relationship between government and stakeholders is a prerequisite for indigenous food commercialization, but the onus is on the government to commit to indigenous food commercialization programs.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76168167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the adoption of mobile phone technology is considered an important factor in enhancing farmers' access to knowledge of the agricultural market situation. This paper studies the determinants of smartphone adoption in agricultural production and examines the roles smartphone use plays in promoting agricultural firms’ performance. We collected research data from 389 agricultural households in Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam. We considered the impacts of both farmer and farm characteristics on the adoption of smartphones in agriculture. The farmers’ characteristics we examined included the influences of age, education, and gender. For the farm characteristics, we considered the impacts of farm size, farm diversification, and farm location. Using the PLS-SEM method, the results showed that gender had no impact on household smartphone adoption in agricultural production, while education, farm size, farm diversification, and farm location each had a positive effect on smartphone adoption. Farmer age and farm location both impeded smartphone adoption. In addition, as per our expectation, the use of smartphones in agricultural production helped increase the farm’s financial performance. Based on these findings, we offer suggestions to policymakers and researchers in the field of agriculture technologies.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86555747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, efforts are constrained by the disparity in resource endowment and technology. This study aimed to analyse technical, technological, and managerial gaps in sugarcane farming in different areas of East Java. The study used primary data collected through a survey during the 2019/2020 sugarcane planting season in Malang, Kediri, and Mojokerto Regencies. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on inputs and outputs. A meta-frontier data envelopment analysis (meta-DEA) approach was used to measure the technical efficiency of sugarcane farming in each research area. The decomposition using meta-DEA showed that, on average, the meta-technical inefficiency of sugarcane farmers was caused mainly by managerial gaps, as the average managerial gap inefficiency (MGI) was more significant than the technological gap inefficiency (TGI). Malang regency showed the largest TGI and MGI, indicating that sugarcane farmers in Malang regency have lower managerial skills for decision-making and a lower level of production technology compared to the other two regions. Based on the findings of this study, the government should improve technological innovation to mitigate the technology gap that was found in our research location.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81181318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was conducted in Mertajati Village, Sausu Subdistrict, Parigi Moutong Regency, Indonesia, from August to December 2019. The study used a two-factor randomized block design (RBD). The first factor is the dose of NPK, which consists of three levels, i.e., NPK 200 kg/ha-1, NPK 400 kg/ha-1, and NPK 600 kg/ha-1. The second factor is the concentration of LOF, which also consists of three concentration levels, i.e., without LOF, 2.5% LOF, and 5.0% LOF. The results revealed that the effects of LOF addition were the same for each dose of NPK and increasing the dose of NPK required an increase in the concentration of LOF. A dose of 400 kg ha-1 NPK fertilizer resulted in better growth and a higher yield, indicated by taller plants, higher panicles (19.53 panicles), and higher dry grain production (7.69 ton/ha-1). The application of 2.5% liquid organic fertilizer resulted in better growth and a higher yield, indicated by taller plants, a higher number of tillers, faster flowering, more panicles per clump (19.72 panicles/clump-1), a higher number of grains per panicle, a higher pithy grain weight (30.26 grams/1000 grains), and higher yields (7.79 tons/ha-1).","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78566019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the rice seed systems, storage methods of the harvested rice grains, and degree of fungal contamination of stored rice seeds in the major rice-producing counties of Liberia: Lofa, Bong, Montserrado, and Nimba. A mixed data collection method, comprising interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) was adopted. Five hundred (500) farmers were purposefully selected for one-on-one interviews, and 12 FGDs were held (three in each county). The results indicated that 94.7% of farmers source seeds through informal channels. Grain for use as seed in the subsequent farming season is mainly stored in kitchen attics, a practice reported by 83.8% of the farmers, while 7.8%, 3.8%, and 4.6% of farmers stored seeds in plastic containers, nylon sacks, and jute bags, respectively. Land size was identified as the primary factor determining rice yield across the studied counties, R2 = 0.944, p = 0.001. Farmers in high-rainfall regions had a high likelihood of experiencing fungal infections on their stored grains; however, only 19.6% of farmers were aware of the health implications of consuming affected grains. Therefore, policies and support frameworks should be directed towards actualizing modern seed channels and extension services and creating awareness of the different nodes of the rice value chain.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90726237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part of the study, participants’ views on the three variables were explored through focus groups and interviews (N = 103). Next, construct measures for each scenario were modeled in a self-administered survey questionnaire (N = 211). Farmers, traditional leaders, and key informants in the Vhembe and Mopani districts of Limpopo province, South Africa, provided data for the study. It emerged that of the five identified TLI roles, four had a significant impact on the success and sustainability of agriculture projects. Promoting social capital (networks, partnerships, and collaborations) among farmers and development actors had the greatest effect. The barriers to institutional effectiveness were significant and moderated how the TLI influenced rural agriculture success. Resultantly, the impact of institutional contributions on agriculture remained negative despite improved participation by the TLI. Minimizing the effects of the identified barriers while enhancing the institutional capacity to promote the success and sustainability of rural agriculture is recommended.","PeriodicalId":36876,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88076855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
