There is no evidence of a significant impact of recession periods on currency value for both private and public debt estimations.

Food security and its maintenance are key concerns of developing countries. India was primarily an agricultural economy like many other developing countries as its agriculture sector has a greater share in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. The understanding of foodgrain production is substantial to administer the food security level of the country. The present paper aims to analyze the growth of foodgrains production in India. The paper also assesses the current status of foodgrain production in India and identifies the factors that have an impact on the growth of foodgrain production. The data relating to the area, production, and yield of major food grains in India for the period 2010-11 to 2020-21 is collected from various secondary sources. The percentile method is used to analyze the data. The results highlighted that the production of wheat and rice has increased year by year, whereas the production of coarse cereals and pulses fluctuates. It was found that the overall foodgrain production has been on a rising trend with a minor variation in the study period. The present study may persuade policymakers to re-examine and modify the current policies to increase the production of foodgrain, which could meet the food requirements of the country.\"","PeriodicalId":44825,"journal":{"name":"ECONOMIC AFFAIRS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48520324","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 findings were showed that farm size has a significant negative relationship with total labour absorption in all agro-climatic regions at the state level except the transitional plain region. The cropping intensity showed a positive association with the total labour utilization in arid western and northern region, transitional plain regions, semi-arid and flood-prone eastern plain and humid south and eastern plain region. The per hectare absorption of tractor hours was displayed a significant negative relationship with the total labour utilization in all the agro-climatic regions with the state level. Expenditure on animal feeds showed a significant positive association with the total human labour utilization in all the agro-climatic regions with the state level except semi-arid and flood-prone eastern plain region. It was observed that the total labour utilization showed a significantly positive relationship with irrigation intensity in arid western and northern region and humid south and eastern plain region.

The article examines financial and economic instruments that can be used to support economic recovery in Ukraine after the war international financial aid and investments. The authors claim that the effective use of these tools can contribute to a rapid and sustainable economic recovery in Ukraine. The article presented the methodology and results of the research of literary sources with the aim of substantiating and describing the management models of economic systems in the post-war period, considering the requirements for reconstruction. An analysis of the world experience of post-war reconstruction was carried out and differences between the situation in Ukraine and similar processes in Europe were determined. The advantages and disadvantages of management models of economic systems were studied, and the grouping of КРІ factors was carried out. The methods of economic and mathematical modeling were used to form the information and analytical support of the models. The methodology for calculating the integral coefficient of the assessment of the effectiveness of the economic system in the post-war period, which is formed by structuring the basic coefficients and weighting coefficients of the КРІ factors, has been developed. The proposed evaluation system is proposed as hypothetically possible for practical application, and to confirm the relevance and adequacy of the model and methodology, the calculation of the integral coefficient of evaluation of the effectiveness of the economic system in the post-war period by the regions of Ukraine was carried out. The results of the research were used to form a geographical map of the zoning of the regions of Ukraine that were most affected by the war and need support, investment, and recovery mechanisms. The study confirmed that the success of post-war reconstruction depends on the efficiency of the economic system and its ability to attract investment to create the conditions for development. The result of the research is the development of methodological recommendations for the optimization of economic activity management mechanisms during post-war recovery, which can be applied in КРІs is periods and adapted to a specific situation.\"","PeriodicalId":44825,"journal":{"name":"ECONOMIC AFFAIRS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44828960","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 overall net returns were ` 235/ bag/ cycle of Shiitake with rate of return on capital of 1.93 showing the economic viability of the enterprise. It was also found that larger units of Shiitake mushroom were more viable and economically sound as compared to smaller and medium units.

Cobb- Douglas production function was used to determine the factors affecting the yield of cabbage in both zones. It has been observed that seed, fertilizer, FYM, irrigation and Labour were significantly affecting the production but plant protection chemical was not found significant. Efficiency ratio for cabbage in case of fertilizer, showed a negative impact on gross returns. It shows the overutilization of seed and fertilizer and adjustment in seed and fertilizer value is required. The findings of the study strongly recommend the optimum use of the resources in order to attain desired increase in cabbage cultivation and ultimately the productivity.
