Shrimp has become a popular seafood delicacy across the world. Shrimp is one of the widely traded seafood items and shrimp farming has created huge employment opportunities and gives foreign exchange to developing Nations. Shrimp exports have grown substantially with the introduction of Litopenaeus vannamei in India. The study analyses the economics of shrimp production and the constraints faced by the shrimp farmers in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. The economic analysis indicated that shrimp farmers have realized average gross returns of Rs.24,48,000 per hectare and average net return of Rs.8,71,038.58 per hectare. Disease problem and high feed cost were the major constraints faced by the farmers in the shrimp production.The results would help the policy makers in formulating suitable programs and devising strategies for increasing production of shrimp in Tamil Nadu.

Abstract. The development of palm-oil plantations aims to create employment opportunities, improve the prosperity of community and income country. However, palm-oil plantation waste in the form of fronds has not been optimally managed. The aims of this research is to study of palm-oil fronds management feasibility in palm-oil plantations to be compost and mulch. The goals of this research is to study of palm-oil fronds management feasibility in palm-oil plantations to be compost and mulch. The study was conducted on one of the palm-oil plantations in West Aceh District. The techno-economic feasibility study refers to the use of all the necessary equipment and machinery in the management of palm-oil fronds. Factors to be considered in techno-economic analysis are NPV, Net B/C, IRR, Payback Period and BEP. The palm-oil plantation area studied is 576 ha which has the potential to produce as palm-oil fronds as much as 781 unit/day. Palm-oil fronds management uses two scenarios: centralized management scenarios (designed for only one processing unit) and decentralization (designed into two processing units). The results show that the techno-economic criteria of NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period and BEP for scenario one are Rp 766,518,333; 1.25; 25%; 8.09 years; 23,290.72 tons, respectively. The techno-economic criteria of NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period and BEP for scenario two are Rp 487,406,792; 1.07; 15%; 14.23 years; 40,935.51 tons, respectively. The value of these techno-economic criteria suggests that the management of palm-oil fronds from centralized scenarios is more feasible to undertake than the decentralization scenario. Studi Kelayakan Tekno-Ekonomi Pengelolaan Pelepah Sawit Menjadi Kompos dan Mulsa di Kabupaten Aceh Barat Abstrak. Pengembangan perkebunan kelapa sawit bertujuan untuk menciptakan kesempatan kerja, meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan sektor penghasil devisa negara. Namun, Limbah perkebunan kelapa sawit berupa pelepah sawit belum dikelola secara optimal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan kajian kelayakan tekno-ekonomi dari pengelolaan limbah pelepah sawit menjadi kompos dan mulsa. Kajian dilaksanakan pada salah satu perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Studi kelayakan tekno-ekonomi merujuk pada penggunaan seluruh alat dan mesin yang diperlukan dalam pengelolaan limbah pelepah sawit tersebut. Faktor yang dipertimbangkan diantara adalah NPV, Net B/C, IRR, Payback Period dan BEP. Luas perkebunan yang dikaji adalah 576 ha yang berpotensi menghasilkan pelepah sawit sebanyak 781 pelepah/hari. Potensi limbah pelepah sawit tersebut ditangani dengan dua skenario yaitu skenario pengelolaan sentralisasi (didesain hanya satu unit pengolahan) dan desentralisasi (didesain menjadi dua unit pengolahan). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kriteria tekno-ekonomi NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period dan BEP untuk skenario satu masing-masing adalah Rp 766,518,333; 1.25; 25%; 8.09 tahun; 23,290.72 ton. Kriteria tekno-ekonomi NPV, Net B/C, IRR, payback period dan BEP untuk skenario dua masing-masing adalah Rp 487,406,792; 1.07; 15%; 14,23 tahun; 40,935.51 ton. Nilai kriteria tekno-ekonomi ini mengisyaratkan bahwa pengelolaan pelepah sawit skenario sentralisasi lebih layak untuk dilakukan dari pada skenario desentralisasi.

This paper presents an economic assessment of the current refugee influx to Austria. Conclusions that can be drawn from Swedish experience suggest below average labour force integration of refugees, particularly in the first years after arrival. The skill composition of refugees is taken from surveys. The simulation model PuMA suggests a considerable employment increase, particularly of the unskilled workforce. This rise in employment remains, however, significantly below the number of additional refugees. The unemployment rate rises and is concentrated upon the refugees, but to a smaller extent unskilled residents are affected as well. Furthermore, wage developments of unskilled residents are below average. GDP per capita is negatively affected as a result of below average productivity and employment opportunities of refugees.

The present study was designed to assess the comparative profitability of selected winter vegetables: namely tomato, cauliflower and cabbage. In total, 90 farmers (30 each growing tomato, cauliflower and cabbage) were randomly selected from two villages under Shibpur Upazila in Narsingdi district. Both tabular and quantitative analyses were done to achieve the major objectives of the study. The major findings of the study revealed that production of all the selected vegetables were profitable. The per hectare gross cost of production of tomato, cauliflower and cabbage were Tk. 118000, 116977 and 120522, respectively and the corresponding gross returns were Tk. 217020, 210000 and 220000, respectively. The per hectare net returns of producing tomato, cauliflower and cabbage were Tk. 97000, 93023 and 99478, respectively. In other words, all the selected winter vegetables were highly profitable to the farmers. However, the farmers earned the highest profit from cabbage. The revenue type Cobb-Douglas production function analysis indicated that per hectare gross returns were significantly influenced by the use of human labour, tillage, seeds, fertilizers, irrigation and insecticides. These factors were directly or jointly responsible for influencing the per hectare gross returns of tomato, cauliflower and cabbage. The study reported some problems and constraints which are related to production and marketing of these vegetables. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations were made to improve cultural and management practices for selected winter vegetables farming with a view to increase the income and employment opportunities of the farmers.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v9i2.11036   J.
