Punjab has emerged as an important rice-producing state in the country. The state with 1.53 percent of the geographical area of the country produces more than 11 percent of total rice production in the country. The production of rice in Punjab increased more than 10 times due to an increase in area and yield. The growth of a rice crop at such a high rate over 20 years in Punjab is indeed a rare phenomenon in the history of agricultural development in the world. Due to extensive cultivation of rice in Punjab, the state has been over-exploiting the groundwater, more than its recharge. Most of the tube-well dominated districts of the state, witnessed the fall in water table more than 20 to 30 cm per year. To dispose of the paddy straw, the farmers of Punjab generally opt for burning it. This practice of burning of paddy straw besides nutrient loss is posing a serious problem for the public health and transportation system. Rice has now become a problematic crop for Punjab state due to its ill effects on its natural resources, that is, the water and soil environmental degradation. The Punjab Agricultural University experts and other committees estimated that the total groundwater recharge from all sources can sustain/support only 16-17 lakh ha of paddy in Punjab. The area under the crop increased to 29 lakh ha which was unsustainable in the long run. The area under rice in Punjab should be stabilized at 16-17 lakh ha and the remaining paddy area should be shifted to other crops like pulses, oilseeds, maize, fruits, and vegetables, etc. requiringless water, to achieve proper water balance. Thus diversification of some area from paddy is in the interest of Punjab farmers, State government and the Central government for long term food security on a sustainable basis.

AbstractThis article explores the role of district government in agricultural development in Vietnam's Long An province from 1954 to the present. It argues that it is only in the reform era that the district has begun to realise its potential as a 'transmission belt' between the higher authorities and the grassroots. Under the South Vietnamese regime and in the pre-reform era of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, local initiative was stifled as policy was dictated from on high by central government, with disastrous consequences. In the reform era, district officials have been joined by 'associates of the state', such as agricultural extension officers, to develop innovative 'local' approaches to agricultural development. This has led to increased prosperity but also rising inequality. While the central government has been more willing to allow local experimentation under reform, its influence and interests are still felt, even at the district level. Most scholars emphasise a sharp break between pre-1975 and post-1975 Vietnam. By contrast, this article highlights the way in which there are important elements of continuity both between regimes and between the pre-reform and post-reform eras.

Processed Products

 The article discusses the distribution of financial resources with a preference   for land assets and production of deep processed products with the highest added value, which simultaneously increases the incomes of producers and improves government revenues by increasing tax receipts. It is noted that the progressive development of agriculture depends on the technical modernization of the industry, which also requires investment. Therefore, it is necessary to subsidize the modernization and reconstruction of fixed assets - granaries, greenhouses. Potential profit, which will become an important component of investment, can give a boost to the investment activity. An analysis was carried out on the conceptual foundations of building economic relations in modern agricultural production. The conditions for the agricultural development have been assessed, and critical insights on mechanisms for implementing state and regional target programs have been provided. In terms of a systemic approach to the State economic management, the economic processes should be considered as a system of financial relations that interacts with other systems. In this regard, the paper presents a model that reflects the conceptual framework for managing financial flows. This model provides an overview of managing economic processes, and may take into account many elements and factors.

Despite impressive performance in terms of GDP growth after the introduction of neoliberal reforms, India continues to be the home of the largest number of hungry people in the world. The present paper is an attempt to understand two interrelated issues in this context: the impact of neoliberal reforms on agricultural development and the implication of an open economic regime on food security in India. The study reveals that the austerity measures introduced by the state in the form of decline in capital formation and public sector expenditure in agriculture have undermined the livelihood of the majority of the population in India. The implementation of the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Agriculture along with the retreat of the state in the name of fiscal discipline has significantly reduced the bargaining power of the peasants in general and the food security of the majority of the population in particular.

The article is dedicated to the study of the need to intensify the state influences upon the efficiency of land resources usage. The technology of the rational land resources usage is advanced by way of reducing straw as organic fertilizer under direct contribution in the ground that provides spare facilities, raises the level to the efficiency of production, influences upon increasing of the fertility of the ground. Offences such as unauthorized seizure and misuse of land, removal of a fertile layer without permission, pollution of land, non-implementation of land reclamation cause significant damage to the state and owners of land, which leads to irreversible loss of land, quality and fertility. A methodical approach to assessing the improvement of information and analytical support for agricultural development is to create an effective system of formation, processing and transmission of analytical data of the accounting for the timely adoption of effective decisions at all levels of the agricultural sector. The result of this improved method of assessing include the issue of land conservation and rational use for the purpose of sustainable domestic land use. That is what caused the selection of research topics, defined goals, objectives and building its structure and trends.

The article analyzes the state and dynamics of the main indicators of agricultural development in the Horodok district. The national economic and ecological aspects of the development of the complex and the factors influencing its condition were studied. It was indicated on the connection of the efficiency of agricultural production with the state of soils, water, infrastructure provision and the general state of the economy of the territory. The main negative impacts of intensive agricultural development on natural ecosystems and the state of the environment are outlined. The basic link of agrosphere in the region is agriculture. In the conditions of the Horodok distric, the main risks of the development of agriculture are related with a high proportion of land involved in agriculture, and a high indicator of their rooting: environmentally sustainable systems account for less than half of all land. In addition, the aggravated structure of agro industrial production is associated with the dominant role of plant growing, which is mainly represented by monocultures, which increases the need for mineral fertilizers and pesticides, enhances instability of agro ecosystems and increases the risk of contamination of surface water in the district. In terms of efficiency and productivity, the agro complex of the district is close to the regional average. Attention is need to the poor state of infrastructure provision and the potential problems of labor resources. Strategic directions of agrosphere development today are connected with the formation of rational, ecologically safe and sustainable land use development, and from the economic point of view it is necessary to develop the most effective directions. In order to ensure sustainable growth of the agricultural complex of the region, attention should be paid to the diversification of crop production, balanced support to the animal sub-sector, social and infrastructure problems, and to outline the directions of exit of enterprises of the district into world markets.
