Warehouse Receipt System suggest the potential that can be utilized on the implementation of the Warehouse Receipt System primarily in support of the financing, the minimization of price fluctuations, increase farmers’ income, credit mobilization, improvement of product quality and so on. However, implementation of warehouse receipt system in the agricultural sector is still faced a number of obstacles including transaction costs, inconsistencies in the quantity and quality of agricultural products, the lack of support banking institutions, and the still weak farmer institutions. With institutional farmers are not organized properly, the rules of the warehouse receipt system is still seen as too complicated so that the necessary simplification of procedures so that the warehouse receipt system could be used by farmers. In addition, the socialization of the Warehouse Receipt System and conducive government policy support will be an important factor so that the warehouse receipt system can be implemented optimally.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Price fall of agricultural commodities usually taking place during harvest season adversely affect the farmers. The government addresses this issue through launching the Warehouse Receipt System (SRG). This paper critically reviews potencies and constraints of WRS in supporting agricultural finance and its improvement measures. Theoretically, SRG provides potential benefits, especially in financial support, stabilizing price fluctuation, increasing farmers’ income, credit mobilization, improving product quality, etc. However, SRG implementation in the agricultural sector encounters a number of constraints, such as high transaction costs, inconsistency of quantity and quality of agricultural products, lack of bank support, and weak farmers’ institutions. Since the farmers’ institutions are not well organized yet, SRG procedures seem very complicated and need simplification. In addition, SRG promotion and more conducive government policy are also necessary to optimize this credit scheme.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Fenomena jatuh harga komoditas pertanian, terutama saat panen raya, seringkali merugikan petani. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini sekaligus membantu pembiayaan usaha pertanian pemerintah telah menggulirkan skim pembiayaan dengan Sistem Resi Gudang (SRG). Tulisan ini bertujuan melakukan tinjauan secara kritis terkait potensi dan kendala penerapan SRG untuk pembiayaan sektor pertanian. Hasil studi menunjukkan adanya potensi yang dapat dimanfaatkan dari pelaksanaan SRG utamanya dalam mendukung pembiayaan, minimalisasi fluktuasi harga, peningkatan pendapatan petani, mobilisasi kredit, perbaikan mutu produk dan sebagainya. Namun, implementasi SRG di sektor pertanian masih dihadapkan sejumlah kendala diantaranya besarnya biaya transaksi, inkonsistensi kuantitas dan kualitas produk pertanian, minimnya dukungan lembaga perbankan, serta masih lemahnya kelembagaan petani. Dengan kelembagaan petani belum tertata secara baik, aturan SRG masih dipandang terlalu rumit sehingga diperlukan penyederhanaan prosedur agar SRG dapat dimanfaatkan oleh petani. Disamping itu, sosialisasi keberadaan SRG serta dukungan kebijakan pemerintah yang kondusif akan menjadi faktor penting sehingga SRG dapat diimplementasikan lebih optimal.</p>

Abstract The government's policy on development in Indonesia is considered to be impartial in the agriculture sector, from observations, the portion of the budget each year is mostly channeled to other sectors, such as education, health, security and other routine expenditures such as salaries and operations, agriculture is considered very minimal, whereas more than half of the population in Indonesia works in the agricultural sector. The farmers are still complaining about infrastructure problems such as dams, irrigation, and farm roads. In addition, the quality of human resources working in the agricultural sector is still low, the price stability of production is uncertain so that at any time can harm the farmers, the survival of the survivors are allowed by the government when they have great service in encouraging development. The number of problems that occurred in the agricultural sector became the basis of this paper. This research is based on qualitative research, where researchers collect various data field and conduct a deep analysis of the data and on the problems that occur. The conclusion of this research is that government should direct development in agriculture sector so that people get welfare by making policies or regulations that favor the farmers by improving the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, the guarantee of the price of agricultural products and the guarantee of survival farmers. Keywords: policy, government, development, agriculture Abstrak Kebijakan pemerintah dalam pembangunan di Indonesia dinilai belum memihak pada sektor pertanian, dari hasil pengamatan, porsi anggaran tiap tahunnya lebih banyak tersalurkan pada sektor-sektor yang lain, seperti pendidikan, kesehatan, keamanan maupun belanja rutin lainnya seperti gaji pegawai dan operasional, sedangkan untuk sektor pertanian dinilai sangat minim, padahal lebih dari setengah jumlah penduduk di Indonesia bekerja di sektor pertanian. Para petani masih banyak mengeluhkan masalah infrastruktur seperti bendungan, irigasi, maupun jalan tani, selain itu kualitas sumber daya manusia yang bekerja disektor pertanian masih rendah, stabilitas harga hasil produksi tidak menentu sehingga sewaktu-waktu dapat merugikan para petani, jaminan kelansungan hidup para petani dibiarkan begitu saja oleh pemerintah padahal mereka punya jasa besar dalam mendorong pembangunan. Banyaknya masalah yang terjadi disektor pertanian tersebut menjadi dasar dari tulisan ini. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada penelitian kualitatif, dimana peneliti mengumpulkan berbagai data dilapangan dan melakukan analisis yang mendalam terhadap data-data maupun pada persoalan-persoalan yang terjadi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pemerintah seharusnya mengarahkan pembangunan pada sektor pertanian sehingga masyarakat mendapatkan kesejahteraan dengan membuat kebijakan atau regulasi yang memihak kepada petani dengan cara peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia di sektor pertanian, ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana, jaminan harga hasil produksi pertanian dan jaminan kelangsungan hidup para petani. Kata kunci: kebijakan, pemerintah, pembagunan, pertanian

Agriculture is a critical sector for Afghanistan. About 70 percent of the population lives in rural areas and works on farms. Naturally, the Afghan economy is focused on the agricultural sector. But the agrarian infrastructure encountered significant damage during the 30-year war. Before the war in the 1970s, Afghanistan was an international supplier of agricultural products and 48% of the export revenue was obtained from these products. Rice consumption is mainly dependent on rice imports to meet the growing demand of Afghanistan's growing population due to the livelihood and semi-subsistence rice farming and the continuity of low-quality of local rice varieties. On average, the country imported about 218 million tonnes of rice each year in the 2014-2017 period, accounting for about $70 million (approximately 1.4% of the agricultural GDP). For Afghanistan to meet rice demand with domestic production, it is recommended to adopt highly productive seed varieties, relevant inputs, and sustainable farm management practices.

Abstract Reliable and secure water resources for rural communities in Africa continue to be at the forefront of the challenges facing these communities in the last 20 years, particularly for smallholders, agricultural sector productivity, food security and economic development increasingly exacerbated by climate change and rapidly growing urban populations. Addressing these challenges requires well-structured policy in the water sector, to implement commitments and investments effectively, and ultimately ensure the quantity and quality of water supply. The AWV 2025 for Africa was commissioned by the World Water Council in 2000 to create a framework to target these aspects in Africa. We examine the progress towards achieving this vision after two decades, through the initiatives, government policies and water strategies that have been implemented. We take a closer look at the top-down impact of the AWV 2025 in the national context of Kenya and its rural population. While the water sector has evolved since 2000, it remains difficult to meet international standards, both at the continental level and in Kenya. This requires continued efforts to strengthen good governance in the water sector, address the financial challenges associated with the expansion of the infrastructure, and developing decentralized approaches to water supply provision.

This article examines the current state of water and land resources in Uzbekistan. Since the agricultural sector in Uzbekistan occupies a significant share of the national and gross domestic product value, the quality of these resources is especially important for our republic. The main problem in obtaining the high- quality agricultural products in the region is the lack of water, salinization and soil erosion, as well as their secondary salinization, which is amplified due to climate change in this region. Studies show that this affects the productivity of an agricultural products. Taking this into account we understand the necessity of reduction of the harvesting of cotton and rice for less moisture consumed fruit and vegetable products. To achieve this expected results in the management of water and land resources, it is necessary to use the international experience of other countries, applying innovative water-saving technologies in the system of irrigation of land resources incorporating the problem of climate change.

Small farms, which are mostly owned by natural persons, characterize the agricultural sector of Serbia. In order for a family farm business or holding to be successful, the following factors can be distinguished: the yield and quality of the products achieved, the prices generated for the products, and, of course, the decisions that are made in order to make the management of the farm more efficient. Given that consumers of agricultural products around the world are demanding increasing product quality, farms should work to improve competitiveness based on quality. The subject of this paper is the importance of the quality of the products for the sustainable success of agricultural holdings in the Republic of Serbia. The main goal of this paper is to provide new knowledge in the field of quality of agricultural products of agricultural holdings with the aim of achieving sustainable success.

Perkembangan dunia perbankan syariah tidak lepas dari peran para nasabah yang memberikan kepercayaan terhadap pihak perbankan untuk penyimpanan asset keuangannya. Faktanya banyak kelompok nasabah yang memutuskan untuk menjadi nasabah di perbankan syariah karena faktor religiusitasnya. Faktor lain yang dapat ikut mempengaruhi keputusan nasabah adalah kualitas produk. Di mana kualitas produk merupakan karakteristik yang melekat dari suatu produk. Kemungkinan yang terjadi bahwa kebanyakan nasabah pada perbankan syariah juga masih merupakan nasabah perbankan konvensional.Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kualitas produk dan tingkat religiusitas nasabah terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya atau tidak di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi linier berganda, dengan jumlah sampel 100 nasabah. Diperoleh hasil Y = 5,046 + 0,101X1 + 0,218X2. Berdasarkan uji F yang sudah dilakukan maka dapat diketahui bahwa variabel kualitas produk dan religiusitas secara bersama – sama berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Berdasarkan uji t yang sudah dilakukan dapat diketahui bahwa secara partial baik variabel kualitas produk maupun variabel religiusitas berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. The progress of the Islamic bank cannot be separated from the role of its customers who give trust to the bank to deposit their financial assets.

In conditions of climate change, when temperature and precipitation fluctuations occur more and more frequently during the growing season, it is necessary to obtain high quality seedlings with "immunity" to various stress factors, including high weediness, the damage from which is associated with a decrease in yield (by 25 -35%) and with a deterioration in the quality of agricultural products. Due to the imbalance in production technology, seedlings are often weakened, overgrown, with a low yield per unit area and survival rate in the field. One of the solutions to this problem is the use of PP for pre-sowing seed treatment to increase the competitiveness of seedlings in the field.
