Citrus Production

Dried citrus pulp is an important by-product of the citrus processing industry. It is a bulky, granular, carbohydrate concentrate livestock feed produced by drying the peel, seed, and rag refuse of citrus fruit. Approximately 324,159 tons of citrus pulp were produced in 1964–65 (2). This amount will probably increase by more than 60 percent during the next 10 years, since the orange crop is expected to increase from the 1964–65 estimate of 83,000,000 boxes to 183,000,000 by 1975 with 80 percent of the oranges being processed (7). The 1975 grapefruit crop is expected to be 30,000,000 boxes with over one-half being processed. These increases in citrus production could mean that by 1975 over 650,000 tons of dried pulp would be produced in the State. Paper published with permission.

Efficiency And Productivity

Food processing industry (FPI) is at a nascent stage and is tagged as a sunshine industry. The efficiency and productivity of the inputs for the aforesaid industries have to be measured to not only find out if the potential is achieved or not, but also to identify the grey areas. Against such a backdrop, it is obvious that industries like FPI would grow and become the subject matter for further investigation. The research revealed that the majority of cases have been consistent with the real facts and the underlying principles, and the structure of the economy provide valid reasons for it. However, in some cases, the results have not been consistent with the movement of the economy and there are no valid economic reasons for the performance of the state.

Production Pattern

An assessment of livestock and poultry feed resources availability was done based on the extrapolation of secondary data from livestock census, 2012 and land utilization and crop production pattern in Telangana state. Overall dry matter (DM) availability in the state is about 19.47 million tonnes (Mt) from various feed resources. Availability of green forage, dry forage and concentrate feed resources were 2.38, 15.0 and 2.1 million tonnes respectively. Crop residues contributed to 77% of total DM supply for livestock in Telangana. Straws from paddy and maize crops are the major crop residues available in the state. The DM availability per RLU/day for the region as a whole is 6.1 kg with the values ranging from 2.8 kg in Adilabad district to 13.2 kg in Nizamabad district. Total DM availability including livestock and poultry was 84% and the deficit was around 16%. It could be concluded that there is severe shortage of green forages and concentrates to meet the requirements of livestock and poultry.

In the state of Paraíba, one of the activities of great economic importance is that of the kaolin processing industry. This type of processing generates large amounts of waste that are displayed randomly in the environment, which has attracted attention, because the environmental impact caused by it and the lack of established process of recycling. The University Federal o Paraíba has been developing several research to explore the potential for recycling of industrial waste from Paraíba, mainly waste of kaolin. This research have pointed to the feasibility of using waste as aggregate and pozzolan in the development of mortars use multiple. These wastes have different size fractions, depending on the stage of processing: a sandy (termed in this study of RGC) containing mainly quartz, mica and calcite; and other clay (termed in this study of RFC) is thinner, containing higher amounts of kaolinite. This study aims to evaluate the potential of alkaline activation from waste kaolin (RGC and RFC) by comparing the activation using sodium silicate and hidroxide of calcium. With the objective of studying the potential of waste as a material pozzolanic, it was processing through grinding at 80.000, 60.000, 40.000, 20.000 and 10.000 rotations and with the purpose of evaluating the reactivity of materials, these wastes were calcined at 750°C/2h. For the mechanical characterization was using an equipment universal testing of Shimadzu Servopulser, where it was observed that only RFC, when calcined, developed strength in both activations, and the activated with silicate sodium with higher strength. The RGC, both in the state in natura and calcined did not show satisfactory mechanical strength to the test under the conditions of synthesis used in this research. Thus, the waste RFC's studied in this work has the potential to be used as constituent materials for building blocks in terms of its mechanical properties.

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify and qualify the microregions specialized in orange production and the spatial dynamics of citrus production in the state of Paraná, Brazil. For this purpose, data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and the Brazilian Central Bank were used. The location quotient (LQ) methodology was applied, the principal component analysis (PCA) and the cluster analysis were carried out, and information regarding the location of industries and agribusiness cooperatives that process orange juice in the state of Paraná was collected. The LQ results, subdivided into 5-year periods, denote changes in the spatial dynamics of orange production. Between 1998-2002 and 2013-2017, the specialized microregions increased from nine to 11; in addition, the consolidation of a citrus belt, which extended from the northwestern to the northeast area of Paraná, took place. Two main components explained 89.16% of the total data variability and four clusters were identified. The microregion of Paranavaí was the most specialized and the most important for the orange production chain in Paraná. The dynamics of orange production were spatially associated with the location of industries and agribusiness cooperatives in the sector, which were concentrated in the northwestern and mid-northern Paraná.

Major Direction

In Georgia agriculture faces many challenges though there are few beneficial movements in this sector. As the article mainly describes the challenges of potato production development, the statistical data analysis will be useful. In 2008-2019 local potato supply rate was increased from 86% up to 93% in the country, especially in the condition when the potato land plots reduced from 24 thousand to 16.4 thousand ha, while the quantity of the produced potato has been increased unequally. Rural farms, regardless they are domestic or commercial are still flexible on the market against the prices of other agricultural product, this was the reason why the total potato land plots used to increase or reduce. In many cases the reason for reduction of the plots is the problems with harvest sales and low prices compared to primary cost of the product due to which the cultivated land plots were reduced. In addition, 99% produce potato. The majority of Samtskhe-Javakheti residents was and is engaged before and now in the agriculture actively. The region population is actively involved in both crop production and livestock breeding. The speed of production volume changing in the agriculture gives us possibility to base regional development concept on agricultural development in combination with the processing industry. For the recent years the size of the state funding of the sector is permanently increasing, though there are many indicators showing that it is early to talk about quality improvement of the field. Additionally, the article discusses the steps made towards development of agriculture and there are stipulations about the reasons of their ineffectiveness. The solution ways and directions are also suggested for overcoming the causes on the example of Samtskhe-Javakheti region. By considering the fact that potato production is the major direction of the crop production in Samtskhe-Javakheti, the discussion mainly focuses on existing situation in potato growing of the region, analyzing the situation, threats and opportunities, strengths and weaknesses. In Summary, we have developed the model for the region in order to have a precedent for overcoming the challenges in the potato production, which will show the rural household and enterprises how it is possible to reflect supporting policy of the state on the financial results of the activities. The model does not require great financial expenses, though it can be an important stimulus for other domestic farms and the example for the regional cooperatives developed on the model, supporting to development agriculture and entire region together processing industry. Keywords: Agriculture, potato production.

The problems of ensuring environmental safety of the enterprises of food and processing industry of agroindustrial complex on the basis of the stimulating economic tools are considered. Need of attraction of investments into the sphere of modernization of the equipment as the outdated equipment is not capable to ensure environmental safety of technological processes at the enterprises of food and processing industry is proved in article. In this regard the possibility of involvement of both the state, and private institutes to a problem of increase in environmental efficiency of processing of agricultural products is considered. Special attention is paid to such modern tool as public-private partnership at implementation of nature protection projects in food and processing industry of agrarian and industrial complex. Use of this tool will allow not to increase investment attractiveness of projects on modernization of fixed assets in the food industry, but also will significantly reduce their risks due to effective management of them on the basis of optimum redistribution between participants. The state support will consist in implementation of various projects and programs and also compensation actions. Private structures will be able to get access to modern ecologically safe technologies on favorable terms. For the purpose of attraction of financial resources in projects on introduction of the modern equipment at the enterprises of food and processing industry of agro-industrial complex it is offered to use preferential crediting which will provide to investors additional incentives. Development of insurance tools at implementation of nature protection projects in food and processing industry will allow to minimize risks of inverters and to warn the probability of approach of adverse events, including ecological. Use of preferential taxation, in turn, will allow to reduce taxable base that will also favorably affect investment attractiveness of ecological projects in food and processing industry.
