The present investigation was undertaken with a view to studying the costs and returns structure by the contract and non-contract farmers under contract farming of bottle gourd. Primary data were collected for the agricultural year 2015-16. The cost concepts were used. The results of the study revealed that all types of incomes viz., gross income, family labour income, farm business income and net income were higher on the contract farms than on the non-contract farms. The net income per hectare from bottle gourd was 31.69 per cent higher on the contract farms as compared to the non-contract farms. The total costs were higher on contract farms than on non-contract farms. The net profit was higher on contract farms than on non-contract farms. Returns per rupee were higher on contract farms (` 1.82) than non-contract farms (`1.69).


The results revealed that on an overall average size of landholding was estimated to be 0.97 ha. The total cultivated area at all categories of sample farms were found to be irrigated. Overall average, cost of cultivation was estimated `27819.43 per ha. The cost of cultivation showed positive relation with size of holding. The cost of cultivation was highest on medium farms (`32549.25) followed by small (`31528.40 and marginal (`29171.74), respectively. Overall average, cost of production was estimated `2446.44 per hectare. On an average input-output ratio on the basis Costs A1/A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 were recorded 1:2.86, 1:2.77, 1:1.91, 1:1.89 and 1:1.46, respectively. On the basis of Cost C2 input-output ratio was highest on marginal farms (1:1.47) followed by small (1:1.44) and medium (1:1.43), respectively. Overall average, net income and gross income were found `9859.33 and 40028.69 per ha, respectively.

PurposeThe present study aims at examining the determinants of occupational migration of unskilled labourer from domestic agriculture and their impact on farm business income (FBI) in Assam, India.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data for this study were collected during June–November, 2019 from 224 farm (cultivator) households in two contiguous districts in central Brahmaputra valley of Assam. The study used three-stage least square (3SLS) estimation technique for jointly determining the factors influencing migration and remittances and their impact on FBI.FindingsThe result of this study confirms that occupational migration of unskilled labourer from domestic agriculture significantly reduced household FBI. In contrast to the inflow of remittances from migrants helped in increasing the FBI. The migration in the study area considerably influenced by household size, total value of assets holding, networking influence, distance to commercial bank and flood proneness of the village; while the number of migrants, number of dependents and age of migrants seen to be strong predictor of inflow of remittances. Findings of present study offer evidence in support of the new economics of labour migration (NELM) theory.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is restricted to a single crop (paddy) and constrained by the collection of longitudinal data with a revisit to the farm household pre and post-migration of the unskilled labourer from household agriculture.Originality/valueThis paper is based on a novel data set that has especially been collected to examine the determinants of occupational migration from agriculture and their impact on the FBI in Assam that has not been studied before.

<p>Sugar is a one of commodity that goverment already decided to reach national self sufficient in 2019. One effort that was conducted is using sago starchto produce liguid sugar. Research was done in Lamokula Village, North Moramo Sub Distric, South Konawe Regency at July – October 2016. The research was conducted to know the economic analysis and organoleptic test of producing liquid sugar from sago starch. Research usedtesting of producion sago liquid sugar in home scale. Besides that organoleptic test was conducted using questionare for 85 panelists that threat the taste, color and smell of sago liquid sugar and also application of sago liquid sugar in drinks. The result of research showed that producing sago liquid sugar from sago starch with capacity 200 kg was feasible with value of RCR 1,79 and net income reach Rp. 1.590.000, with BEP from production side 112 liters and BEP from price side Rp. 10.050. Production of sago liqud sugar still feasible even price of wet sago increase until 30%, gas fuel until 10%, labour and packaging until 20% eventhoug production decrease 10% but price of sago liquid sugar increase minimum 10%. The yield of organoleptic test show that sago liquid sugar have taste, color and smell that can be good accepted by community. Even that if sago liquid sugar apply in fruit ice drinks, the taste and smell of fruit ice drinks is good. For the next sago liquid sugar can substitute sugar cane and also other sweetener and support the the effort to reach national self sufficient of sugar.</p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p>Swasembada gula telah dicanangkan oleh pemerintah untuk dicapai tahun 2019.

Аналіз економічних показників досліду, в якому ви-вчалася дія попередників і добрив показав, що найви-щий рівень рентабельності зафіксовано у варіантах досліду, які розміщувалися після цукрових буряків і на яких застосовувався «Нутрівант Плюс пивоварний ячмінь» (71,8 %). У частині досліду, де попередником була кукурудза на зерно, найкращий ефект також було досягнуто на варіантах, на яких застосовувало-ся це комплексне добриво. Застосування «Нутріван-ту Плюс пивоварний ячмінь» також дозволяє істот-но зменшити собівартість продукції порівняно з ко-нтрольним варіантом без добрив та варіантами із застосуванням N30P30K30. Найефективнішим викори-стання стимуляторів росту було переважно у варіа-нтах, де рослини удобрювалися «Нутрівантом». Найкращі результати досягнуто в разі використання «Nano Gro» та «Вітазиму». Застосування стимуля-торів росту дає змогу збільшити показники рента-бельності та чистого доходу майже в два рази, про-те дія препаратів суттєво коригується вибраною системою удобрення посівів. На посівах ячменю, які удобрюються мінеральними добривами, потрібно застосовувати препарати «Вітазим» і «Nano Gro». Analysis of economic indicators of the experiment in which the effect of precursors and fertilizers were studied, showed that a high level of profitability was recorded in the experiments, which were placed after sugar beet and on which «Nutrivant Plus malting barley» (71.8%) was used. In the part of the experiment, where the predecessor was the maize on grain, the best effect has also been achieved on the variants on which a complete fertilizer was applied. Application of «Nutrivant Plus malting barley» can significantly reduce the cost of production compared to the control without fertilizer and options using N30P30K30. Effective use of growth stimulators was mainly in cases where the plants were fertilized with «Nutrivant». The best results were achieved by using drugs «Nano Gro» and «Vitazim». Application of growth stimulators can increase performance of profitability and net income almost twice, but the action of drugs is largely corrected by the selected system of fertilizing crops. On crops of barley, which are fertilized with mineral fertilizers, it is advisable to use drugs «Vitazim» and «Nano Gro».

The profitability of the Hungarian apple production considering firms producing on high standard is not lagged behind significantly from that of German firms, moreover in certain cases it reflects a more positive situation. It is unfavourable, however, that this statement is true only for 8 to 10% of our whole apple plantation surface. The results of the investigations highlighted the fact that in comparison with Germany our farm business advantages manifest in three factors: in 70 to 80% lower wages, in 15 to 30% higher investment and subsidy intensity and in the fact that at present we cannot neglect the ice safety system which is rather expensive. By the increasing wages, the narrowing subsidy opportunities and incidentally the appearing harmful weather phenomenon, these advantages may be continuously ceased. Our definite disadvantage appears in the level of marketing price, considering the fact that producers in Hungary realize 30 to 35% lower marketing price, which is in connection with the probably much lower level of organization among farmers, in the market and in the logistical background.

This study aims to analyze the income of the BUMDes “Mandiri”  layer chicken farm and partner farms, as well as the size of the income earned by BUMDes “Mandiri”  and breeder partners from the profit-sharing system carried out together. The research respondents were the BUMDes “Mandiri”  farm manager and two breeder partners. Operating income is calculated by finding the difference between business revenues and total business costs incurred. The share received by BUMDes “Mandiri”  and partner farmers from partner farm income is determined based on the percentage agreed in the partnership agreement, namely 51% for BUMDes “Mandiri”  and 49% for breeder partners. The results showed that the income of the BUMDes “Mandiri”  livestock business in one month was Rp. 3,668,890.00 or Rp. 3,668.89/head, while the partner's husbandry business income was Rp. 6,404,505.00 or Rp. 12,809.00/head. The portion of the partner's husbandry business income that belongs to BUMDes “Mandiri” is Rp. 3,266,295.00/month and that which belongs to breeder partners is Rp. 3,138,210.00/month.

Four nitrogen rates (0, 50, 100, and 150 lb/acre) and four spring pruning severities (none, low, medium, and high) were applied annually in all combinations at two commercial ‘Stevens’ cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) farms in southeastern Massachusetts for 4 years (consecutive). Because runners generated from pruning vines are used to establish new plantings, determining the vine weight generated from each treatment combination was an important criterion for the economic analysis; these data were collected each spring. Mean pruning weight across nitrogen treatments at both locations, collected from the low, medium, and high severity pruning treatments, was 0.17, 0.35, and 0.54 ton/acre, respectively. Economic analysis of the data indicated that nitrogen rate largely determined net income revenues; pruning severity did not significantly affect net income. Nitrogen rates of 100 and 150 lb/acre led to declines in fruit yield and ultimately, in net income. Annual removal of 0.5 ton of vines per acre while applying 50 lb/acre nitrogen did not negatively impact net income values over the 4-year study period. When deciding on horticultural management options for vine propagation, growers should consider the impact of their fertilizer program on fruit yield.
