Agricultural machinery plays a strategic role in achieving Indonesia’s agricultural development goals. It is considered capable of increasing agricultural production and productivity through managing cultivation, harvest and post-harvest activities. The government has facilitated farmers with agricultural machinery through farmer groups and joint-farmer groups by encouraging them to form Agricultural Machinery Services Provider (AMSP). The purpose of this research is to describe the agribusiness management of AMSP, in terms of organizational, technical and economic aspects. This research was conducted from June 2017 to October 2017 in four districts, namely Bantul, Sleman, Gunung Kidul and Kulon Progo. Purposive sampling was used as a sampling method in this research. There were 32 respondents; 12 from AMSP, 16 from farmers groups, 4 private agricultural machinery service providers. The data analysis used was descriptive and qualitative data analysis. This research concluded that management of AMSP from an organizational perspective in the 4 districts is compatible with the Permentan Nomor 25 2018 guidelines regarding growth and development of AMSP. From the technical aspect, most of the operational agricultural machinery is 2-wheeled and 4-wheeled tractors. From the economic aspect, Earnings are distributed based on 40:60 ratio where AMSP earns 40% and the operator earns 60%. In relation to the cost of land cultivation, AMSP can earn between RP. 600.000,- – Rp. 800.000,- and the operator can earn Rp. 900.000,- – Rp. 1.200.000,-.

Pengelolaan irigasi adalah salah satu faktor pendukung utama bagi keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian terutama dalam rangka peningkatan serta perluasan tujuan pembangunan pertanian dari program swasembada beras menjadi swasembada pangan. Pemerintah telah mencanangkan pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi, petani pemakai air sesuai dengan hakekat  pembangunan dari, oleh dan untuk masyarakat agar pokok-pokok pembaharuan kebijaksanaan pengelolaan irigasi tersebut dapat mencapai sasaran tepat guna. Adanya pergeseran nilai air, dari sumberdaya milik bersama (public goods) yang melimpah dan dapat dikonsumsi tanpa biaya, menjadi sumberdaya ekonomi (economic goods) yang mempunyai fungsi sosial; terjadinya kerawanan ketersediaan air secara nasional; adanya persaingan pemanfaatan air antara irigasi dengan penggunaan oleh sektor-sektor lain; dan konversi lahan beririgasi untuk kepentingan lainnya, memerlukan adanya kebijakan. Kebijakan pengelolaan irigasi yang efektif, sehingga keberlanjutan sistem irigasi dan hak-hak atas air bagi semua pengguna dapat terjamin. Mengingat irigasi tidak terlepas dari pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan, maka reformasi kebijakan dalam bidang keirigasian harus dilaksanakan secara simultan dan konsisten dengan reformasi pengelolaan sumberdaya air secara keseluruhan. Kata Kunci : isu, pembaharuan, irigasiIrrigation management is one of the main supporting factors for the success of agricultural development, especially in the context of increasing and expanding agricultural development goals from rice self-sufficiency to food self-sufficiency. that the Government has set out the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies, water user farmers in accordance with the nature of the development of, by and for the community that the principles of renewal of irrigation management policies can achieve effective targets. There is a shift in the value of water, from abundant public goods resources that can be consumed without cost, to economic resources that have social functions; the occurrence of national water availability insecurity; competition over water use between irrigation and use by other sectors; and conversion of irrigated land for other purposes, requires an effective irrigation management policy, so that the sustainability of the irrigation sistem and the rights to water for all users can be guaranteed. Since irrigation is inseparable from the overall management of water resources, policy reforms in the field of irrigation must be carried out simultaneously and consistently with reforms in the management of water resources as a whole. Keywords: issues, renewal, irrigation

Despite the signs of distress and fatigue in Indian agriculture, the use of machines in crop operations has increased manifold in recent times. Proponents of mechanization argue that mechanization saves time and cost, and improves agricultural productivity. The Government of India has also encouraged mechanization through subsiding farm machinery and establishing custom hiring centres. Earlier studies have found significant regional variation in the spread of agricultural mechanization. Cost of cultivation data collected by Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) reveal that although the share of machine labour in the cost of cultivation per hectare has increased, there exist significant differences across crops in the use of mechanical input. Empirical studies in different regions have found a significant presence of the rental market for services of agricultural machinery. However, in recent years there have been very few studies on the patterns of mechanization based on household-level data on ownership and investment in agricultural machinery and implements. Agro-ecological characteristics of a region are said to have a significant impact on the level of mechanization. Ownership of machinery is also significantly influenced by the factors such as size of landholding, access to irrigation and access to institutional credit. The pattern of investment and ownership of machinery has important implications on the profitability of farming. This article uses unit-level data from the All-India Debt and Investment Survey (NSS 70th round 2013) to study the pattern of agricultural mechanization in India based on the ownership of agricultural machinery and implements. Using ownership and expenditure data it studies the questions of recent patterns in agricultural mechanization across agro-ecological regions and land classes.

Agricultural policies and schemes are some of the measures through which the Nigerian government has attempted to address some of her challenges in the agricultural sector. Despite the MDGs/SDGs programs, Nigeria is still faced with extreme poverty, hunger, and poor education. Nigeria’s budgetary allocation is still far from meeting international recommendations of 25% by FAO. Laudable and well thought out agricultural schemes such as “Operation feed the nation”, “Green Revolution”, “River Basin Development”, “Agricultural Development Project” etc were government policies and schemes geared towards the provision of agricultural solutions. If objectives of the SDGs be realized in the country, issues of corruption, insecurity, proper education, and awareness creation etc., must be addressed by all stake holders ranging from the financial sector, the government as well as the mass media. The media are faced with challenges of news policies, brown envelops, loss of job opportunities etc., while most youths lack awareness and proper education about agricultural schemes and funding in Nigeria.

Ghana lags behind the Millennium Development Goals' target for sanitation, despite widespread effort by the central government. Lessons from the historical shortcomings of Ghana's sanitation policy now call for public–private partnership in the management of sanitation in Ghana. Using observations and in-depth interviews with small-scale sanitation service providers, this study investigated the constraints and motivations of sanitation-related businesses in peri-urban communities in the Ningo–Prampram district of Ghana. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data analyses and reporting. The study found that there exist various sanitation-related businesses such as masons/latrine builders, hardware suppliers and pit-emptier, in the study area whose activities are constrained by some financial, logistical, institutional and social challenges which limit their performance. Nonetheless, the operation of a sanitation business in the study communities was found profitable, and service providers are motivated by the financial returns and other non-financial benefits to remain and continue in their respective businesses. Policy efforts by the government and other stakeholders toward addressing the constraints to sanitation business are crucial for increased private sector participation and better service delivery to all stakeholders in the sanitation market, and the Ghanaian economy as a whole.
