Several genome sequencing programs were launched in Brazil by the end of the nineties and the early 2000s.The most important initiatives were supported by the ONSA program (http://watson.fapesp.br/onsa/Genoma3.htm) and aimed at gaining domain in genomic technology and bringing molecular biology to the state of art. Two mainsets of data were collected in the 1996-2007 period to evaluate the results of these genome programs: the scientific production (Scopus and Web of Science databases) and the register of patents (US Patent and Trademark Office), both related to the progress of molecular biology along this period. In regard to the former, Brazil took a great leap in comparison to 17 other developed and developing countries, being only surpassed by China. As to the register of patents in the area of molecular biology, Brazil's performance lags far behind most of the countries focused in the presentstudy, confirming the Brazilian long-standing tendency of poor achievements in technological innovations when compared with scientific production. Possible solutions to surpass this inequality are discussed.

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.

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.

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.
