Navy bean ( white bean ) is an export crop with potential to significantly improve incomes of smallholder farmers in Kenya; its production and marketing has, however, stagnated. A study was conducted to determine the status, challenges and marketing opportunities for navy bean. Primary data were obtained by interviewing white bean producers, processors, key resource experts, regulators and consumers using category - specific semi -structured questionnaires. Secondary data were collected from published work and available statistics. The study demonstrated that navy bean production in several parts of Kenya dates back to the 1950s, but it is now confined (though with very low production levels) to Nakuru County districts of Rongai and Nakuru north. Decline in production is partly attributed to the collapse of contractual arrangements between producers and processors. Currently, local processors import most of their navy beans from Ethiopia . There are two navy bean market channels : local channel initiated by local chain actors and an Ethiopian channel initiated by wholesale traders who supply current processors and other traders . Main challenge s include low producer prices, poor agronomic and postharvest practices, low value addition and processing and lack of market information , particularly to farmers . Opportunities identified for participants in the value chain include the presence of the Ken ya Plant Health Inspectorate Service ( KEPHIS ) for seed inspection and certification, increase in processing capacity, improved breeding and seed production systems and the exploration of new markets coupled with innovative crop promotion strategies. Strategies for improving the competitiveness of navy bean subsector hinges on accelerated navy bean breeding and seed systems (including informal seed systems) , processing/canning and sufficient market information to all participants in the value chain . Evidence shows that the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT ) in collaboration with the University of Nairobi are doing some breeding work on navy beans . Moreover, several materials are under farmer participatory evaluation trials in historically navy been producing areas in the rift valley, central and upper eastern.

Pomegranates are one of the most important fruits in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan, which is famous for its pomegranates around the world. Pomegranates play a vital role in the socio-economic life of those who grow them. This study empirically analyzed the value chain of pomegranate production in Kandahar using primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected from 200 pomegranate growers in the Dand, Panjwai, and Daman districts of Kandahar province. These growers were selected using a random sampling method and the data was collected using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire. The secondary data was collected from traders, local collectors, and exporters of pomegranates involving 30 pomegranate selling companies. The value chain analysis shows that from the main four chains of pomegranate production (farmer, collector, trader, and exporter), the main actors are the exporters who process pomegranate and add the greatest value by investing in marketing, shipment, and warehousing and receive highest profit margin among the stakeholders. Exporters of pomegranates to Europe earn an average of 66 Afghani per kg. The next greatest beneficiaries are the growers or farmers who earn an average of 23 AFN on each kg. Local collectors who buy pomegranates from farmers earn the least, at an average of 13 AFN per kg over the costs of processing and transportation.

The downstreaming option to provide added value to local industries, especially developing countries in the Global Value Chain (GVC) era as a way to increase competitiveness and seizing global markets, is inevitable. This paper focus on the analysis of the developments and limitations faced in the implementation of the Strategic Policy of South Sumatra Rubber Product Downstreaming with the establishment of Tanjung Api-Api Special Economic Zone. At the regional level, the idea of developing SEZ (Special Economic Zone) aims to prepare investment institutions in improving the investment climate in Southeast Asia region and manifesting ASEAN as a single market and production base as a component of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community. This study used an exploratory and descriptive qualitative research method, where the depth and context of the data are important. Data from this study consisted of secondary data through literature study and analysis of documents and primary data obtained from interview as well as through field research. The author concludes that the industrial downstreaming of rubber products in South Sumatra has not been maximally carried out, it was still segmented, it was not conducted linearly, both production and coordination between the central government and the locals. Tanjung Api-Api SEZ as a hub for international trade and industrialization of rubber commodities also encountered various obstacles including infrastructure (deep sea port) at this point was inadequate, certainty of fiscal incentives for companies relocating to SEZ and licensing.

Kabupaten Toba Samosir (Tobasa) merupakan salah satu penghasil jagung terbesar di Sumatera Utara. Peningkatan produksi jagung sangat signifikan dari tahun 2016 ke 2017 yaitu sebesar 52,60%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi rantai pasok jagung dengan mempertimbangkan potensi sumber daya pertanian jagung, pelaku dan aktor pendukung serta pendapatan petani. Data primer pada penelitian ini diperoleh melalui observasi langsung dan wawancara dengan pihak pemangku kepentingan seperti: aktor langsung (Petani, Pengumpul, Pengecer, Pekerja dan Konsumen) dan pendukung (Dinas pertanian, Dinas Perindakop, Dinas Ketapang dan Kelompok Tani). Data sekunder diperoleh melalui BPS, Dinas Pertanian dan studi literatur yang berkaitan dengan rantai nilai, rantai pasok dan analisis pemangku kepentingan. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan luas produktif pertanian jagung di Kabupaten Tobasa 5.651 ha, kapasitas produksi 33.524 ton dan jumlah produktivitas 59,32 kw/ha dengan rantai pemasaran jagung di dalam dan luar kabupaten seperti pabrik pakan ternak di Siantar dan Medan. Berbeda dengan kondisi di Kabupaten Dairi dengan luas produktif pertanian 34.114 ha, kapasitas produksi 214.505 ton dan jumlah produktivitas 62,88 kw/ha. Pemetaan rantai nilai didapat bahwa Dinas Pertanian memiliki pengaruh dan kepentingan yang tinggi dalam rantai nilai dengan pendapatan yang diterima petani di Kabupaten Tobasa adalah Rp. 6.401.033per hektar per musim tanam, dengan R/C 1,634. Strategi mendiversifikasi produk turunan jagung dapat meningkatkan nilai jagung dalam rantai nilai. Selain itu dengan menjalin kemitraan antara petani dengan pengumpul maupun pelaku industri dapat menghindari panen raya mupun kelangkaan jagung.   Toba Samosir Regency (Tobasa) is one of the largest corn producers in North Sumatra. The increasement of corn production is very significant from 2016 to 2017 at 52.60%. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the corn supply chain by considering the potential of corn farming resources, supporting actors and actors as well as farmers' income. Primary data in this study were obtained through direct observation and interviews with stakeholders such as: direct actors (Farmers, Collectors, Retailers, Workers and Consumers) and supporters (Department of Agriculture, Department of Industry Trade and Cooperatives, Department of Ketapang Officer and Farmers Group). Secondary data was obtained through BPS, Department of Agriculture and literature studies related to the value chain, supply chain and stakeholder analysis. Data were analyzed using the SWOT method. The results showed that the productive area of corn farming in Tobasa District was 5,651 ha, production capacity was 33,524 tons and total productivity was 59.32 kw/ha with the marketing chain of corn of in and outside the district such as animal feed factories in Siantar and Medan. It is contrast conditions in Dairi Regency with an area of productive agriculture was 34,114 ha, production capacity was 214,505 tons and total productivity was 62.88 kw/ha. Mapping the value chain found that the Department of Agriculture has a high influence and interest in the value chain with the income received by farmers in Tobasa Regency is Rp. 6,401,033per hectares per planting season, with R / C 1,634.

There are many definitions of sustainable transport system, but generally it takes into account the three elements of sustainable development: the economy, the environment and the social well-being when deciding on policy that is affecting transportation activity. This paper examines the urban transport policy and its implications on sustainable transport agenda in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The research utilizes a combination of primary and secondary data. Interview was employed to gather the primary data, while scholarly works, government documents and archival records are the instruments used for gathering the secondary data. The findings shed light on the implications of transport policy on sustainable transport agenda in the Klang Valley. The main challenge seems to be the lack of holistic measures in tackling transport issues that are in conflict with the objectives of sustainable transport. This main factor stems from a combination of several other issues such as decision-making based on short-term result that are mostly driven by economically viable alternatives, transport policies that are focused on technology and structural improvement and the lack of political will to influence development processes that could bring forward sustainable transport agenda. To achieve sustainability, transport policy in Malaysia, particularly in the Klang Valley, must include the wider systems in which transportation activity is rooted.
