The species yellow-fronted canary undergoes a real traffic due to its song and medico-magical properties in order to supply local commercial networks. This study aims to assess the socioeconomic and cultural importance of this bird in order to identify the cohorts of actors involved along this activity chain. In this context a survey was carried out among 400 breeders in four agroecological zones of Benin (ZAE II; ZAE III, ZAE IV and ZAE V). The questionnaire also focused on general characteristics of the respondents on aspects related to general knowledge of the bird, its social importance, purchase and sale price, cultural importance and breeders’ perceptions. Canary traders, mostly with primary education level (63.25%) and Muslim (97.5%), were on average 44 years old and an average experience of 27 years. They exercised this activity in part-time (96.5%). The knowledge about canary is shared is different depending on the ethnic group. The activity was profitable for all of them (100%) with 128,624 FCFA (233.18 USD) net profit per month. The trader's education level, whether or not he belonged to ZAE II, the number of birds he had in his possession, the daily amount he invested in their food, their selling price, the number of years he made the activity, his experience in the business were the factors that determine the net profit of the canary’s trader. However, canaries' breeding in north-Benin is based on a complex system with actors who develop many myths around medico-magical practices. This study was necessary to better assess the pressure on the species in order to anticipate its conservation.

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar o preço mínimo de venda de madeira de eucalipto com reflorestamentos destinados aos segmentos de carvão e serraria. O preço mínimo foi determinado através dos dados de custos e receitas dos empreendimentos. Os custos dos projetos foram descontados para o ano zero, somados e igualados a receita, também descontada para o ano zero.  A receita foi expressa pelo produto do Incremento Médio Anual, idade de corte, e preço mínimo de venda da madeira. Foram obtidos os seguintes preços mínimos de venda para madeira: carvão (R$ 38,44 para madeira em pé e R$ 55,39 para madeira empilhada); serraria (R$ 29,76 para madeira em pé e R$57,71 para madeira empilhada). Os valores encontrados foram inferiores ao preço de mercado, evidenciando que o custo de produção da madeira foi totalmente assegurado pelo seu preço de venda, proporcionando ainda um adicional de receita para cada metro cúbico comercializado. A análise de sensibilidade mostrou grande influência da taxa de juros no preço mínimo de venda da madeira, diferentemente do que foi observado para o custo anual de arrendamento da terra. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram importância ao nortear produtores florestais em relação aos preços de comercialização de produtos.Palavras-chave: planejamento econômico, projetos florestais, custo de madeira. MINIMUM SALE PRICE OF EUCALYPT TIMBER CONSIDERING REFORESTATION TO VEGETAL COAL PRODUCTION AND SAWMILL ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to evaluate the minimum selling price of eucalyptus wood with reforestation for the coal and sawmill segments. The minimum price was determined by the cost and revenue data of the projects. Project costs were discounted for year zero, plus and equal to revenue, also discounted for year zero. Revenue was expressed as the product of the Annual Average Increase, age of cut, and minimum selling price of the wood. The following minimum selling prices were obtained for wood: coal (R $ 38.44 for standing timber and R $ 55.39 for stacked timber); (R $ 29.76 for standing timber and R $ 57.71 for timber stacked). The values found were lower than the market price, evidencing that the cost of production of the wood was fully assured by its selling price, also providing an additional revenue for each cubic meter marketed. The sensitivity analysis showed a large influence of the interest rate on the minimum selling price of the wood, unlike what was observed for the annual cost of renting the land. The results of the survey show importance when guiding forest producers in relation to the prices of products commercialization.Keywords: economic planning, forestry projects, timber cost.

AbstractThe purpose of the paper is to investigate the main causes of discount between list price and forced sale value in the Italian real estate auction segment, in favor of more comprehensive determination of the value of mortgage underlying guarantees; this would allow for an improvement of further valorization processes of assets intended to obtain a higher selling price.Starting from the results of existing literature, an ordinary least squares regression analysis was conducted in order to point out the main determinants of the discount between list price and forced sale value. It has been verified, when sampling 225 cases of forced residential property sales in the South of Italy, that the time constraint of the Italian regulatory framework is more relevant with reference to discount rather than the physical characteristics of assets.The influence of the duration of procedures is proof that even if recent government initiatives have led to positive results in terms of reducing the length of procedures, this is not yet satisfactory compared to other European contexts. This provides evidence of the need for further interventions aimed at improving the efficiency of the procedural system, also encouraging recourse to other options that lead to ease judicial burden.

Drying Technology

We developed an inflatable solar dryer for mushroom drying, which was adapted from the Solar Bubble DryerTM originally designed for paddy drying. The improved dryer with an added perforated elevated floor ensured the quality without any requirement of mixing or turning of the mushrooms during drying. Its drying performance and economic feasibility were evaluated through determination of the drying parameters including moisture content (MC) reduction, mushroom quality, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost-benefits ratio. Mushroom MC was reduced from 90% down to 40–60% within 2–4 h, corresponding to the drying rate at this stage of 10–20% h−1. At the next stage, it took about 4–6 h corresponding to a drying rate of 2–10% h−1 to reach the required product MC of 8–10%. The color of the dried mushrooms still remained white-cream. The drying process required 4.57 MJ, emitted 0.33 kg CO2e, and required an input cost of 1.86 $US kg of dry product. For the specific case in the Philippines, this can generate a net profit of 468–1468 $US−1 year−1 and the investment will break even in 1.3–4.0 years corresponding to the selling price of dry mushroom of 10–12 $US kg−1. The study developed a solution to improve the solar bubble dryer and verified its drying process for mushroom drying at farm scale. It would add a significant value to farmers’ income as well as a diversified source of nutrient-rich food.

Rice is important cereal crops cereals crop worldwide. Kalanamak is heritage rice of eastern Uttar Pradesh and valued for its aroma, taste and nutritive quality. Four improved varieties, KN3, Bauna Kalanamak 101, Bauna Kalanamak 102 and Kalanamak Kiran were released in 2010, 2016, 2017and 2018 respectively. Last three varieties yield 50% more than traditional Kalanamak KN3 and mature 10 days earlier. Normal selling price of the Kalanamak paddy ranges between Rs. 2500/- to Rs. 3500/- per quintal. Organic Kalanamak fetches 20% premium over normal Kalanamak. Summarily compared to Rs. 17,500 / ha net profit from common HYV rice, Kalanamak KN3 will give Rs. 44,375, Bauna Kalanamak Rs. 71,500 and Organic Kalanamak Rs. 92,500 per hectare net profit, hence better net profit of the farmers is assured sustainably. Kalanamak is heritage rice of eastern Uttar Pradesh and valued for its aroma, taste and nutritive quality. Its cultivation declined from 50,000 ha to less than 2,000 ha due to varietal deterioration and competition from HYV. Four improved varieties, KN3, Bauna Kalanamak 101, Bauna Kalanamak 102 and Kalanamak Kiran were released in 2010, 2016, 2017and 2018 respectively. Last three varieties yield 50% more than traditional Kalanamak KN3 and mature 10 days earlier. Normal selling price of the Kalanamak paddy ranges between Rs. 2500/- to Rs. 3500/- per quintal. In spite of MSP announced by the governments, most farmers sell their HYV paddy around Rs. 1300/- per quintal. Cost of cultivation of Kalanamak and yield the same as HYV now, farmers get three times more net profit. Organic Kalanamak fetches 20% premium over normal Kalanamak. Summarily compared to Rs. 17,500 / ha net profit from common HYV rice, Kalanamak KN3 will give Rs. 44,375, Bauna Kalanamak Rs. 71,500 and Organic Kalanamak Rs. 92,500 per hectare net profit. With the PRDF arranged contract growing, by involving farmers and marketing companies from Kharif 2018, tripling the net profit of the farmers is assured sustainably. Thus, the proverb “Paddy and Poverty go together” is a myth now.

Abstract Background There has been a piqued interest in alternative agricultural production systems that are environmentally friendly due to concerns on how sustainable it is to grow conventionally. However, in the producer’s point of view, economic returns are an important issue in decision-making in adaptation. The purpose of this study is to assess the economic risk of conventional and organic sweetpotato production in the Southeastern US. The primary and secondary data were used for the analysis. We identified risk variables in stochastic profit function and performed Monte Carlo simulation in analyzing profitability and economic risk of conventional and organic production systems. Results Findings from the meta-analysis suggest lower sweetpotato yields and higher selling prices, are to be expected in the organic sweetpotato production systems compared with the conventional. A higher probability of having positive net return from organically grown sweetpotato compared to conventional production systems was observed. Conclusions Increase in unit cost leads to a decrease in net profit in both conventional and organic production systems. Sweetpotato price has more effect on net return compared to its yield in conventional production systems. The higher selling price, lower yield and lower unit costs provide a higher net profit return for the organic sweetpotato production systems. Unit cost in conventional production was noted to be higher in general, inferring conventional sweetpotato production could potentially experience a higher variability in net farm income. Despite the high production cost, however, farmers are encouraged to go into sweetpotato production as it appears to be profitable. Further studies should be conducted on conventional treatments without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers as these systems perhaps, may display lower external input costs that might make them more profitable similar to organic systems.
