Upland rice has been cultivated by intercropping patterns on the logged area of the teak forest in Java Island for a long time. However, the activities of upland rice farming are still subsistence and not profit-oriented. This study aims to determine the feasibility of upland rice farming on the logged area of teak forests based on farming productivity. Data was collected using a survey and interview to 30 farmers who cultivated upland rice on the logged area of Perhutani teak forest. To find out the productivity of upland rice farming, an analysis on land productivity, labor productivity, and capital productivity was carried out. The results showed that the upland rice farming on the logged area of teak forest feasible to do with land productivity of IDR 579,028 per 0.24 ha, labor productivity of IDR 55,200 per day and capital productivity of 17.13%.

Factors Of Production

The objective of the study was to assess the productivity of horticultural production factors in Poland in the years 2004- 2014. The general characteristics of horticultural holdings in Poland were determined, including the productivity of labor and capital, as well as the productivity of land per hectare of UAA. The average farm size increased by 6% on average in the period 2006-2014 and reached 6 hectares in 2014. It was found that in the horticultural farms the productivity of all factors of production in nominal terms increased. In real terms, labor productivity decreased by about 16.6%, capital productivity remained at the same level, and land productivity decreased by more than 52.3%. The production value for 1 AWU was 81,000 in 2014, for 1 ha 38 thous. zł, and for 1 zł of assets 0.38 zł. The observed tendencies of changes in factor productivity and income levels indicate that the scale of production, including farm size, is needed to grow in order to maintain the viability of farms.

The paper is devoted to one of the most acute problems in the world economy - regional uneven development of agriculture. The author determined the system of indicators that describe the uneven distribution of agricultural production between different regions of the world, studied the factors of efficiency of agricultural production - labor productivity, land productivity, capital productivity (capital return). The article demonstrates further consolidation of the trend of the second half of the XX century that manifested in the redistribution of agricultural production from North America and Europe to Asia, Africa, and Australia. The GDP created in agriculture in Asia already exceeded other regions of the world in 2000, and by 2017 the gap was even wider. Africa, having surpassed Europe in this indicator, ranked second in the world. The unevenness of economic growth in world agriculture manifested itself in the disproportions between the factors of efficiency of agricultural production - labor productivity and land productivity. Labor productivity was lowest in Asia and Africa, and the highest in Australia. Land productivity was characterized by diametrically opposite dynamics: the highest values were achieved in Asia, and the lowest - in Australia. The paper explains the disparity between labor productivity and land productivity by various technological modes of production (TMP) that have historically developed in agriculture in the East and West: land-saving TMP - in the East, and labor-saving TMP - in the West. The influence of informal institutions operating in traditional rural societies on the uneven development of agriculture is also studied. The disproportions in the development of the livestock sector of agricultural production, affecting the regional uneven development of the agricultural economy, are considered. The main forms and methods of organization of the livestock sector - from high-intensity to traditional - are analyzed. Special attention is paid to nomadic cattle breeding, which is currently preserved in various forms in 50 countries of the world. It is considered as a special nomad production mode. The article concludes that there is a need for a multipronged approach to conducting an international comparative analysis of capital productivity (index of capital return) in the agricultural sector of the economy that takes into account capital-labor ration a large-scale increase in labor productivity - a strategically important factor of economic growth in any country in the world.

Productivity Theory

Tourism productivity measures are quite diverse, not always compatible and usually based partly on labor productivity for hotels and restaurants. This article develops a holistic approach that integrates the principles of the growth accounting framework and tourism satellite account to measure multifactor productivity, labor productivity and capital productivity for the Australian tourism industry. This study shows that tourism has been identified as a reservoir for other industries through the ebbs and flows of labor demands. Compared with the rest of the economy, the average growth of labor productivity—that is, income per unit of labor—for tourism is stagnant, and has reached an unprecedented low, six times below the market sector average, mainly because of low multifactor productivity. The results are valuable for policy makers and the lobbying groups wanting to identify areas of need for policy changes to ensure the healthy long-term growth of tourism.

Apple Production

Outsourcing, as a productive service, has been widely adopted in industrial production and international trade but less applied in agricultural management. With the advancement of agricultural labor division and specialization, outsourcing is becoming one of the most sustained trends in concurrent business. This study used a multiple linear regression and a propensity score matching model to quantify the different effects of participation in production outsourcing on farmers’ apple production efficiency and apple income based on field survey data from 960 apple farmers in the Shandong, Shaanxi, and Gansu Provinces. The results showed that, on average, the outsourcing of apple production increased farmers’ apple production technology efficiency by 5.60%, their labor productivity by 2121.48 kg/person, land productivity by 334.50 kg/mu, capital productivity by 0.05 kg/Yuan, and apple sales revenue by 13,300 Yuan. However, farmers’ net income from apples decreased by an average of 5000 Yuan. The outsourcing of apple production, which is labor-intensive, is constrained by the increase in labor costs, which, in turn, affect the transformation of the apple industry into a service-scale operation driven by the economy of division.

Exclusion Method

To identify determinants of labor productivity, correlation relationships were estimated for indicators reflecting the influence of 30 socio-economic and innovative factors in the regions for 2015-2017. Of the 30 factors, for some factors, a significant correlation was found, characterizing their indicators and labor productivity. For these indicators, models of linear production functions were constructed. Modeling made it possible to establish that the following factors have a significant impact on labor productivity: capital productivity, investment, foreign investment, the number of government employees, wages, income inequalities, the number of university faculty, the number of advanced production technologies used, and the consumer price index. The instability of assessing the impact of indicators characterizing the determinants of labor productivity can be explained by two reasons of a different nature. Firstly, the development of the country's economic system at present may in fact be unstable. This problem determines the need for additional research. Secondly, the models obtained by the standard inclusion-exclusion method without taking into account and eliminating the multicollenarity effect can significantly reduce the reliability of estimates obtained by the least common square method. This determines the need to continue work using a more advanced modeling technique.

This study aimed to determine index and status of upland rice farming sustainability in terms of economic, ecological, socio-cultural, legal and institutional as well as technological and infrastructural dimensions; to identify what attributes are sensitive to upland rice farming sustainability; and to establish the strategy for upland rice farming sustainability in Bangli District of Bali Province. Data analysis was performed using RAP-FARM through Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method, leverage and prospective analysis. Based on the results, the sustainability index of upland rice farming for ecological (60.21) and socio-cultural dimension (56.98) were categorized as quite sustainable. Meanwhile, for economic (41.53), legal and institutional (27.80), technological and infrastructural dimensions (36.61) were classified as less sustainable. In multidimensional term, index value and sustainability status of upland rice farming were considered as less sustainable (44.63). On the leverage analysis, 15 sensitive attributes of 5 sustainability dimensions were acquired. On the prospective analysis, 6 key variables had a strong effect on the upland rice farming sustainability, namely last five-year government subsidies, inorganic fertilizer usage level, organic fertilizer usage level, straw utilization as organic fertilizer, rice price stability among farmers, and frequency of counseling and training activities. To improve the status of upland rice farming sustainability, efforts should be performed through intervening sensitive attributes and establishing a sustainability strategy.

For a more comprehensive look at the life of rice farmers in the context of environmental change, research on the change of the living standards of rice farming households in the period of 2005-2014 is done. In this study, social survey is utilized with sample size of 46 rice farming households in 6 districts in An Giang province (7-8 households/district on average) with the tool for data collection and analyzing having been the chart of selfevaluation of rice farmers on their living standards in the last 10 years. The study results showed that rice farming livelihood improves the life of farmers. However, if considered it during a long time, the living standard of the majority of rice farming households did not increase. Rice production is a kind of livelihood related to risks caused by negative change of the natural environment and the rice market's volatility. To adapt with the change of environment and to maintain the living standard, the rice farmers have implemented such solutions as livelihood diversification, plant transformation, increase of the cultivated areas and of investment in education for their children. Together with the goal of ensuring food security and enhancing rice exports, it is necessary to ensure profit, living standards of rice farmers, to strengthen their resources adapting to climate change, and to link the production with the market and international integration.
