Over Time

While access to reliable electricity can significantly constrain industrial production, little is known as to how unreliability impacts firm level productivity. This is a particularly salient issue for firms in developing countries, where electricity provision is still unreliable and self-generation is costly. This paper analyzes the impact of electricity provision on productivity, instrumenting for electricity demand with district level solar irradiance. Results indicate that firms exhibit decreasing productivity in the initial stages of electricity adoption that decreases over time. Furthermore, I find that unreliability negatively impacts productivity initially and over time, and this effect is larger for smaller firms.

The Face

Economic projections into the year 2020 (Delgado et al., 1999) indicate that the global demand for animal products will increase sharply, particularly in developing countries, and suggest that the bulk of the increased production to meet this demand will come from large-scale, industrial production. Many smallholders in developing countries depend at least partly on livestock as a source of livelihood; for pastoralists, livestock are by definition the main source of livelihood.

The growing demand for livestock products in the developing world is expected to drive livestock production in these countries. Delgado et al. (1999) predict that by 2020, developing countries will produce on average 38% more meat and 54% more milk per capita than in the early 1990s. The livestock revolution could then translate into opportunities for smallholder livestock producers. In the case of ruminants, much of this increase may occur in mixed farming systems, rather than through industrial production. In 1991–93, mixed systems produced 92% of the world's milk, and 54% of the world's meat (de Haan et al., 1997).

Unemployment is one of the most important social problems faced by all developed and developing countries. While countries are developing technologically, production systems are changing and it is becoming hard for workforce to keep pace with these developments. From Macedonia's independence (1991) to 2010, the most important problem in the economy was unemployment. The fact that production ceased in the first years of independence caused both industrial production and total production to decline. Considering the fact that the factories does not work, new people joined to the unemployed group. The Macedonian economy has struggled with high unemployment for 25 years. According to data from the Macedonian statistics agency, the unemployment rate in 2010 was about 39 percent, but in 2015 it has decreased to 25 percent.In OECD countries are implemented active policies in 6 important categories to increase employment. Macedonia has been implementing these policies since 2007. These policies have begun to give positive results. In addition, the decrease in unemployment is linked to foreign investments, but also the policies to struggle unemployment by the government has affected.

Abstract Objective Industrial production of traditional fermented beverages in developing countries is limited by lack of commercial starter cultures. Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae MNC 21Y and Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum MNC 21 were identified as starter cultures for a Ugandan cereal beverage, Obushera. However, they are commercially unavailable due to lack of affordable appropriate propagating and preservation methods. In this study the starters were propagated in sorghum malt slurries (30 °C for 24 h) and stored at 5 °C and − 18 °C for 90 days. Viability and fermentation ability of the cultures was monitored. Results Viability was higher for starters stored at 5 °C (S. cerevisiae: 6 log cfu/g and L. plantarum: 7–9 log cfu/g during 90 days) than those at -18 °C (S. cerevisiae: 2 cfu/g and L. plantarum: 4 log cfu/g after 30 days). Refrigerated starters acidified Obushera (pH ≤ 4.5) faster (10–20 h) than frozen ones (18–24 h). Refrigerating the starters in sorghum malt slurries preserves them for at least three months. This provides an affordable option for starter commercialization and industrial production of traditional fermented foods.
