Cultivation Practices

Sweet cherry is a type of fruit that is high on demand in exports for table consumption. Turkey is a gene centre for sweet cherry fruit. Fruits are produced over an extended period because of the ecological richness and large cultivation area, which allows Turkey to remain as the leader of sweet cherry production in the world. The variety, ‘0900 Ziraat’, also known as the Turkish sweet cherry fruit, has the highest production volume. Mazzard and Mahaleb are the commonly used rootstocks for sweet cherry cultivation; and Mazzard is used more frequently than Mahaleb. Clonal rootstocks are used to maintain cultivation in new orchards. The present study provides a detailed information on the current status of sweet cherry fruit cultivation in Turkey as well as its cultivation practices and exports. It is targeted that modern irrigation techniques, good agricultural practices, and increased cultivation areas are established to maintain Turkey’s position as the leader in global sweet cherry production and exports.

The conflict between farmers and herders have constituted serious concerns and impediments to development in Nigeria. Development entails food security, of which dairy needs are integral. The global campaign for good agricultural practices (GAP) essentially focuses on the preservation of humans, animals and the general ecosystem, as the world continues to confront the depletion of the ozone layers. In Nigeria, the development concerns of farmers-herders’ conflicts are not only pertinent but also daunting as the protracted conflicts increase the burden of food insecurity, human insecurity, ethic/tribal tensions and underdevelopment outcomes. While the challenges posed by the farmers-herders’ conflicts are serious, existentially threatening and hydra-headed, their impacts on development of the country are massive and require urgent attention research and policy terms. This is because development can only be sustainable in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. But in situations where conflicts and insecurity are near intractable, development may be mere desideratum. It is against this background that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was used to examine the context, burden and tractability of farmers-herders’ conflicts in Nigeria with a view to unpacking the interface of (in)security and development relative to food security in Nigeria.

<p>Indonesia is currently still the world’s prime exporter of nutmeg. Meanwhile, the quality requirements demanded by the world market continue to increase that needs Indonesian intention seriously. This article reveals the performance of Indonesian and global nutmeg production, competitiveness and potential, challenges and opportunities of Indonesia to survive as the major world’s producer and supplier of nutmeg. In 2019, Indonesia produced 37 thousand tons and exported 20 thousand tons to fill 52 thousand tons of the nutmeg world market, with India (12 thousand tons), Sri Lanka (3 thousand tons), and other countries. Unfortunately, Indonesian nutmeg price is lower than Grenada and India, even European Union (EU), the USA, and Japan rejected Indonesian nutmeg 54 times from 2014 to 2016. Indonesia’s potential as a major producer of nutmeg is still good because this commodity is an indigenous plant of Indonesia, the land and climate are suitable for the nutmeg development, and the cultivation method is in line with GAP (Good Agricultural Practices). The challenge is that the quality standard of nutmeg products is getting higher, so be necessary to develop the farmers to meet the standard. The strategy to maintain Indonesia as the world’s main nutmeg producer and supplier is; 1) increasing the intensity of assistance to improve farmers knowledge regarding quality, health, food safety, and sustainable production as well as post-harvest technology, 2) improving professionalism, skill, and adequacy of assistant officers, 3) continuing to encourage nutmeg cultivation following GAP, and 4) lessons learned from the country of Grenada in policy intervention to improve quality, product diversification, and product safety of nutmeg.</p><p>Keywords: Myristica fragrans, production, export, quality</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong>STRATEGI MEMPERTAHANKAN INDONESIA SEBAGAI PRODUSEN</strong><br /><strong>UTAMA PALA DUNIA</strong></p><p>Indonesia saat ini masih berstatus sebagai eksportir utama pala dunia. Sementara itu, persyaratan mutu pala di pasar dunia terus meningkat yang perlu mendapat perhatian serius agar Indonesia tetap menjadi produsen utama pala. Artikel ini mengungkapkan tren produksi pala Indonesia dan dunia, daya saing, potensi, tantangan, dan peluang untuk bertahan sebagai produsen dan pemasok utama pala dunia. Pada tahun 2019 Indonesia menghasilkan 37 ribu ton pala dan mengekspor 20 ribu ton untuk mengisi 52 ribu ton pasar pala dunia, bersama India (12 ribu ton), Srilangka (3 ribu ton), dan beberapa negara lainnya. Sayangnya, harga pala Indonesia lebih rendah dari pala Grenada dan India, bahkan pada tahun 2014-2016 terjadi 54 kasus penolakan ekspor pala Indonesia ke Uni Eropa, Amerika Serikat, dan Jepang. Potensi Indonesia sebagai produsen utama pala masih baik karena komoditas ini merupakan tanaman asli Indonesia, lahan dan iklim sesuai untuk pengembangan pala, dan cara budi daya sejalan dengan GAP (Good Agricultural Practices). Tantangan yang dihadapi adalah semakin tingginya standar mutu produk pala di pasar dunia sehingga perlu pembinaan petani untuk memenuhi standar tersebut. Strategi untuk mempertahankan Indonesia sebagai penghasil dan pemasok utama pala dunia adalah sebagai berikut: 1) meningkatkan intensitas pendampingan agar petani lebih paham terhadap aspek mutu, kesehatan, keamanan pangan, keberlanjutan produksi, dan pengelolaan pascapanen untuk memperbaiki mutu pala; 2) memperbaiki profesionalitas, kecakapan, dan kecukupan petugas pendamping; 3) mendorong petani untuk mengikuti budi daya pala sesuai GAP; dan 4) mengambil pembelajaran dari Grenada dalam mengintervensi kebijakan untuk meningkatkan produksi, mutu, diversifikasi, dan keamanan produk pala.</p><p>Kata kunci: Pala, produksi, ekspor, mutu</p>

Good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good handling practices (GHPs) encompass the general procedures that growers, packers and processors of fresh fruits and vegetables should follow to ensure the safety of their product. GAPs usually deal with preharvest practices (i.e., in the field), while GHPs cover postharvest practices, including packing, storage and shipping. This factsheet covers GAPs relating to packing operation sanitation. There are seven other Florida Cooperative Extension factsheets in the ‘Food Safety on the Farm’ series that focus on specific aspects of the GAPs program and how they relate to Florida crops and practices. Under the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), GAPs are a foundation of the Produce Safety Rule (PSR). Other than for round tomatoes in Florida (T-GAPs regulation), GAPs have mainly been a voluntary program. Additionally the PSR mandates all non-exempt operations to follow these new FSMA federal guidelines (6), but all exempt commodities and for those producers exporting to foreign countries, GAPs may still be required. Both the mandatory PSR and GAPs aim to reduce the foodborne illness burden associated with produce.

The author of the article discloses the prospects of development of the world feed production for aquaculture based on the analysis of key innovative technological and market trends. The author specifies that shortage, high cost, low ecological compatibility of traditional raw materials - fish flour - are among major limiting factors in the development of production of feeds for aquaculture. This fact, in turn, limits sustainable development of aquaculture both in Russia, and in the world in general. The article presents the overview of a current status of the world industry of feed production in aquaculture, where the regional situation is studied, as well. For the first time, there is given the outlook of innovative technologies in feed production based on the alternative sources of protein (on the example of projects of leading aquabiotechnological companies) which will determine industry’s objectives for the mid-term perspective.

Abstract The bulk of the scholarly literature on city-regions and their governance is drawn from contexts where economic and political systems have been stable over an extended period. However, many parts of the world, including all countries in the BRICS, have experienced far-reaching national transformations in the recent past in economic and/or political systems. The national transitions are complex, with a mix of continuity and rupture, while their translation into the scale of the city-region is often indirect. But, these transitions have been significant for the city-region, providing a period of opportunity and institutional fluidity. Studies of the BRICS show that outcomes of transitions are varied but that there are junctures of productive comparison including the ways in which the nature of the transitions create new path dependencies, and way in which interests across territorial scales soon consolidate, producing new rigidities in city-region governance.

he Coronavirus pandemic that spread around the world in the first half of 2020 brought impacts to society that will be registered for an extended period. In this paper, the effects showed an impossibility to maintain the progress of mineral research made by professionals in the academic and scientific areas. In an attempt to find justifications in the legal order of the mineral industry, to continue the work, it was faced with imposing environmental legislation that made a claim even more difficult. It was found that the Mining Code in place no longer regulates the activities of extraction of mineral specimens for museums, educational establishments and other scientific purposes. This left the legal security tied only to the interpretation of legal provisions in articles of the code and its regulation, as well as procedure manuals for environmental inspection bodies, and therefore, subject to the consequences of legal disputes with final decisions in higher courts, given the claim of superiority of the environmental issue over mining.

Background: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect a huge population of the world and majority of the victims belong to the poor community of the developing countries. Until now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified 20 tropical diseases as NTDs that must be addressed with high priority. However, many heterocyclic scaffolds have demonstrated potent therapeutic activity against several NTDs. Objective: There are three major objectives: (1) To discuss the causes, symptoms, and current status of all the 20 NTDs; (2) To explore the available heterocyclic drugs, and their mechanism of actions (if known) that are being used to treat NTDs; (3) To develop general awareness on NTDs among the medicinal/health research community and beyond. Methods: The 20 NTDs have been discussed according to their alphabetic orders along with the possible heterocyclic remedies. Current status of treatment with an emphasis on the heterocyclic drugs (commercially available and investigational) has been outlined. In addition, brief discussion of the impacts of NTDs on socio-economic condition is included. Results: NTDs are often difficult to diagnose and the problem is worsened by the unhealthy hygiene, improper awareness, and inadequate healthcare in the developing countries where these diseases primarily affect poor people. The statistics include duration of suffering, numbers affected, and access to healthcare and medication. The mechanism of actions of various heterocyclic drugs, if reported, have been briefly summarized. Conclusion: Scientists and pharmaceutical corporations should allocate more resources to reveal the in-depth mechanism of actions of many heterocyclic drugs that are currently being used for the treatment of NTDs. Analysis of current heterocyclic compounds and development of new medications can help in the fight to reduce/remove the devastating effects of NTDs. An opinion-based concise review has been presented. Based on available literature, this is the first effect to present all the 20 NTDs and related heterocyclic compounds under the same umbrella.

Current Scenario

Financial Literacy is defined as the possession of knowledge and understanding of elementary financial concepts which results in developing the ability to make conversant, poised and effective financial decisions. In current scenario, the concern to increase the level of financial literacy among common masses has been witnessed by many countries of the world through various Financial Literacy center, programme and initiatives but all these programmes and policies are crafted and implemented taking into consideration the male as ultimate receiver and so women who constitute half of the rural population are lagging behind in terms of a making informed financial decisions and financial wellbeing. Hence Strategies should be formulated taking into consideration the women as the main spectators. This paper is an attempt to analyze the current status of the financial literacy among the rural women of the Darbhanga district.

Dating back to medieval times, fruit cultivation in Hardanger in western Norway is rooted in what is portrayed as a perfect microclimate naturally yielding the best apples in the world. However, the viability of the comparatively minute Norwegian fruit trade is continuously threatened by competition from outside, spurring all kinds of initiatives and policies to make it sustainable. The Norwegian fruit landscape, in other words, is both the natural and perfect home of world-class fruit and a site for continuous, often state-driven interventions to make it so; indeed, the perfection of the place accentuates the need to do what it takes to make it thrive. The necessary means to accomplish such viability, however, make up a complex terrain, as the resourcefulness of the Norwegian fruit landscape is ‘measured’ according to very different units.
