The development of integrated agroindustry in superior commodity-based agritourism becomes one of the programs to help to increase the villager’s welfare. Complete and effective planning is needed to develop integrated agroindustry in agritourism with less risk of failure in implementation. The objective of this research was to develop an integrated agroindustry in pineapple-based agritourism in Pemalang Regency, including to determine the preferred agritourism facilities and pineapple-based products, and to determine the strategic location, and techno-economic analysis of pineapple-based factory. The respondent’s preferences for agritourism facilities and pineapple-based products were collected by using a questionnaire. The strategic location was determined by using the Exponential Comparison Method. The feasibility of a pineapple-based factory consisted of the calculation of NPV, IRR, Net B/C, PBP, and BEP. The results showed that the priority for procuring agro-tourism facilities was the activity of pineapple processing tours, gazebos, children's playgrounds, cafeterias or eating places, photo spots, souvenir shops, pineapple field tours, and internet access. The more preferred products were fresh pineapple, pineapple pie, jelly, sweets, jam, chips, juice, nata de pina, candy, syrup, and stick. Belik District was chosen as the strategic location for agritourism based on pineapple. The pineapple-based factory was feasible for an establishment with investment cost of Rp12,287,857,290; working capital of Rp5,292,243,387; NPV of Rp18,506,493,138; IRR of 19.03%; PBP of 4.26 year; Net B/C of 2.51; and BEPof  41.47%.

This paper explores the potency of rural cooperatives for the effective planning and implementation of rural strategies to address poverty. Rural cooperatives function as a participatory approach that provides the potential to equip and empower people in rural areas with various skills. Hence, rural cooperatives represent the means and strategies to unshackle rural people from the vicious circle of poverty. The contestation about a deadlock of rural development has become pertinent in the recent and ongoing political transformation in South Africa. This paper is grounded on the social capital theory and its ideals. As such, it depends on a literature review for its premise, argument, crux and purpose, as well as drawing up results and conclusions. The paper gathers information in respect of various scholars’ notions on rural cooperatives and rural development from related articles, journals and books. The paper reveals that where the South African government is confronted and characterised by some form of upheaval and service delivery challenges, so rural cooperatives are fit to capacitate citizens to avoid depending on the government for scarce resources. The paper further reveals that rural cooperatives are deemed to ameliorate the long-standing patterns of developmental backlogs in almost all South African municipalities. The conclusion that can be made from this paper is that the authentic promotion of rural development in the formulation of a well-informed legislative framework, that is clear and unambiguous, can deal effectively with the challenges of rural cooperatives.

Parma Pdo Ham sector is characterized by the great presence of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and by high absorption of capital to finance investments in fixed assets and working capital. The aging of pork leg causes in fact a high capital requirements for a period of at least 12 months and even 18/24 months. In that case, economic analysis and financial analysis may show different results, since situations of non-financial sustainability even in case of positive profitability. The paper covers the methodology for the analysis of the profitability and sustainability of firm management and suggests specific indices to analyze the firms of the sector. The analysis show that there is a statistically significant difference between economic and financial results in the sector and the application of financial ratios proposed in the paper can better assess the sustainability of management. These ratios can find applications even in other sectors characterized by high capital absorption, particularly net working capital.

AbstractThe 1995 Farm Bill debate proved different than many economists expected. It was overwhelmingly budget-driven. Few early concerns about the role of government, efficiency, equity, competitiveness, environment, rural development, and food were addressed. Economic analysis played a different role than anticipated. Models of who and how farm policy is made proved misleading; the debate circumvented the traditional process. Economic models were used more to perform budget accounting than substantive analysis. And their substantive analyses often failed to capture the attention of policymakers. Hence, while a reformist economist's dream, the bill leaves as many issues unanswered as it addresses.

Petroleum downstream industry in Riau Province is still not optimal. The data shows that from 98,892,755 barrels lifting oil each year only 62,050,000 barrels could be processed in refinery unit II Dumai operated by PT Pertamina. There is a potential of 35-40% of downstream industry. Indonesian Government through The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources declared the construction of a mini refinery to boost oil processing output in the downstream sector. A feasibility study of development plan mini refinery is needed. The study includes production capacity analysis, product analysis, development & operational refinery  analysis and economic analysis. The results obtained by the mini refinery capacity is planned to process crude oil 6000 BOPD with the products produced are gasoline, kerosene, diesel and oil. Investment cost consist of is capital cost US $ 104419784 and operating cost US $ 13766734 each year with net profit earned US $ 12330063/year and rate of return from investment 11.63%

An estimation method of system cost, associated revenue and estimated profitability that applies to the broadcasting standards used in digital terrestrial networks is presented. The purpose of this research is to support and promote the adoption of innovative technologies that improve spectrum efficiency and flexible usage. The model presented should help key players to make choice on digital terrestrial broadcasting technologies driven by optimal investment cost and the techno-economic analysis. The results clearly show the early (in realistic multiple-multiplex cases even immediate) profitability of broadcast network if MPEG-4 and DVB-T2 standards are used.
