Coffee is one of the agricultural commodities that can become Indonesia's export booster. The value of world coffee consumption is increasing every year and Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, so it has a great opportunity to increase the coffee market. Hence, in the last ten years Indonesia's land area, production, and coffee productivity have stagnated. Though competitors began to emerge from neighboring countries. This study aims to map the state levy policy both in the form of incentives and disincentives to encourage the development of this commodity and the efforts made to minimize the burden of state levies that are disincentive. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of in-depth interviews and secondary data. The results of the study show that there are several incentive policies such as income tax incentives for investment, VAT exemptions for several inputs, and exemption from import duties. The disincentive levy is VAT collection on the delivery of coffee beans which has an impact on the export competitiveness of coffee. One solution that has been issued by the government is to give an initial return on tax overpayment. The government needs to provide special treatment for VAT on this commodity as other countries do. The results of the study are expected to be used to improve the collection policy, particularly those that are disincentives to encourage superior agricultural products to export better.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between youth empowerment and sustainable development (SD) with regards to the Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP).Design/methodology/approachData were collected from randomly selected respondents (n=275) studying in Higher Education Institutions through online and self-administered structured questionnaire and from multiple secondary data sources.FindingsThe research findings infer that youth empowerment is significantly affected by the PMYP and there is a significant positive relationship between youth empowerment and SD. Overall, respondents appear to be satisfied with the program offerings and consider it a genuine effort toward youth empowerment for SD, but such notion also necessitates an integrated youth development paradigm in Pakistan.Research limitations/implicationsThe cornerstone of nation’s development is an established realization worldwide that the involvement of youth in development processes is essential to save the country from “youth bulge” while converting this contour into a “demographic dividend.” It was, therefore, pertinent to explore how development actors can engage youth in order to transform priority areas into development programming and policies.Originality/valueThis study deals with quite an unexplored phenomenon of youth empowerment; hence, it serves as one of the first studies to provide evidence of the relationship between youth empowerment and SD in Pakistan’s perspective. Further, it also provides a basis for carrying out advance research on youth empowerment which may assist the government, NGOs and other donor agencies to understand youth issues and blueprint apposite strategies accordingly.

Slum Settlements

The population in urban areas continues to increase while the land owned is limited which results in slum settlements in urban areas. Slum settlements in Medan City often appear in areas where buildings should not be allowed, such as in watersheds. Deli River as a large river that divides Medan City, there are still many slum settlements in the watershed. Management of slum settlements based on sustainable development is needed to provide a long-term impact, especially for the preservation and restoration of the function of the Deli River. This study aims to analyze the management of slum settlements based on sustainable development indicators in achieving sustainable development, namely ecological sustainability, economic sustainability, socio-cultural sustainability, political sustainability, and defense and security sustainability. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Sources of research data by collecting primary data through interviews and secondary data through documentation and observation studies. The management of slum settlements based on sustainable development in the Deli watershed is still not optimal in terms of ecological sustainability, economic sustainability, and defense and security sustainability. Meanwhile, socio-cultural sustainability and political sustainability are quite optimal. The government must manage slum settlements based on sustainable development through an approach with the community and provide viable housing alternatives so that people do not live in watershed areas.

Cashew Nut Shell

Guinea-Bissau has recently become the fifth largest producer and exporter in the world of Cashew Nut Shell (CNS) and the product accounts for 90% of the country’s total exports. The objective of this study was to analyze the expansion of cashew cultivation and its environmental and economic impacts on the country, from the perspective of sustainable development. In the methodology, correlational statistical analyses were used, based on multiple regression, correlation, and linear regression techniques. To qualify the empirical results based on the historical series of secondary data, an online questionnaire was applied to nine experts to assess the impacts of sector-specific public policies on Cashew Nut Shell Production (CNSP) and Cashew Nut Shell Export (CNSE). Finally, geoprocessing techniques were used to identify the deforestation trends in the country (2002-2018). As main results, it was verified that from 2000 to 2015, the CNSE accounted for an average of 8.9% of the country’s GDP. As for environmental impacts, it was found that between 2002 and 2012, the country’s deforestation was explained by the CNSP (p < 0.001 and R² = 0.91), whereas between 2013 and 2017, although positively associated, the relationship was not significant. Geoprocessed data on vegetation cover indicate that from 2002 to 2018, accumulated deforestation was intensified mainly in the southern and northern regions of the country. To make full use of cashew, a greater effort is needed from the Government and the productive sectors, which would allow the sustainable development of the sector and a substantial increase in the production of other crops.

A lockdown is a set of restrictive actions, in the implementation of which countries face a case of chain reaction: In order to protect human lives and health, the states, due to imbalances in fiscal and monetary policies caused by uncollected planned revenues and unplanned excessive budget expenditures, experience a socio-economic recession. The current paper focuses on the first lockdown implemented in Lithuania to control the spread of COVID-19, which took place from 16 March, 2020 until 16 June, 2020. The main object of the paper is the components that defined the efficiency of the government intervention measures intended to support businesses affected by the first lockdown regime. By generating the mentioned components, we followed the principle of the philosophy of sustainable development: the interdependence of economic, social, environmental, and institutional elements; coherence; and sustainable development. Efficiency is the art of choice, where it is necessary to anticipate the final aim, resulting in maximum benefit from the arrangement of the available limited resources. However, in order to measure the effectiveness of government interventions, we were faced with differences in interpretations of the measurement of the effectiveness of policy decisions. In the course of the research, after analysing secondary data, we identified and, by means of modelling techniques, visualised the main components to estimate the efficiency of the government intervention measures. The theoretical model demonstrated that economic instruments—volume, price, time, transparency, and results—defined the efficiency of their implementation.

Green economy is considered to be the emerging economy of the twenty-first century, as the world is changing its development path from unjust development to environmentally sensitive green development. Making the economy environmentally sustainable is no longer an option but an urgent necessity to achieve a balanced vision between social justice and environmental future. This work highlights the statues of the environment in Oman and the efforts to overcome the difficulties that prevent the transition to a green economy. This will encourage people to consider innovation and think about the values that will be gained from the transformation of the economy. Due to increased greenhouse gas emissions from industries based on non-renewable sources of energy, harmful carbon effects and scarce resources will increase in the near future. It is necessary to know the extent to which the Omani economy is green and the extent of its growth policies corresponding’s to the transformation of the economy. It is equally important to analyze which mechanisms the government will adopt to reduce carbon emissions and global warming. This paper will explain the relationship between Green economy and Sustainable development in Oman and to what extant Oman is green. The objectives are to establish the relationship between green economy and sustainable development in the Omani context, to assess and measure the role of the green economy in achieving goals of sustainable benefits for the local economy. Also, it is important to inform the public about the importance of using green economy for the next generations and encouraging individuals to contribute to environmental protection on daily life routine, and to achieving a balanced vision between social justice and environmental future. The methodology considers the three types of indicators: Economic indicators, Environmental indicators related to economic activity, and Aggregate indicators on the path of progress and social welfare. In addition to primary and secondary data. The main outcome of this research is that the Sultanate is not green growing, as it is still highly dependent on non-renewable resources, therefore Oman should set a stronger lows on this issue.
