This research explains and analyzes the productivity and sustainability of the tomato agricultural sub-sector. Productivity problems occur when farmers are harvested and the price decline is economically unfavorable for farmers. In addition, it will have an impact onsustainability as a center for tomato production. The survey was conducted on 100 farmers in Kenagarian Selayo, Tanah Bukik Sileh. The data is processed using the production model and agricultural costs to observe the productivity and sustainability of the tomato sub-sector. The research findings show that input factors still reduce return to scale and economic productivity still needs to be improved. The cost side is not economically efficient with a low variable cost coefficient. Therefore, the tomato sub-sector of agriculture will be threatened by unsustainability, if there is negligence by policy makers. It is recommended to the village government to create a rural production center for tomatoes and derivatives from tomato products to maintain the sustainability of the tomato production center.

The study was conducted to analyse the comparative economic analysis and profitability of tomato production in selected districts of Punjab state. A primary data was collected in the year 2019-20 by using multistage stratified random sampling technique. Two top ranking districts namely Amritsar and Patiala on the basis of highest area under tomato crop were purposively selected in the Punjab state. A sample of 200 tomato growers were selected, 100 each from both the districts from 21 producing villages selected from Patiala and Amritsar district of Punjab state. The results of the study indicated that the average area under tomato crop was highest in case of Amritsar district i.e. 10.90 acres as compared to 2.98 acres in Patiala district. Majority of the farmers in both the districts were using hybrid varities. 575 variety is basically demanded by the factories or tomato companies and mostly preferred by processing firms. The total variable cost was estimated highest in case of Patiala district (Rs.59262.63/acre) as compared to Amritsar district (Rs.47779.15/acre) due to the difference in their cultivation methods (Bamboo staking vs open field cultivation), varietal difference, nursery preparation methods, seasonal and geographical difference. The returns over variable cost was found higher in case of Patiala district i.e. Rs. 85142.42 than Amritsar district (Rs.61882.74). The study concluded that the tomato cultivation in Patiala district was found more profitable than Amritsar district. It was recommended that the primary agricultural credit cooperative societies and other funding agencies should be persuaded to provide adequate short term credit facilities to cover the higher operational cost. Government should ensure the supply of hybrid seeds to tomato growers at subsidized rates and ensure better minimum support price to tomato growers so that farmers received price at least cost equal to the cost of production.

The people in Kabuaran village used to defecate haphazardly. Since a sanitation program for healthy closet was promulgated, the people have been used to using water closet. To date, the village has been renowned as Open Defecation Free (ODF) Village, which is national award endowed to an area where the poeple no longer defecate haphazardly. The present study applied qualitative approach. The paradigm founded the study was criticism paradigm, coupled with the theory of Hegemony and Gramsci domination, adopted from Marx. The research findings evinced that the public behavioural change represented government’s control, actualized by local government. The synergy was a structure operationalized for positive behavioural change to stop haphazard defecating. Numerous innovations and initiatives were carried out by the village government, be it providing public toilet, clean water program, and water closet provision. It was at this juncture that domination mechanism was at work. In this regard, the village government accidentally involved traditional intellects, religious figures, to take part in accruing public awareness, which was done in hegemonic manner through regular Al-Qur’an recital.

This study was undertaken to develop a year round fodder production model for small scale dairy farmers. Five pregnant dairy cows of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) genotype were selected. For rearing five cows, 66 decimal of land was selected from existing fodder plots under Pachutia Research Farm at Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Savar, Dhaka. The selected land was divided into two parts (33 decimal in each). One part was brought under perennial (Napier-4 and Splendida) and the 2nd part of land for seasonal (Maize & Matikalai) fodder production. Data on live weight and live weight gain of cows, birth weight of calves, feed intake, milk production, actual biomass yield for both perennial and seasonal fodder, yearly manure production were recorded and calculated. Napier-4 grass, splendida, maize, straw, silage were supplied to the experimental cows according to the seasonal availability in different months. Concentrate mixture were also supplied consisting of wheat bran, kheshari (red gram), soybean meal, maize crushed, til oil cake, DCP and common salt. Economics of the model revealed that considering the sale of milk, calves and manure and cost included only feed and land leased, a farm/family rearing 5 indigenous dairy cows with his/her family labours, he/she could earn around BDT 98 thousand in a year (1$ = 85 BDT) and the benefit cost ratio of the model on total variable cost and total cost were 1.86 and 1.66, respectively. Therefore, it may be recommended that a farmer having 5 adult dairy cows with 66 decimal land under fodder cultivation may earn substantial share of his/her family income as small-scale rural dairying.

This study focuses on examining the impact of three components of materialism on green purchase intention for urban consumers in Vietnam, an emerging economy. An extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is applied as the conceptual framework for this study. The hypotheses are empirically tested using survey data obtained from consumers in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The regression results show support for most of our hypotheses. The findings indicate that two out of three facets of materialism are significant predictors of green purchase intention. Specifically, success is found to be negatively related to purchase intention, while happiness is related positively to the intention. All three antecedents in the TPB model, including attitude towards green purchase, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are also found to have positive impacts on purchase intention. The research findings are discussed and implications for managers and policy makers are provided.
