Business entities strive for continuous adaptation to changing situations and needs. The decisions of business entities entangled in multifaceted processes of economic, social, and environmental progress must be taken on the basis of reliable knowledge, developed know-how, scrupulous recognition of the initial state, and foresight of the multiple consequences of business actions over a long horizon. In such a situation, the measurement of financial efficiency in terms of the profitability of enterprises in meat and poultry industries is extremely desired and provides valuable information on the necessary modifications to reduce the potential risks of business operation. The Polish meat and poultry industries should take into account current and future market requirements, competition, and consumer response. The dynamic progress of technology is forced to take appropriate steps to improve and modernize products, services, and methods of solving profit losses. The aim of the paper is to calculate and evaluate the statistical relationships between profitability ratios in Polish meat and poultry enterprises divided into four groups: slaughterhouses, meat enterprises (small, medium, and large), poultry meat enterprises, and meat trade enterprises. In the theoretical part of the study, methods of descriptive, comparative, deductive, and synthetic analyses were used. In the practical part of the study, panel data from the entire meat and poultry industries in the period from 2010 to 2019 were used. For the measurement of financial efficiency, methods, such as financial indicator analysis, panel database modeling, and nonparametric ANOVA, were applied. The ANOVA method was used to test only the statistically significant relationships between profitability ratios across all groups of examined enterprises in the meat and poultry industries. To summarize, the optimal level of profitability was achieved by all groups of examined enterprises, except small meat enterprises. The highest financial efficiency in the area of profitability was reached by poultry enterprises. Moreover, financial support for small companies in the meat industry can bring tangible benefits such as maintaining a diversified product range locally and transforming small meat companies into buying centers for the local community. Both are effective solutions, especially in view of the post-pandemic situation.

Current trends in meat and meat products exports are considered. The dynamics and structural changes in meat exports by types and degree of processing (beef and veal, pork, poultry, finished meat products) are analyzed. The paper proves that in recent years, only meat and edible poultry by-products have taken a competitive position in the world market. Accordingly, the dynamics of exports of this type of meat is positive, and the share of these products in the structure of exported meat is the largest (86.09%). Possible threats to the growth of import dependence on certain types of meat products, in particular, chilled and frozen beef and veal, pork, are indicated. The rating of the largest countries-importers of meat and meat products (by types) from Ukraine is built, their share in the structure of meat exports is determined. Changes in the geographical structure of exports have been studied, which indicate a low level of diversification of the geography of exports of certain types of meat (pork, beef). At the same time, a positive development of the geographical structure of poultry meat exports (exported to more than 100 countries) was revealed. Problems of the export potential development in the meat industry of Ukraine are revealed. In particular, the problems of livestock development (outdated technologies and production techniques that reduce the efficiency and productivity; inefficiency of the organization of purchase and processing of meat, which leads to reduced breeding in small businesses and households; inefficiency of state incentives, etc.) and industrial meat production (lack of raw materials, obsolescence of fixed assets and production technologies, poorly developed logistics, etc.). The solution of these problems requires: a systematic approach, which will encourage the cooperation of agricultural and industrial production, cooperation with importers of meat products and protection of domestic producers in the domestic and international markets, creating a favorable investment and information environment that will promote the meat industry development.

Background. The total production of beef and pork is declining from year to year. The study of development trends in the meat industry of Ukraine will help to outline the prospects for the successful realization of potential opportunities for production expansion. An analysis of recent research and publications has shown that despite some scientific developments, dynamic changes in the meat processing industry require constant monitoring of unresolved issues. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state and characteristics of the meat processing industry of Ukraine on the basis of analytical research in general and in the context of its innovation activities in particular. Materials and methods. Research methods were used: monographic, statistical groupings, correlation-regression analysis, graphical. Results. Analysis of the dynamics of industrial meat production shows that beef and veal occupy the least share in it. The basis for ensuring the economic balance of production and economic relations of economic entities is the consistency of supply and demand for raw meat and products of its processing. For the successful development of the industry, the state must protect and stimulate domestic producers; to harmonize domestic standards of safety and quality of products in accordance with international ones. The innovative development of the meat market requires adequate investment support, and the stimulation of investment activity should be considered in the context of the strategy of development of the national economy on an innovative basis. Conclusion. Livestock production in general and meat in particular are one of the leading sectors of agriculture. In recentyears, there have been some trends in the dynamics and structure of meat production and consumption in favor of cheaper poultry meat. The reason for this is the reduction in production; increase in retail prices for all types of products; low incomes of the majority of the population. A necessary condition for the sustainable development of the meat processing industry is the introduction of European regulations on product quality and safety standards; introduction of resource-saving technologies at enterprises; reconstruction of enterprises; provision of production facilities with domestic raw materials.

Abstract Background. The United States’ large-scale poultry meat industry is energy and water intensive, and opportunities may exist to improve sustainability during the broiler chilling process. After harvest, the internal temperature of the chicken is rapidly cooled to inhibit bacterial growth that would otherwise compromise the safety of the product. This step is accomplished most commonly by water immersion chilling in the United States, while air chilling methods dominate other global markets. A comprehensive understanding of the differences between these chilling methods is lacking. Therefore, we assessed the meat quality, shelf-life, microbial ecology, and technoeconomic impacts of chilling methods on chicken broilers in a university meat laboratory setting. Results. We discovered that air-chilling (AC) methods resulted in superior chicken odor and shelf-life, especially prior to 14 days of dark storage. Moreover, we demonstrated that AC resulted in a more diverse microbiome that we hypothesize may delay the dominance of the spoilage organism Pseudomonas. Finally, a technoeconomic analysis highlighted potential economic advantages to AC when compared to water-chilling (WC) in facility locations where water costs are a more significant factor than energy costs. Conclusions. In this pilot study, AC chilling methods resulted in a superior product compared to WC methods and may have economic advantages in regions of the U.S. where water is expensive. As a next step, a similar experiment should be done in an industrial setting to confirm these results generated in a small-scale university lab facility.

In modern conditions of political confrontation and economic sanctions, ensuring national security is becoming a priority direction of state policy, not only in the long term, but also in the short term. The purpose of this study is to develop methodological support for assessing the level of industrial safety, which makes it possible to identify latent threats that reduce its level at each stage of the sugar beet business cycle. To achieve this goal, the structural and logical relationships of food independence, food security, industrial safety of sugar beet production were substantiated. The priority importance of industrial safety is proved for the economic development of business entities, ensuring the balance of their business interests and the formation of harmonious business relations, which make it possible to reduce the level of unused and underutilized opportunities. Using the example of the main stages of the beet-sugar business cycle - selection, seed production, beet growing, sugar production, sale (consumption) - a method for indicating industrial safety has been developed, which provides for the implementation of five stages and the implementation of an analytical complex consisting of nine indicators and six indicators. The proposed indicators at each stage of the sugar beet business cycle link the potential, actual and optimal level of indicators and make it possible to assess the balance of business relations and the level of industrial safety. The results of the indication can be used to analyze the actual state of the business cycle as a whole or its individual stages.

Over the past few years, external debt positions of South Asian economies have increased to alarming levels, indicating that those countries are more likely to be exposed to a debt crisis. Given the low domestic savings rate of these economies, they are increasingly compelled to invest significant resources in public infrastructure in order to maintain sustainable growth momentum. At the same time, those countries are invited to enrich by integrating with global synergies in the fields of maritime, trade, and financial initiatives. However, as the recent controversy over the debt-growth association is inconclusive to date; preserving the external debt exposures at an optimal level is incumbent. Consequently, this study reviews annual observations of independent cross-sections of South Asia during the period 1981-2017 in order to find the external debt-growth relationship. In addition, the quantitative research strategy used to measure the expected outcomes primarily consists of panel ARDL specifications. On aggregate levels of data, the results suggest that there is a statistically significant negative association between external debt and economic growth. Also, it has been observed that a significant nonlinear relationship exists in relation to lower-middle income countries.

Announcement board in the city is somehow disturbing because of the illogical linguistic rules therefore it does not support the development of the smart city.The banned boards are indicated to have less educative meaning because they contain elements of swearing, diatribe, bad prayer, and spelling and writing errors. The role of the government in this matter that is responsible for making writing standards and the contents of prohibition boards and notice boards must be in line with the standard rules of language. Therefore, the researcher wants to collaborate with the City Planning Office, which in this case is responsible for arranging the prohibition and announcement boards in the municipal, regency, and sub-district cities in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Therefore, the view of Sociology studies is needed to recommend the concept of an ecology city based on smart city. The research method used is mixed method, namely qualitative research conducted  by interviewing the local community and quantitative research by conducting a questionnaire and counting the prohibition boards and announcements that are indicated not in accordance with the language rules.

AbstrakPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya anggapan bahwa koperasi di Indonesia yang mayoritas dianggap sebagai badan usaha yang tidak mempunyai daya saing. Kondisi empiris mengungkapkan bahwa koperasi belum bisa mensejahterakan anggotanya sendiri, bahkan banyak koperasi yang mengalami kegagalan dan bubar akibat berbagai faktor.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan perspektif kepada koperasi tentang pentingnya menggarap anggota dengan menggunakan customer focus dengan mempertimbangkan faktor internal dan eksternal yang dimiliki koperasi itu sendiri. Dengan strategi customer focus, koperasi tidak harus memenangkan persaingan dengan cara mencari banyak pelanggan baru, melainkan memenangkan persaingan dengan cara fokus kepada anggota yang loyal. Anggota yang loyal akan tetap bertahan dan mendukung perusahaan bahkan pada saat perusahaan tersebut berada pada kondisi yang paling buruk.Penelitian ini tergolong dalam penelitian kuantitatif, dan termasuk field research dengan pendekatan explanatory atau confirmatory. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama 5 bulan, dengan jumlah responden sebesar 133 responden yang terdiri dari pengurus, pengawas, manajer, karyawan dan anggota dari 7 koperasi di kota Batu yang telah dipilih secara purposive. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Path Analysis dengan bantuan SPSS versi 18.0.Temuan yang dihasilkan adalah strategi customer focus berpengaruh secara signifikan meningkatkan daya saing koperasi. Faktor internal dan eksternal merupakan variabel moderating yang bisa dipakai bersama-sama customer focus untuk menambah peningkatan daya saing koperasi.Beberapa faktor internal dan eksternal pada koperasi perlu dipertahankan dan harus mendapatkan perhatian lebih untuk mendukung keberhasilan pelaksanaan customer focus sehingga koperasi bisa berdaya saing dengan badan usaha lainnya.Kata kunci : customer focus, faktor internal, faktor eksternal, daya saing koperasi. Abstract            This research is motivated by the assumption that the majority of cooperatives in Indonesia are considered as business entities that do not have competitiveness. Empirical conditions reveal that cooperatives have not been able to prosper their own members, even many cooperatives have failed and disbanded due to various factors.The purpose of this study is to provide a perspective to the cooperative about the importance of working on members by using customer focus by considering internal and external factors that are owned by the cooperative itself. With a customer focus strategy, cooperatives do not have to win the competition by finding many new customers, but winning the competition by focusing on loyal members. Loyal members will survive and support the company even when the company is at its worst.This research is classified as quantitative research, and includes field research with an explanatory or confirmatory approach. This research was carried out for 5 months, with the number of respondents amounting to 133 respondents consisting of administrators, supervisors, managers, employees and members of 7 cooperatives in the city of Batu which had been selected purposively. Data analysis used was Path Analysis with the help of SPSS version 18.0.The resulting findings are an influential customer focus strategy that significantly improves the competitiveness of cooperatives. Internal and external factors are moderating variables that can be used together with customer focus to increase cooperative competitiveness.Some internal and external factors in the cooperative need to be maintained and must get more attention to support the successful implementation of customer focus so that cooperatives can be competitive with other business entities.Keyword : customer focus, internal factors, external factors, cooperative competitiveness
