As the most populous country in the world, China has one of the largest agricultural systems in the world, which plays an important role in ensuring China’s food security. The state farms comprise an integral part of China’s agricultural system. However, there have been few studies evaluating the efficiency and capacity utilization of China’s state farms. In this paper, we estimate the efficiency and capacity utilization of state farms across 27 Chinese regions by applying the data envelopment analysis method. Performance of the overall state farm system and its three sub-industries is taken into consideration simultaneously. Over the period of 2013–2017, the technical efficiency fluctuated in between 0.74 and 0.84, whereas the capacity utilization fluctuated around 0.85. The regional differences were observed. The regional differences were also observed.

The major issue is the improvement and development of agriculture as a result of increasing population, changing lifestyles, commercialization of agricultural products as well as seasonal variability, changes in production trend and agricultural inequality. Regardless of the extent of human development, but its supply will be either from the ground or its processing. Changes in the agricultural system can also be seen as a result of all kinds of changes in the context of agriculture. Also, the world's population is increasing rapidly and in the context of India, it is a fact that it is the second most populous country in the world, by 2030 it will overtake China to become the world's most populous country. Also, the population of India increases by 2 crore people every year, for which the demand for bread, cloth, house demand also increases. बढ़ती जनसंख्या, बदलती जीवन शैली, कृषिगत उत्पादों का व्यवासायीकरण के साथ साथ मौसमी परिवर्तनशीलता, उत्पादन प्रवृत्ति मे बदलाव और कृषिगत विषमता के परिणाम स्वरूप सबसे प्रमुख मुददा कृषि के सुधार और विकास का है। मानव अपने विकास की चाहे जो सीमा निर्धारित कर ले परंतु उसकी उदरपूर्ति जमीन से उगे आनाज या उसके प्रसंस्करण से ही होगी। कृषि के संदर्भ मे तमाम प्रकार के बदलावों के परिणाम स्वरूप कृषि प्रणाली मे भी बदलाव देखे जा सकते हैं। साथ ही विश्व की जनसंख्या तेजी के साथ बढ़ रही है तथा भारत के संदर्भ मे यह तथ्य है कि यह विश्व की दूसरी सर्वाधिक जनंख्या वाला देश है जो 2030 तक यह चीन को पीछे छोड़ते हुए विश्व की सर्वाधिक आबादी वाला देश हो जाएगा। साथ ही भारत की आबादी मे प्रतिवर्ष 2 करोड़ लोग बढ़ जाते है जिनकी आवश्यकता हेतु रोटी, कपड़ा, मकान की माॅग मे भी वृद्धि होती जाती है।

The research study addressed the problem of Indonesia’s potential economic growth and the country’s attractiveness as an offshoring destination. As a developing country and the fourth most populous country in the world, the future of Indonesia’s economy is bright. However, Indonesia is still not as famous as India nor China as an offshoring destination. First, the researcher wanted to understand the situation of Indonesia’s economy and what can be improved to be an attractive offshoring destination. Then, this research was using A.T. Kearney location criteria index and Farrell framework that were adopted in previous studies about the topic. The data gathered from secondary and primary sources were analyzed with the content analysis method. Result shows that Indonesia needs to ensure attractiveness and an increase in wage demand needs to be supported with the increase in the availability of more educated and government’s effort in accelerating the infrastructure development, although corruption, unstable politics, and diminishing purchasing power still produce doubts to do business in Indonesia.

Regressive Analysis

The measurement of terminal productivity is the issue of extreme importance to both terminal owners and management and customers. As the sector of transport is highly intensive in terms of investments into the infrastructure, the productivity of a terminal may play a crucial role in competing with other terminals. Productivity is defined in terms of inputs and output. The majority of the available studies, wherein this issue is addressed, are generally focused on the determination of functional dependence between inputs and output using the method of regressive analysis. The present article provides an insight into the Data Envelopment Analysis method as a tool for measuring productivity. This technique enables a rather accurate evaluation of terminal productivity by means of comparative analysis, which, in fact, appears to be the only feasible alternative in cases where statistic data required for performing regressive analysis is lacking.

The review examines the results of the December 2020 official census of the population of China, the most populous country in the world. It is noted that the Chinese government is seriously concerned about the low rate of population growth. The authorities fear that a slowdown in population growth and its aging while the size of the labour force is decreasing may seriously slow down economic growth. The opinions and statements of analysts on the prospects of the demographic situation in China in the context of its socio-economic development are presented.

The World

Research from several regions of the world provides spatially anecdotal evidence to hypothesize which hydrologic and agricultural factors contribute to groundwater vulnerability to nitrate contamination. Analysis of nationally consistent measurements from the U.S. Geological Survey’s NAWQA program confirms these hypotheses for a substantial range of agricultural systems. Shallow unconfined aquifers are most susceptible to nitrate contamination associated with agricultural systems. Alluvial and other unconsolidated aquifers are the most vulnerable and shallow carbonate aquifers provide a substantial but smaller contamination risk. Where any of these aquifers are overlain by permeable soils the risk of contamination is larger. Irrigated systems can compound this vulnerability by increasing leaching facilitated by additional recharge and additional nutrient applications. The agricultural system of corn, soybeans, and hogs produced significantly larger concentrations of groundwater nitrate than all other agricultural systems, although mean nitrate concentrations in counties with dairy, poultry, cattle and grains, and horticulture systems were similar. If trends in the relation between increased fertilizer use and groundwater nitrate in the United States are repeated in other regions of the world, Asia may experience increasing problems because of recent increases in fertilizer use. Groundwater monitoring in Western and Eastern Europe as well as Russia over the next decade may provide data to determine if the trend in increased nitrate contamination can be reversed. If the concentrated livestock trend in the United States is global, it may be accompanied by increasing nitrogen contamination in groundwater. Concentrated livestock provide both point sources in the confinement area and intense non-point sources as fields close to facilities are used for manure disposal. Regions where irrigated cropland is expanding, such as in Asia, may experience the greatest impact of this practice.

Rapid-transit services are a relevant part of the transportation network in most cities of the world. An important aspect of transport policy is the supply of public urban transportation. In particular, it is of interest to determine whether rapid-transit operators are working in a technically and scale-efficient way. Production analysis of transit services has been characterized by the econometric study of average practice technologies. A more recent method to study such production frontiers is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It is a non-parametric method, but its application to rapid-transit, where the relations among technological variables are more strict, requires a previous structural analysis of the intervening inputs and outputs. DEA is employed in this paper to investigate the efficiency and returns to scale of 21 rapid-transit properties of the world. DEA was also used for the benchmarking of non-efficient rapid-transit properties, with special emphasis to the São Paulo’s subway system
