Agriculture remains the dominant supporter of the Indian populace. The thriving industry and service sectors depend on the agricultural sector for their development. The inter-linkage among the three sectors could not be undermined at any cost. It is the massive absorbent of the labor force even though the disguised unemployment exists in varied magnitude. The share of agriculture to the GDP has come down from 57.7% in 1950-51 to 32.2% in 1990-91 at the time of liberalization, 24.6% in 2000-2001, 15.7% in 2009-2010 then 17%. In the post-independence era, stagnant production, low productivity, traditional technology, and poor rural infrastructure were the major challenges for the Government. India is principally an agricultural country. The agriculture sector estimates 18.0% of the GDP and employs 52% of the total workforce. There is a continuous steady decay in its presence towards the GDP, and the agriculture sector is losing its shine and anchor position in the Indian economy. The problems with which the Indian agricultural scenario is charged in present times are many. Still, this in no way undermines the interest of the sector and the role it can play in the holistic and inclusive growth of the country. Agriculture is fundamental for the sustenance of an economy, as is food for a human being.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the condition of priority of commercial banks to provide loans to the agricultural sector and to find the relationship and impact of agricultural loans to the agricultural GDP of Nepal. Objectives: This study aims to compare the condition of loan disbursements in agricultural and manufacturing sectors. It further aims to compare loan percent with growth and contribution to the GDP of the agricultural and industrial sectors and tries to show the impact of agricultural loans to the agricultural GDP of Nepal. Methods: It was based on a descriptive and analytical research design. Statistical tools standard deviation, correlation, regression, etc. are used and Excel, and EViews software are used for the statistical calculations. Statistical calculations and graphs are simultaneously used to show and compare the condition of variables. Results: Commercial banks give higher priority to the manufacturing sector for loans than the agricultural sector. The Johansen Co-integration test indicates no long-run relationship between loans of commercial banks and agricultural output in Nepal. However, the least-squares method, it indicates that a positive causal relationship between agricultural loans and agricultural growth. Implications: The loans of commercial banks directly stimulate the growth of agriculture but the amount of growth is less noticeable. Thus, it is concluded that the commercial bank's loan alone cannot affect and control the growth of the agricultural sector of the Nepalese economy therefore the government should increase its expenditure on the agricultural sector.

Given the expanding needs of the global food market, it is not surprising that the Japanese are trying hard to make their agriculture sector competitive n the global market. The article discusses the current situation in agriculture and the potential for its further development, most of all, the situation with the cultivated area and labor force. The results of government measures taken to increase the efficiency of production, a change in its structure, and increase in the value of hired labor, changes in the forms of production participants themselves are shown: along with rural yards with small land allotments, sometimes various associations appear; in other words, the pattern of development of the agricultural sector is gradually changing. But to achieve this goal there are still many obstacles administrative economic, social.

The South African government provides access to agricultural land for people not adequately represented in the agricultural sector.  However, the government lacks sufficient funds and institutional infrastructure to provide post-settlement support to the settled developing farmers. A farmer-to-farmer mentorship programme between established and developing farm types has been identified as an institutional arrangement that could complement the government’s efforts. However, at this stage government and other role-players lack frameworks for this type of mentorship programme.This study conceptualises a complementary mentorship alliance that is loosely structured, without the complicated legal and contractual processes involved in corporate business alliances. This alliance will hopefully lead to highly committed joint ventures in the industry in the near future.  The study also provides frameworks within which the role-players could contribute to the success of mentorship programme.

This paper analyzes agricultural development in terms of policy and implementation in Nepal. More than two-thirds populations in Nepal reside in the rural area and most of them depend on agriculture. Subsistence form of agriculture is common in Nepal. Rural Area and agriculture are interrelated; like two parts of the same coin. The contribution of agriculture to national Gross Domestic Product is remarkable; however, it is declining over the decades. In fact, the agricultural sector cannot attract young people; the trend of migration from rural to urban is significantly increasing. The poverty is exceedingly marked in rural Nepal. The Government of Nepal emphasizes agriculture development in for poverty alleviation. Order to alleviate poverty, rural development, and national economic growth through the policy level. However, available data and qualitative analysis reveal that the outcome from the agricultural sector is not satisfactory due to several factors. In such situation, more than half of the population has been facing food insufficiency. Because of weak policy and implementation, the agriculture sector s been suffering poor outcome. In that way, the government of Nepal along with concerned authorities should effectively implement agriculture policies in order to reduce poverty and rural development. The agriculture-rural accommodating policies and successful performance are crucial for poverty alleviation and rural development.

he planned economic development during the 40 years period (1950-91) has showed a mixed scenario. For example per annum growth in GDP during first fifteen years 1950-65 was found at 4 percent while during the period 1967-80 it declined marginally and stood at merely 3.45 percent per annum. However the decade of eighties which witnessed improvement in Agricultural sector, Mining & Manufacturing sector, Service sector and Export sector has resulted in 5.46 per cent per annum growth in the GDP. In this connection it is significant to observe that the overall growth in GDP during the period 1950 to 1991 was not very impressive due to constant pulls and pressures. In the early 1991, Indian economy faced several economic crises, like fiscal imbalances, mounting inflationary pressures and severe balance of payment crisis etc. The congress government, which assumed office at the end of June 1991, responded quickly to these problems. As a rescue measure, a series of new policy measures were announced in July 1991 by the government of India. These are also known as Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) of 1991.The major thrust of present paper is to evaluate the performance (for the period 1950 to 2006) as well as determinants (for the period 1975 to 2006) of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indian economy.

Purpose: this article includes the review of the Japanese policy on the digital transformation transformation of the agricultural sector, description and analysis of the implementation cases, as well as identification of obstacles to achieve the expected results.Methods: the study uses the methods of structural, comparative and systems analysis and the principle of formal logic. The article is based on the analysis of scientific and analytical materials devoted to the problem of research. The factual basis is the framework documents of the Cabinet of Japan, media, reports of Japanese research institutes.Results: the article provides a brief review and analysis of the Japanese public of digital transformation of the agricultural sector, provides some cases, summarizes the interim results of the measures taken, identifies problematic factors that prevent the achievement of the expected results. The hypothesis is put forward about the key role of the government in the process of developing new standards for the digital transformation.Conclusions and Relevance: Japan agricultural sector is facing a severe labor shortage. The situation is expected to get worse in the next 5 years. The Japanese government expects that digital technologies and autonomous equipment will compensate for the lack of labor on farms, as well as provide a new stage in the development of the traditional agricultural sector. However, the digitalization of agriculture sector is not limited to the introduction of the latest technology, but also involves the development of new safety rules for the use of robotic tractors, unmanned aerial vehicles, improving farmers ICT education, and standardizing new agricultural terms. However, despite the promise of using digital technologies, the high cost of new equipment and the complexity of its use is a significant obstacle to the digitalization of agriculture in Japan. The study of the features of the digital transformation of the Japanese agricultural sector is very important for the effective implementation of industry projects that exist today in Russia.

Mobility can act as a stepping stone to get out of poverty. This research examines whether the effect of poverty encouraging or inhibiting the mobility of workers across sectors. By using data from the 2018 Indonesia National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) that cover 8,869 respondents, this study applies multinomial regression models to analyse inter-sector mobility types among labors in Indonesia. The results show that low-income workers in the industrial and service sectors tend to have a 4.8% and 6.3% greater probability of transferring to the agricultural sector. However, agricultural workers that suffer from poverty choose to survive in the same sector due to the high cost of inter-sector mobility. Other findings show that older age and higher education level decreased the propensity to move across sectors. In the efforts to alleviate poverty, the role of the government is expected to be seen in two ways. Firstly, by facilitating workers to move into productive sectors, i.e. industrial and service sectors, and secondly, by increasing the productivity of the agricultural sector.

Abstract The government's policy on development in Indonesia is considered to be impartial in the agriculture sector, from observations, the portion of the budget each year is mostly channeled to other sectors, such as education, health, security and other routine expenditures such as salaries and operations, agriculture is considered very minimal, whereas more than half of the population in Indonesia works in the agricultural sector. The farmers are still complaining about infrastructure problems such as dams, irrigation, and farm roads. In addition, the quality of human resources working in the agricultural sector is still low, the price stability of production is uncertain so that at any time can harm the farmers, the survival of the survivors are allowed by the government when they have great service in encouraging development. The number of problems that occurred in the agricultural sector became the basis of this paper. This research is based on qualitative research, where researchers collect various data field and conduct a deep analysis of the data and on the problems that occur. The conclusion of this research is that government should direct development in agriculture sector so that people get welfare by making policies or regulations that favor the farmers by improving the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, the guarantee of the price of agricultural products and the guarantee of survival farmers. Keywords: policy, government, development, agriculture Abstrak Kebijakan pemerintah dalam pembangunan di Indonesia dinilai belum memihak pada sektor pertanian, dari hasil pengamatan, porsi anggaran tiap tahunnya lebih banyak tersalurkan pada sektor-sektor yang lain, seperti pendidikan, kesehatan, keamanan maupun belanja rutin lainnya seperti gaji pegawai dan operasional, sedangkan untuk sektor pertanian dinilai sangat minim, padahal lebih dari setengah jumlah penduduk di Indonesia bekerja di sektor pertanian. Para petani masih banyak mengeluhkan masalah infrastruktur seperti bendungan, irigasi, maupun jalan tani, selain itu kualitas sumber daya manusia yang bekerja disektor pertanian masih rendah, stabilitas harga hasil produksi tidak menentu sehingga sewaktu-waktu dapat merugikan para petani, jaminan kelansungan hidup para petani dibiarkan begitu saja oleh pemerintah padahal mereka punya jasa besar dalam mendorong pembangunan. Banyaknya masalah yang terjadi disektor pertanian tersebut menjadi dasar dari tulisan ini. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada penelitian kualitatif, dimana peneliti mengumpulkan berbagai data dilapangan dan melakukan analisis yang mendalam terhadap data-data maupun pada persoalan-persoalan yang terjadi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pemerintah seharusnya mengarahkan pembangunan pada sektor pertanian sehingga masyarakat mendapatkan kesejahteraan dengan membuat kebijakan atau regulasi yang memihak kepada petani dengan cara peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia di sektor pertanian, ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana, jaminan harga hasil produksi pertanian dan jaminan kelangsungan hidup para petani. Kata kunci: kebijakan, pemerintah, pembagunan, pertanian

Various poverty alleviation programs are always launched by the government from year to year. But it is not able to change the state of this country to become more self-sufficient and prosperous. If explored further, the majority of people classified as poor are working as farmers. Therefore, it is necessary to alleviate poverty policy that focuses on the welfare of farmers. So that when the policy is successfully realized, the majority of the poor in Indonesia will be able to independently through the development of the agricultural sector. One of the problems faced by farmers is weak stimulus funds from financial institutions. Due to the agriculture sector is seen as high risk, the financial institutions tend to feel worried if that financing for the sector. In anticipation of losses on crop failure, it is important applied an insurance that serves to protect the farm. So that financial institutions have the courage to do the financing for the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, zakat is one of the Islamic public financial instruments with the potential to be developed. Zakat funds channeled to 8 asnaf, including for the poor. So, it is possible if the charity can be used as agricultural insurance fund for farmers who are poor. Based on the explanation, this paper is intended to offer a model of the distribution of zakat to the poor farmers through takaful. The hope when this model is applied, will invite many financial institutions in stimulating agricultural business funds. The final implications are the farmers’ productivity increased and the quantity of the poor in Indonesia will be reduced.
