Selection Of

The net revenue from an activity is obtained by subtracting the cash expenses incurred in production from the gross revenue. Gross revenue is the sum of all receipts from the sale of a crop. This study was carried out in Ogun State, Nigeria (latitude 7o 00ꞋN and longitude 3o 35ꞋE) to analyse the revenue of cassava farmers who were involved in improved practices. The simple Random Sampling technique was adopted in the selection of 336 farmers from the study area. Data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, budgetary technique as well as Chow test. Results showed that there was a steady increase in the revenue until it reached the peak. Thereafter, it fell below the zero lines into the negative. Also, all (100.0%) of the participants had formal education and belonged to a farmers’ association. The average farm size was 1.64 hectares. The study, therefore, recommends regulation of cassava price so that it will not fall below a certain fixed point. It also recommends the government purchase of excess cassava output directly from farmers in order to avoid a market glut. Finally, value addition should be promoted to boost income derivable from cassava sales.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are plants or plant parts that have perceived economic or consumption value sufficient to encourage their collection and removal from the forest. The main objective of this study is to identify the challenges and opportunity in equitable distribution of NTFPs among the usufructs. The study was conducted among the 446 usufructs of Dolpa, Salyan and Banke of Western Nepal. The study had adopted the simple random sampling technique to select the respondent from the study areas. Mixed method approach was applied for data collection. The findings show that there were some challenges due to inadequate knowledge and incomplete information on products, markets and prices on the part of collectors/producers. 54.9 percent of them said lack of the market system of providing price of NTFPs was the key challenges/barriers for the equitable distribution of usufructs followed by dominance of middleman/traders (52.2%), lack of accessibility of big market (45.3%), lack of awareness of price of NTFPs (12.4%) and lack of accessibility to MPIS (6.2%). Though, there were more opportunities to promote the NTFP. Demand of NTFPs mainly comes for three major use categories: 1. Pharmaceutical Industry & Research, 2. Health Care, and 3. Consumer Market. The Government of Nepal should provide the technical skills through training and orientation to usufructs about the proper cultivation and harvesting of NTFP and knowledge on use of MPIS which can directly contribute in the sustainable management of NTFP.

Nowadays, efficiency and effectiveness in government organizations are particularly most important. Whereas the performance of human resources is the most important factor in increasing and decreasing the efficiency and effectiveness of government agencies, government agencies and corporations are using tools to manage their workforce to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. But because of the features and complexities of government agencies, these tools do not produce the desired results and sometimes produce the opposite results. One of the most important reasons for the ineffectiveness of staff performance management practices is the type of contract between individuals and government agencies, which is mainly based on pay on the amount of effort regardless of the outcome. In this paper, given the opportunity provided by a government department to employee human resources based on pay results, The efficiency and effectiveness of the organization were compared with respect to two models of human resource use, salary payment on the basis of effort and consequence and outcome. And the tangible results of changing the approach of the government agency from the use of manpower based on copyright contracts to the outcome contracts. And the tangible results of changing the consider of the government agency from the use of manpower based on effort contracts to outcome contracts.
