Current Scenario

This paper seeks to place the evolution of handloom weaving activity and its current scenario in Indian economy. Though the handloom weaving of India had a glorious past, the colonial regime shattered the hand spinning culture of traditional handloom sector of India and forced the country as the supplier of raw materials to Britain. Factory-made cheap cloths had replaced the Indian hand-woven fabrics within the country, and weavers lost their employment due to the shutdown of handloom units. Despite such adversity of handloom sector, Indian artisans had stood the test of time and had kept this great craft alive. The phasing out of the MFA has placed India in an advantageous position in international market for handloom.

The paper discusses the key aspects of marketing activities in the international market, provides insights into the specifics of international marketing, the major types of business activity and the production factors (capital, labour, raw materials, management, information, technology, markets), and the way they are organized worldwide. It is argued that in the new realia, gaining a required level of productivity and competitiveness becomes possible only within the frameworks of an integrated global network. In the context of national enterprises, the process of globalization, on the one hand, could be viewed as increased competition, while on the other – as the opportunity to enter new markets. The success of companies' penetration into international markets largely depends on their objectivity and competence to explore developed market segments, as well as on the ability to choose an effective marketing strategy to achieve this goal. Within the scope of this study, international marketing is considered as the respond of international market participants to the immediate processes of growth and expansion of partnerships, growth of production capacity, rapid renewal of product assortment, frequent changes in the nature and structure of market demand, market fluctuations, increased competition, production expansion, and enhanced quality of information support. All this ensures systemic, regular and dynamic activities in the international market at different stages of product and services consumer sales promotion.

Abstract The concept of globalization appeared in the Indian subcontinent in 1991. With the onset of liberalization, privatization and globalization a new chapter has been opened up in the Indian economy and her billion plus population. The Hugli district is one of the most renowned names in the handloom industry of West Bengal and a good percentage of people are engaged in this heritage industry. The study is conducted in five handloom clusters of the district, namely – Dhaniakhali - Somaspur, Begumpur, Haripal, Rajbolhat and Balagar. The main objectives of this paper were to investigate the effects of globalization on the rural handloom weaver community, in terms of their economic and social conditions. At the same time the article intends to analyse the changes in the over all production scenario of the handloom industry in the district due to modernization. It can be said that the handloom industry of the Hugli district is suffering from some inherent problems like low productivity, lack of product diversification and problems related to procuring raw materials. The co-operative sectors are indifferent to enlarging their market sphere. Though there are plenty of efficient and skilled weavers but they are only doing their traditional practices, the adoption of modern techniques is significantly poor among the weavers. Therefore the new generations are totally unwilling to accept weaving as their main occupation because of the uncertainty of the industry. The article also suggests some strategies to make this ever challenging industry globally competitive, such as, the identification of modern trends, promotion of exports, market assessment so that this heritage industry can cope with the modern trends and utilise the benefits of globalization.

Self-cleaning is the important and required function for the upholstery fabrics. At this research, which was not studied in the references, nano TiO2 coating was appliqued on 18 double faced woven fabrics produced with jacquard weaving technique with three different weft density, two different raw materials of warp yarns that are polyester and rayon, three different face weave pattern under the same conditions by using sol-gel method. All fabrics were stained with the same amount of coffee. Self-cleaning efficiency of the applied fabrics were tested at spectrophotometer by using K/S (Colour/Strength) values after waiting 6, 12 and 24 hours under artificial sunlight and stain removal ratios were calculated. The effects of the fibre type, weft setting and weave pattern on the air permeability of upholstery fabrics were investigated by variance analysis by means of Minitab 17.0. TiO2 application caused air permeability reduction of 18‒40% in polyester warp fabrics and 30‒47% in rayon warp fabrics. It was seen that self-cleaning property can be got at double faced polyester/cotton and rayon/cotton fabrics by using nano TiO2. After 24 hours sunlight exposure, the average stain removal rates were found as 74.8% for polyester warp fabrics and 66.7% for rayon warp fabrics. Also, it has been observed that TiO2 application imparts hydrophobic properties to all rayon and polyester warp fabrics.

During the past eleven years, shrimp is the leading commodity of Indonesian fishery exports, especially the types of frozen and preserved shrimp that have a considerable export value. However, Indonesian exports value growth of both shrimp products are lower than its competitors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of competitiveness and the exports dynamics position of frozen and preserved shrimp in Indonesia among competing countries in the international market. The method used is Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Dynamic Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA). The method is used to analyze changes in the competition level for 11 years (2007-2017), which is divided into 2 periods namely 2007-2012 and 2012-2017. The results showed that both frozen shrimp and preserved shrimp had a competitiveness in the international market. The competitiveness of Indonesian preserved shrimp tends to increase among 9 main competitors in two periods. In the first period, the competitiveness of Indonesian preserved shrimp was in the falling star position while in the second period reached the best position, namely rising star. On the other hand, the competitiveness of Indonesian frozen shrimp position in the first period was in the lost opportunity and reached the rising star position in the second period. Indonesia needs to increase exports of frozen and preserved shrimp products by ensuring the availability of raw materials and improving quality in exporting frozen shrimp and preserved shrimp.

Farmer or agriculture is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials. They are the vertebrae of our community. All are the ones who present us with all the food that we eat. As a result, the community as a whole of the country depends upon farmers. In addition to the farmers contribute almost 17% of the Indian economy. But the condition of farmers in India is critical. Hence, this study is mainly focused on finding out the problems faced by the farmers why they are shifting area from agriculture to non-agriculture. Both primary and secondary data were used. 350 samples were collected based on a convenient sampling technique. Data were analyzed with the help of SPSS. The significant finding of the study is that Lack of long term policy perspective, Monsoon failure, There is no planning in agricultural land and Importance for traditional cultivation. These four factors mainly induce the farmer shifting area from agriculture to non-agriculture.

Indonesia is one of the best quality cashew nut producers and exporters with a 1.2% share in the global market. This is very far from being compared to Vietnam as the world's main exporter of cashew nut controlling 34.07% of the global export market. This study aims to determine the competitive and comparative advantages of cashew nuts from Indonesia and Vietnam in the international market at 2009-2018. The various differences between the two countries make the products produced and distributed vary in quality and quantity. Competitive advantage is analyzed using Porter's diamond theory which consists of four factors to see the competitive advantage of an industry/country. Meanwhile, to determine the comparative advantage of cashew nut trading activities, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Trade Specialization Index (ISP) were calculated. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that Indonesia has an advantage in producing cashew nuts, but has not been able to process it optimally, such as Vietnam which applies special technology and standards in producing cashew nuts. The RCA calculation shows that Vietnam's cashew nut exports have much greater competitiveness than Indonesia, and the ISP calculation results show that both exporters are still importing to maintain the economy and ensure the availability of industrial raw materials in the global market. Trade-related policies need to be considered in order to increase export profits and benefit domestic business actors
