The Impact

A conceptual model for analyzing the dynamics of the value of the project, achieved as a result of engineering, under conditions of uncertainty has been developed. In the methodological context, the proposed approach is based on an array of isovalues, each of which corresponds to its own level of optimism in forecasting the cash flow for the project. With the increase in the efficiency of the project due to engineering, the entire array of iso-value lines’ changes its geometrical position, moving further from the origin (in the four-dimensional space "time-benefit-cost-risk"). The proposed model includes three stages. At the first stage, input information is collected and the corresponding analysis is initiated. The result of the second stage is a multivariate cash flow forecast and calculation of the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) and its changes for each scenario. The third stage provides the calculation of the expected BCR and its change, an assessment of the risk of making an erroneous decision and changing this risk as a result of the engineering session. The model makes it possible to calculate the achieved proportion of the static and dynamic vectors of change in the value of the project, which is one of the key manifestations of the scientific novelty of the work. In the example considered, the share of the dynamic vector of growth in the value of the project was found to be 35.47 %. The model has an environmental property - the assessment of the success of value engineering under conditions of uncertainty is carried out on the basis of the annual total benefits and the annual total costs throughout the project cycle. Thus, the analysis takes into account the impact of the project on the environment, which is reflected in the risk assessment. The given case testifies to the feasibility of applying the model in the practice of engineering the value of construction projects.

Rating Scheme

The newly established New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) has incorporated Safety Assist Technologies (SATs) in its automobile safety rating scheme. In order for any assessed car to be eligible for the maximum 5-star rating, it should first be equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and fitted with seatbelt reminder (SBR). However, since these SATs are not being evaluated in their performance by the means of field testing, this paper explains the benefit of having these SATs through Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) which help to rationalize the importance of SATs in preventing road accidents or mitigating severity of injuries. Due to data limitation, this preliminary CBA assessment will only be focusing on Malaysia’s situation and is based on published sources and the authors’ best estimates. This study also includes the Cost-Benefit Analysis on Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which is the basis for ESC technology, in preparation for its inclusion in the future rating scheme to expedite the vision of making ABS as standard fit in all ASEAN’s passenger cars. The preliminary result shows that all technologies – ESC, SBR and ABS – appear to be cost-effective (benefit/cost-ratio > 3) or most likely cost effective (1 < benefit/cost-ratio < 3) in Malaysia’s road safety situation per se.

An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of the years 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the Instructional Farm of Uttar BangaKrishiVishwavidyalaya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar to study the performance of eight bush type frnch bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties (Shagun, Victoria, Falguni, Falkon Improved, Arka Komal, special Jhati Beans, Nandini and Basuki) regarding growth, fresh pod yield and quality in this region with and without Rhizobium inoculation. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. In case of inoculation treatment, irrespective of varietal differences, seeds were treated with Rhizobiumphaseoli10g/kg of seed. Common fertilizer dose of 80:40:40 N:P2O5:K2Okg/ha was applied in each plot. The experimental results revealed that Rhizobium inoculation increased the yield and quality parameters viz, protein %, vitamin-A content and ascorbic acid content in the fresh pods of the frenchbean varieties. However, flowering and harvesting were recorded earlier in without Rhizobium inoculation treatment due to less accumulation of nitrogen content inside the plant bodies. Under Rhizobium inoculation Special Jhati Beans recorded the highest pod yield (23.05 tonnes/ha) followed by Victoria (22.43 tonnes/ha) and Arka Komal (21.95 tonnes/ha). Regarding without inoculation treatment ArkaKomal recorded the higher yield (20.05 tonnes/ha) followed by Special Jhhati Beans (20.01tonnes/ha) and Nandini (18.76 tonnes/ha).Considering the benefit: cost ratio, french bean varieties ‘SpecialJhhati Beans’ and ‘Victoria’ might be selected for the terai region of West Bengal with a benefit : cost ratio of 2.94 and 2.83 respectively.

Background: Study has been undertaken in SAT (Semi-arid tropics) region located between 23o 8'- 26o 30' latitude and 78o11'- 81o30' longitude with an altitude varying from 230 to 280 m above mean sea level (MSL), Central India for assessing the impact after interventions of natural resource management (NRM) under watershed development programme. Agricultural productivity of Semi-arid tropics oscillates between 0.5 and 2.0 ton ha-1 with an average of one ton per ha (Rockstrom et al., 2010; Wani et al., 2011a, 2011b). The main objectives of this study are to establish agroforestry based crop cultivation which provides nutritional food as well as transform the mankind’s living status and also supports the doubling farmer’s income goal without associated ecological harm. Methods: To evaluate the economic feasibility and crop productivity along with agroforestry was worked out on the basis of survey and sampling. To get uniform samples of crops from cultivated fields some specific area selected (1 m x 1 m size) and get about 80 crop samples for measurements from whole watershed. All data has been collected through survey of 40% households of watershed and then all these data subjected to statistical analysis in the laboratory. To minimize the problem and rejuvenate the water body, water resource development plan helps in identify the available sources so that appropriate and effective with durable solutions can be formulated. The net return of crop cultivated was calculated by subtracting the cost of cultivation incurred from sowing to harvesting, for each crop from the gross return and then benefit-cost ratio was estimated for further improvement or scaled up and livelihood security of former. Result: The study has revealed that after watershed interventions and agroforestry based Crop cultivation, water level increased 2-6 m, crop production increased by 45-47%, cropping intensity increased 97-98% from 44-46% and migration decreased by 70-72%. During both season, the expenses on irrigation and labour will decrease, crop productivity will improve and benefit-cost ratio increased. Nutrition based food production provided the base for food security as it is a key determination of food availability.

The study was carried out to investigate profitability of mango farming and to assess the impact of BARI Aam-3 mango variety production on the farmer’s livelihood in four mango growing districts namely Khagrachori, Bandorban, Naogaon, and Satkhira of Bangladesh during February to March, 2018. A total of 128 BARI Aam-3 growers were selected using multi-stage random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics and financial profitability analysis was used to analyze data. The net return for one hectare of mango orchard was Tk. 730233 for 6-7 years of BARI Aam-3 mango orchard. Net present value was estimated to Tk. 444397 for BARI Aam-3 which indicates that mango cultivation fetches higher returns. The estimated benefit cost ratio was 2.01 for BARI Aam-3 which ensures that investment in BARI Aam-3 is feasible for the mango farmers. The BARI Aam-3 mango cultivation was also found to be a profitable enterprise since internal rate of return was very high (83.075%). The results also reveal that human capital increased by 54.34%, 68% and 60.54%; physical capital increased by 48.17%, 58% and 50% as well as social capital increased by 28.50%, 43% and 45.95% of the small, medium and large farmers respectively due to cultivation of BARI Aam-3 mango variety. Therefore, it is highly recommended to spread the information of BARI Aam-3 cultivation as a profitable enterprise among the mango growers throughout the country. Bangladesh J. Agril.

The Impact

The cultivation of improved chickpea varieties has been increasing over time that kicks off the local varieties from the farmer’s field. Up-to-date socio-economic information regarding this issue is scanty in Bangladesh. That is why we analyze the profitability of improved chickpea variety and assess the impact of its cultivation on the livelihood of chickpea farmers in the high Barind region of Bangladesh. The values of benefit-cost ratio depict that the improved variety is more profitable in comparison to local chickpea variety; specifically, the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of improved chickpea production is 1.87, while it is only 1.66 for local chickpea. To understand the wellbeing of chickpea farmers, the multidimensional livelihood index (MLI) following sustainable livelihood framework of the Department for International Development (DFID) is used, which constitutes the asset pentagon of five capitals namely human, physical, natural, financial and social capital. The MLI of improved and local chickpea growers are 0.51 and 0.39 respectively which belong in the middle livelihood category. Meanwhile, the MLI reflects that the improved variety cultivars are in a better livelihood condition than the local variety growers. Among all the five capitals of the MLI, the difference between these two groups is the largest in the case of social capital followed by financial capital. Since both groups have achieved far less MLI values than 1, the recommendation is therefore to ensure different types of facilities for the development of people of high Barind tract as well as increasing the production of improved chickpea.

Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) culture is socially more acceptable, technically and economically viable and sustainable. The freshwater catfishes Heteropneustes fossilis (shing) and Clarias batrachus (magur) adapt well to hypoxic water bodies and high stocking densities as well. So, shing and magur may be a good candidate to culture with prawn in ponds/ghers to save the farmers from losing their investment in case of shrimp mortality and getting additional income from fish. With this view, this study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of polyculture with three treatments each with three replications. Stocking density of shing was variable i.e., 200nos/decimal in T1, 300nos/decimal in T2 and 400 nos/decimal in T3. On the other hand, stocking density of magur and prawn juveniles was 50 and 30 nos/decimal respectably for all treatments. The experimental ghers were treated with salt (NaCl) (150g/decimal), potasium permanganate (5g/decimal) along with lime (125 kg/ha). After stocking fish were fed using floating nursery feed containing 32%, protein and 7% lipid at the rate of 10-2% for shing and magur nursing, floating oil coated grower feed (27% protein and 6% lipid) at the rate of 6-2% for shing and magur grow out and prawn grower (30% protein and 7% lipid) at the rate of 6-2.5% of estimated fish and prawn biomass. At least 10% of stocked catfish and galda were sampled fortnightly using cast net. Physico-chemical parameters of the experimental ghers water were monitored at weekly. After six months of culture the highest growth performance (47.0 g) and survival (19.94%) for shing obtained from T3. Whereas the average growth of shing was recorded 37.02 and 41.14g; growth of magur 99.21g and 99.51g and growth of galda 69.74 and 70.19 for Treatment T1 and T2 respectively. Except ammonia and iron content the other observed parameters of ghers water found congenial for fish health. The value of Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) was 1.4 that seems to be profitable and feasible of this polyculture practice.

Sesame is one of the important oilseed crops in India. The major constraint of its low productivity is non-adoption of improved technologies by the farmers. Cluster Frontline demonstrations to highlight the impact of different improved technologies like method of sowing, nutrient management, weed management and adoption of whole package of practices of improved technologies for the crop were conducted at 125 farmers' fields during Kharif 2017 and 2020 under rainfed conditions. The improved technologies improved the yield attributing traits as well as seed yield of the crop. The improved technology recorded a mean yield of 476 kg/ha which was 44.68% higher than that obtained with farmer's practice yield of 329 kg/ha. Higher mean net returns of 33,363/ha with a benefit: cost ratio of 3.28 was obtained with improved technologies in comparison to farmer's practice (mean net returns of 18,222/ha and benefit: cost ratio of 2.25).
