The study was conducted to analyze constraints to adoption of sweet potato processing technologies among actors in South East, Nigeria. Questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of eighty (80) respondents used for the study. Data were analyzed using mean score, standard deviation, factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results indicated that sex, educational level, marital status, processing experience and access to extension service had a positive influence on the adoption of sweet potato processing technologies in the study area. The respondents were highly constrained by inadequate processing machines/equipment (=2.88), high cost of processing produce (=2.86), inadequate knowledge of modern sweet potato processing techniques (=2.84), inadequate capital for start-off (=2.84), high cost of labor (=2.83), poor credit facilities (=2.80) and scarcity of processing materials like sweet potato tubers (=2.43). These variable constraints were further subjected to factor analysis and the variables were named technical and infrastructural factors. It is recommended that processors should be encouraged to form cooperative society to enable them to pool their resources together to obtain credit facilities and sweet potato labour saving processing technologies in order to increase productivity. There is also a need for creation of awareness by extension agents, public health agencies, nutritionists and non-governmental organizations on the usefulness of orange fleshed sweet potato in addressing Vitamin A Deficiency Syndrome.

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence shares price and return per share of 63 manufacturing companies period 2012-2016. The research method is multiple linear regression analysis, which done by the classical assumption test. The results of the research in the first model show that there is a positive influence between book value per share, net income, CSR social, and CSR report on shares price. While in the second model using the enter method shows delta net income and delta CSR total had a positive effect on return per shares, and delta CSR environment has a negative effect on return per share, while those using stepwise method delta CSR social and delta CSR net income had a positive impact on return per share. The contribution of this study is to provide information to stakeholders that CSR environment does not have an important role in shares prices, prioritizing the interests of shareholders, which means that the CSR environmental measurement instruments focus on disclosure, and ignore fundamental aspects, namely environmental liabilities. The implication is that the regulator, investor, and profession needs to more pay attention to CSR environmental.

Also, the management had a positive influence on the production of the broiler livestock business, with an elasticity of 0.700. The management had a negative effect on the risk of production of broiler livestock business with the elasticity of 0.237. Production risk was negatively affected by the number of chicks and the amount of feed. To provide support for breeders in their business, it is necessary to have a policy of low cost of broiler cultivation, especially the cost of chicks and feed, by setting DOC prices and cheap or cheaper feed. Besides, it is required to develop cooperation with companies using broiler primary products, as well as certain policies so that there will be businesses that use broiler primary products as their main ingredient.JEL Classification D13; Q02; Q12
