India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world contributing around 25-28% of the total global production. The increasing demand and supply gap of pulses has led to an increasing trend in their import by India. In view of this gap, one of the strategies for “Doubling Farmers’ Income by 2022” was to enhance area, production and productivity of pulses in India by incentivizing the farmers with right price. Hence an attempt has been made in this study to analyze the growth of pulses over a period of time i.e. from 1980-81 to 2017-18 in India using secondary data. The average annual growth rates and percentages were used as tools to carry out analysis. The results revealed that area, production and productivity of total pulses was positive but indicating a slow growth of 1.36 per cent, 3.29 per cent and 2.04 per cent respectively per annum. Due to steep hike in Minimum Support Price (MSP) during 2015-16, it was noticed that area, production and yield have recorded higher growth than previous years. The percentage change in area, production and productivity for major pulses during three periods indicated that there was a marginal increase in area and production of gram in major producing states and the same trend was noticed in red gram and black gram. It was also observed that in some of the states the growth in period- III for major pulses was higher compared to period-II. Policy implications or lessons learned are missing!

The exponential growth in the world population has led to an ever-increasing demand for food supplies. This has led to the realization that conventional and traditional methods alone might not be able to keep up with this demand. Smart agriculture is being regarded as one of the few realistic ways that, together with the traditional methods, can be used to close the gap between the demand and supply. Smart agriculture integrates the use of different technologies to better monitor, operate, and analyze different activities involved in different phases of the agricultural life cycle. Smart agriculture happens to be one of the many disciplines where deep learning and computer vision are being realized to be of major impact. This chapter gives a detailed explanation of different deep learning methods and tries to provide a basic understanding as to how these techniques are impacting different applications in smart agriculture.

The Impact

As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the world, the existence of disruptions in demand and supply have become more severe, conducted by containment measures taken by countries and affecting different sectors around the world. Although businesses and workplaces are restarting activities in some countries, with containment measures gradually being lifted, overall consumer demand is expected to remain low, also determined by the loss of jobs and income. Therefore, the scale of the impact on supply chains exceeded anything most companies had anticipated. This study aims to understand how companies were affected and identify some lessons learned about their vulnerabilities and the possible ways to address them in the long term. On the other hand, it is intended to reveal some of the impacts of COVID-19 and make some practical suggestions that can help in political and operational decisions to strengthen and build additional resilience in supply chains in the future.

Rice availability and affordability are the key determinants of food security in Bangladesh. Therefore, it becomes the most important crop for the social and political economy of the country. Although a tremendous technological advancement contributed to the increasing trend of rice production, its affordability threatened due to the increasing price at the consumers’ level. The recent natural calamities and COVID-19 have worsened the food security status across the world. This research has estimated the demand and supply of rice in the pandemic era and figured out the drivers of recent price hike both in the producers’ and consumers’ levels using empirical and cognitive approaches. Based on the findings, some actionable policy options have been suggested to address the price level of rice in Bangladesh towards sustaining food security.

The slowdown in the world economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the triggers for increased analysis in the economic sector to find the proper steps to protect the economy from the shadow of the crisis. However, most research is still focused on several separate policies, which makes the analysis results still seem bleak. This research was conducted using the ARDL panel approach to analyze the ability of endurance policy to maintain a balance between aggregate demand and supply in ASEFO countries. The data used is secondary data (time series) from 2009 – 2019. The analysis results show that the leading indicators of controlling GDP in ASEFO countries on a panel basis are INF, NPL, GOV, LDR. Meanwhile, the leading indicators of the effectiveness of the variables are INF and GOV. Thus, government spending during the pandemic must still be controlled not to cause inflation which is a threat to the economy.

People all over the world portray different attitudes towards the same stimuli. This is because individuals have different perceptions about a particular stimulus. Obviously, consumer perception and attitudes towards their own country’s products keeps on changing. Personal observations and empirical evidence shows that Ghanaian textile industry have not been able to achieve its set objectives due to inappropriate product marketing and this has influenced the perceptions people greatly towards the Ghanaian prints. The aim of the study is to determine what is responsible for the perceptions towards made-in-Ghana textiles and to ascertain what can be done to influence the perception towards the Ghanaian textiles. The sample size consisted of two hundred [200] respondents mainly from selected staff and students of Koforidua Technical University. Both primary data and secondary data and interviews and questionnaires to gather the relevant data needed for the research were used. Statistical tools such as tables and bar graphs were used for the analysis. The study revealed that students of Koforidua Technical University are generally satisfied with made-in-Ghana textiles but had some dissatisfaction with the prices of these textiles. The study suggested that the Ghana textile industry should make their products more price competitive to encourage sales increase and to discourage the influx of the local designs from foreign markets into the country.

The tourism revenue of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is increasing absolutely but losing its contribution to the GDP proportionately. So, this paper tries to find out the economic activities of all components of tourism sector which are responsible for the negative trend. It also explains the relationships and variability of tourism revenues and expenditures with GDP and offers suggestions to enhance revenue of tourism sector. This study is based upon secondary data obtained from the website of SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority) and General Authority for Statistics of Saudi Arabia. In tourism sector of Saudi Arabia, the increasing trend of expenditures of some economic activities is more than its revenue. The increasing trend of expenditures comparatively its revenues lowering contribution of tourism towards GDP. To improve the level of tourism revenue, government has to provide world class facilities and develop new tourist spots and allow the visitors to visit such places according to the Shariah and Kingdom rules. Government has to focus on developing passenger rail transport and other means of transport to connect all the tourist spots to provide easy conveyance, and on improving and developing tourism sector by helping the government and private organizations that are engaged directly or indirectly in providing services to the domestic and inbound tourists to assure more contribution to GDP.
