Analisis Finansial Agroindustri Coco Fiber di Kabupaten Padang-Pariaman

The potential of coconut owned by Padang Pariaman Regency with production reaching 35,436 tons in an area of 40,755 hectares strongly supports the development of agroindustrials in the countryside. The development of rural industries will create new jobs so that the community economy will increase. Coconut has a lot of derivative products, one of which is cocofiber produced from coconut coir. Coconut coir itself is one of the remaining coconut products that can be processed so as to increase the value of the product. Location determination and financial analysis can help potential investors to make cocofiber agroindustry development decisions. The method used to determine the location of the factory is gravity location model (GLM), using data on the coordinate point of coconut IKM in Kab. Padang Pariaman. For financial analysis is calculated using Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Both of these methods are expected to illustrate whether the development plan of the cocofiber industry in kab. Padang pariaman should be done or not. Based on the results of calculations using the GLM method, the optimal factory location selected is in the Limau River area of Padang Pariaman Regency with coordinate points (-0.55904, 100.0827). NPV showed a positive value and the IRR gave a result of 11.6%. The results showed that the calculation of NPV and IRR obtained results that showed that the construction of a cocofiber factory on the Limau Kab. Padang Pariaman River was feasible to carry out.

Wood Splitting Machine for Tea and Bakery Industries

In Sri Lanka, firewood is regarded as a common conventional fuel, mainly in food preparation purposes. Essentially due to economically availability, firewood has still been using as the main source to lit fire in rural areas. Other than for household food preparation, firewood is still the main source of generating heat in food related rural industries, such as tea factories, bakeries, hotels etc. In tea factories and in some of the bakeries, firewood is used in mass scales. Even tons of fire wood is used in each of them, per day. To make easy burning, the wood logs need to be cut in to small pieces. In almost all such places, wood splitting is done manually. It finds very difficult to split wood logs by using an axe. This needs time and more manpower. On the other hand, an additional cost is involved for workers’ payment. If the wood splitting can be mechanized, it may be huge beneficial for such industries as tea factories and bakeries etc. Therefore, this project is aimed to introduce a wood splitting machine, which has the specific objectives of efficient supply of usable level firewood at a shorter time with lower cost and without much manpower to split firewood logs. Lower maintenance requirement together with lower failure frequencies may be added advantages, when compared to the hydraulic devices [4].

Gram Swaraj: The Sustainable Model for Rural Industrialisation and Employment

This article discusses the relevance of Gram Swaraj or village self-governance and rural industries in the context of pandemic-ravaged countries like India. Drawing mainly from Gandhian Gram Swaraj ideas and secondary sources, it discusses the impact on informal sector workers, their rural–urban–rural migration and precarious livelihood question, the need for rural industries and the adaptation and application of Gram Swaraj ideas. The analysis has implications for considering these ideas for creating sustainable employment and livelihood in rural areas in countries like India.

Research on the Marketization of Urban and Rural Factors and the Coordinated Development of Urban and Rural Industries and Regions

At present, China is facing the problem of breaking down the system and institutional obstacles that hinder the free flow of factors. The development of new urbanization and urban and rural industries depends on the independent flow, efficient and fair allocation of factor markets; market-oriented allocation of factors is the development and core issue of new urbanization; the market plays a decisive role in the allocation of factor resources. On this basis, it is of great importance to put forward suggestions to further promote the free flow of factors and accelerate the development of new urbanization.

Countermeasures for the Revitalization and Development of Rural Industries in Poverty-stricken Areas under the Background of Policy Transfer

In-depth promotion of poverty alleviation and comprehensive implementation of the rural revitalization strategy are important strategic tasks during the period of China’s construction of a moderately prosperous society. At present, the poverty alleviation and rural revitalization are in a period of historical convergence, and the intensity of policies and investment is unprecedentedly huge. Rural revitalization is what we must continue to do after poverty alleviation. Only when the two are seamlessly connected can the results of poverty alleviation have consolidated, and rural revitalization policies can have effectively implemented. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to use the system as the support, to make up for shortcomings as the focus, to solve the problem as the orientation, and to improve the system and mechanism of rural revitalization based on consolidating the results of poverty alleviation. This article puts forward the research on the countermeasures for the revitalization and development of agricultural industries in poverty-stricken areas, which is conducive to the upgrading of agricultural products under the guidance of the rural revitalization strategy and the plan to return to poverty after 2020. It also helps to re-understand rural revitalization in the process of poverty alleviation, learn from the valuable experience accumulated in poverty alleviation, and steadily promote high-quality agricultural products.

From Valued Stayers to Working Hands? the Social Consequences of Changing Employment Relations Among Polish Migrants in Farmed Salmon Industry in Rural Norway

International migrant workers in European rural regions have supplied rural industries with necessary labour, stimulated the demography of host communities and raised questions about the inclusion of migrants. Using the case of Polish post-accession migrants employed in the farmed salmon industry in rural Norway, we explore the social consequences of changing employment relations in rural industries. By using a temporal perspective, we identify a transition from an inclusive employment regime experienced by the migrants who arrived in the locality within the first years after the EU enlargement in 2004, to an increasingly exploitative, insecure and competitive work environment for recently arrived migrants. We emphasise how employment conditions offered to different ‘waves’ of migrants affect the ways they perceive their status and value in rural hosting communities. Ultimately, we reflect on the potential long-term consequences of international migration to rural areas.

Literature Review on Rural Revitalization Industry Revitalization

<div>The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) proposed the implementation of rural revitalization strategy for the first time, and established the 20-word general policy of “thriving industry, livable ecology, civilized rural customs, effective governance and rich life”. “Industry prosperity” in the first place, undoubtedly highlights the rural industry revitalization is the most important policy implementation points in the strategy. Among them, the expression “production development” is upgraded to “industry prosperity”, indicating that the rural revitalization strategy puts forward higher requirements for the development of rural industries, that is, the industrial integration development that highlights the multi-function of agriculture[1]. Many researchers have begun to pay attention to the revitalization of rural industries. The existing researches on the influencing factors of rural industry revitalization mainly include system supply, main body activation, factor allocation and development mode.</div>

Traversing Community Attitudes and Interaction Experiences with Large Agricultural Vehicles on Rural Roads

Agriculture is one of Australia’s largest rural industries. Oversized and slow moving industry equipment and vehicles, hereafter referred to as large agricultural vehicles (LAVs), use public roads. Restrictions exist regarding their on-road operation, but whether this is a function of the risk that their on-road use represents is unknown. A convenience sample of community members was used to explore perspectives about LAVs’ presence on roads. An online survey was used to explore LAV interaction experiences, risk perceptions, and how best to promote safe interactions. Ethics approval was obtained. The participants’ (N = 239) exposure to LAVs on roads in the last 12 months was variable, but there were clear seasonal points when encounters could be expected. The participants indicated that LAVs have a right to drive on the road (94.8%), and most interactions were neutral, with four LAV crashes reported. Other vehicle types were perceived as representing a higher risk to rural road safety than LAVs. The use of the driver’s license test to increase knowledge about LAVs’ presence, how to respond, and the use of signs were suggested in order to improve safety. The participants commonly interacted with LAVs, and rarely experienced negative events such as crashes. Continued communication about LAV presence on rural roads is an important consideration in order to help ensure safe interactions.
