The increasing number of consumers’ purchase intention on green products can be seen through the rising number of individuals who are willing to pay more for these products, and it proves this problem has attracted the attention of many circles. This article aims to examine what factors can influence the growth of student purchase intention on green products. The expansion of the Theory of Planned Behaviour was carried out to include two factors that are expected to influence student purchase intention, namely environmental knowledge and self-transcendence. Cluster random sampling is used to select samples that previously have been calculated using the Taro Yamane formula and the Parel formula with a total sample size of 136 samples. The results processed with the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square) showed that environmental knowledge was found to be unable to influence student purchase intention on green products, this is supported by the statement that high knowledge is not always in line with attitudes and practices generated. Self-transcendence was found to affect the growth of student purchase intention in green products, and this can happen because self-transcendence can affect the formation of consumer purchase intention.

The tea industry in Kenya is comparably similar to other production firms – ups and downs surround its operations day in and day out. Several previous research studies have majored in Kenya's tea industry, with the aim of studying what surrounds tea production. In this project, the focus is to establish a concrete comprehension pertaining current status of Kenya’s tea, the global trade of Kenyan-based tea, the impacts of COVID-19 on the tea industry, and the sector’s possible countermeasures. To fully capture the requirements of the study, helpful resources were obtained through rigorous retrieval of data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Tea Board of Kenya Statista, KNBS, and Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) websites. Also, other sources of information that stood to provide relevant data for this purpose were considered eligible for the research study. The key findings obtained from the studied resources established the following: To start with, Kenya is a significant player at the international level regarding the production and exportation of tea products. India, Kenya, China, and Sri Lanka are the four countries dominating the world in the tea industry. Secondly, the current performance of Kenya’s tea has deteriorated. Third, tea production and trade in Kenya have become resilient during the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Lastly, implementing appropriate strategies is required to enhance companies' performance.

Technology adoption for increased productivity can only be relevant when technologies introduced are adequately complied with. This study assessed the level of compliance by CAY -Seed and NRCRI-Seed yam farmers to the usage of the seed yam production technologies and examined the productivity of the CAY- Seed and NRCRI - Seed yam farmers’ farms. The study adopted a multi-stage sampling technique and a total of 283 respondents were used for the study. In addition, the study made use of cross-sectional data which were analysed using descriptive statistics, compliance index and total factor productivity. The findings of the study revealed that CAY-Seed yam farmers optimally complied (0.8932) with the usage of the seed yam technologies than their NRCRI counterparts (0.5982). Similarly, NRCRI-Seed yam farmers’ farms had a higher TFP (1.9133) compared to CAY-Seed yam farmers’ farms (1.8009). Seed yam farmers should take up and super-optimally utilize all improved agricultural (bio-farming activities) technologies made available to them. Similarly, trainings and intervention projects meant to improve productivity of seed yam farms should be established in areas where productivity of agricultural produce is low.

The study examined the comparative analysis of technical efficiency of cluster and non-cluster rice farming in Borno state, Nigeria. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire administered to 232 farmers comprising of 93 clustering and 139 non-clustering rice farmers in Borno State, Nigeria. Data were subjected to analytical techniques that included descriptive statistics, gross margin, t-test and stochastic frontier production function (SFPF). Cluster rice farming enterprise per hectare was more profitable by producing a gross margin (GM) of 196,020.62/ha thus returning N1.72 on every N1.00 invested as compared to non-cluster farming which produced a GM of 99,619.32/ha and thus had a return of N0.96 on every N1.00 invested. The SFPF revealed an average technical efficiency (TE) of 0.76 for cluster farming was higher than 0.58 for non-cluster farmers. Hence, cluster rice farming was more technically efficient compared to non-cluster rice farming. The determining factors of TE in cluster farming include seed (-0.49), fertilizer (0.242), agro-chemicals (0.341) and labour (0.747) compared to non-cluster which included fertilizer (0.207), agro-chemicals (-0.291) and labour (0.668). Inefficiency variables were insignificant in cluster farming while household members active in farming (0.811), years of farming experience (-0.226), and amount of credit utilized (0.5e-4) were statistically significant in non-cluster farming. Insecurity, pest infestation and shortage of water were critical production constraints faced by cluster farmers compared to non-cluster farmers faced with constraints such as shortage of water, insecurity and flooding. Non-clustering farmers should adopt production cluster farming to boost their profit, increase their efficiency and take advantage of the enormous services attributed to working in groups.

There are various methods or practices for sustainable farming. This study recommends farming methods that are appropriate and effective for organic vegetable production in Bukidnon and, in some way, serve as the basis for sustainable farming. Thus, this paper aims to recommend a sustainable farming method for organic vegetable production. Results of the study revealed that the organic focal person-key informants would highly recommend farming practices such as crop rotation, and intercropping for crop planning and management, composting, green manures and animal manure for nutrient management, pest and disease management, weed management, soil cultivation and tillage, plant propagation such as traditional varieties and seed conservation, and diversified farming system. As reported, there are no specific local markets for organic products in Bukidnon, as well as international markets. Among the issues and concerns raised by the key informants, organic certification is the topmost issue. This issue set a little drawback and discouraged some farmers from going organic. Recently, the senate in the Philippines finally approved the amendment of RA 10068, a bill recognizing the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS). They can now certify organic producers, compared to before when only third-party certifying bodies could certify and label organic products.

This study uses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology framework to analyze tomato farmers' intention and actual use of good agronomic practices (GAPs). Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 300 tomato farmers selected through the multi-stage sampling procedure. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results reveal the three practices with the highest level of awareness: fertilizer application, weed control, and pest control. The GAPs practiced mostly by the tomato farmers are fertilizer application, row planting, disease control, and weed control. Results of the Tobit regression model show the extent (intention and actual use) of adoption of GAPs by tomato farmers is influenced by the age of the farmer, years spent in school, years in farming, sources of information, membership of farmer groups, availability of market, performance expectation, and social influence. The results from the study also show that among the major challenges affecting the use of GAPs, lack of credit facilities was ranked first. This study recommends that with the aid of Agricultural Extension Agents, farmers should form cooperatives to enable them to get access to financial support and enable extension workers to easily have access to them.

griculture has been recognized as an important sector in Indonesia. In addition to providing food and industrial raw materials, it contributes significantly to the growth of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign exchange, employment, and rural household income. One of the important triggers for the decline in harvested area and rice production in Musi Rawas Regency is the decline in rice field area due to the conversion of rice fields to non-rice fields. Conflicts over water resources vary from one area to another because water is not evenly distributed both in space and time. Therefore, this paper describes changes in the household population of rice farmers and changes in the population of aquaculture farmers in Musi Rawas Regency. This research was conducted using quantitative methods through a descriptive observational approach to secondary data obtained from the Government of Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The distribution of descriptive data was analyzed univariately using the SPSS Statistic 25.0 application. The area of rice fields increased from 2019 to 2021, followed by the number of farmers which also increased. The area of aquaculture is relatively stable in 2020 and 2021 and has increased compared to 2019. Meanwhile, aquaculture households from 2019 to 2021 continue to increase. he findings indicate the expansion of new rice fields (extensification) due to the need for new rice fields due to the increase in the population of farmers. The population of fish farmers is increasing even though the fishery area is constant. This condition indicates the fragmentation of fishery land.

The movement of a company can’t be separated from resources owned by the company. In this case, the success of a company is strongly supported by the human resources in it. Good work management in a company can be reflected in the creation of a balance between labor productivity and the demands of the company's progress. Therefore, this research aims to analyze internal and external factors related to the productivity of plantation employees in the agroindustrial company engaged in the production and largest pineapple exporter in Indonesia, PT. Great Giant Pineapple. This research also aims to analyze factors most influence productivity of plantation employees. This research was conducted by taking data from 220 respondents of plantation employees using the convenience technique method. Furthermore, data processing and validity and reliability test were carried out using SPSS 17 Ver 25.0, and quantitative tests were processed using SmartPLS to analyze the structural equation model using SEM-PLS. Based on the result, there are six factors that influence the productivity of plantation employees: motivation, competence, work environment, discipline, work quality, and incentive, which are then tested on employee productivity factors. The factor of motivation, competence, discipline, work quality, and incentive have a significant effect on the productivity of employees, while the work environment factor has an insignificant effect on the productivity of employees.

This study aims to determine the marketing channel model of ginger, analyze the marketing efficiency of ginger and analyze the added value resulting from the innovation of ginger products into ginger powder in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This goal is based on several problems encountered when conducting the initial survey, such as ginger farmers only getting a small profit because they only market their products in the form of raw or unprocessed ginger so there is a significant difference in selling prices at the farmer level. This research's data analysis method consists of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis was used to identify marketing channels for ginger in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. In contrast, quantitative analysis was used to determine marketing efficiency and the amount of added value resulting from the innovation of ginger products into ginger powder using the Hayami method. The results showed that the marketing channel for ginger in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency consisted of Farmers - Collectors - Retailers - Consumers. From these results, there are two marketing institutions in the ginger marketing channel, namely collectors and retailers. The value of the marketing margin obtained through the ginger marketing channel which is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by farmers is Rp. 8,500. The value of a farmer's share in the ginger marketing channel is based on the price received by farmers from the final consumer price of 66% with a profit ratio of 6.9 which indicates that the ginger marketing channel in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency can be said to be efficient. The added value of processing ginger into powdered ginger is Rp. 79,000/kg with a value-added ratio of 39.50% and a profit of Rp. 74,000 or 37%. The large percentage of processing profits indicates that selling powdered ginger processing products is more profitable than selling fresh products.

Tourism is a driver of the economic sector and a solution for the government to increase economic development. Tourism is one of the important sectors in developing a country because it contributes to job creation and state income and promotes the prosperity of a country. The tourism sector has a multiplier impact on the regional economy. One is that it can help increase people's income and alleviate poverty. There are problems in efforts to develop tourism, and researchers make plans for developing tourist village areas by mapping the potential of tourist destinations and packaging in the form of tour packages. Planning for developing tourist areas in rural areas through innovation in making tour packages from the results of mapping tourism potential will boost regional economic growth and strengthen the community to carry out a sustainable development process. The research was conducted using mixed method analysis, namely descriptive qualitative, and quantitative. Calculation data for the design cost of promotion planning and marketing of tourism villages is calculated using financial feasibility analysis. Financial feasibility analysis is carried out by calculating the NPV (Net Present Value). The planning for packaging the Barito Village tour package is named " Local Pride Tour Of Barito," which is grouped into three types. First, based on the theme with the respective names of the Heritage Tour, Artificial Tour, and Socio-Economic Tour packages. Second, based on age groups with the names of each package, Kids Tour, Teenager Tour, Adult Tour. Third, based on special needs, each package is named Religion Tour, Healing With Nature Tour, and Sports Tour, which has two types of packages named Adventure Trail and Gowes to Barito Village. Based on the results of the NPV calculation, the NPV value of the entire tour package is more than zero, so all tour packages in the Barito Tourism Village Area are feasible.
