The agricultural sector needs to make breakthroughs in the design of production systems to improve farmers' income and operation efficiency. One of the ways is to redesign rice production methods by applying a rice-fish farming system. Lamongan has a different system that combines rice cultivation with vannamei shrimp. Due to the limitation of farmers, the efficiency of the system has not yet reached the optimal level. This study describes the rice-fish farming system, identifies the SWOT and generated the grand strategy matrix, and analyzed the profit efficiency using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The results showed that the strengths and opportunities are more influential, where the position was in the quadrant I; which means it is in a good strategic position. Meanwhile, the input factors which significantly influence profit where the cost of paddy seed, the cost of organic fertilizer, the cost of inorganic fertilizer, the cost of pesticide, and the cost of shrimp feed. The profit efficiency analysis shows that respondents engaged in this system did not efficiently allocate inputs and production cost factors appropriately. The average profit efficiency level was 78.05 percent; it means that there were still opportunities to increase profits from the system by 21.5 percent.

Through the dataset from APO (Asian Productivity Organization) comprising 22 countries in Asia from 1980 to 2015, this study is to investigate the growth pattern, decomposition, and determinants of structural transformation in Asia. A decomposition method measuring within-effect, between-static-effect, and between-dynamic-effect was adopted to explain the structural change within sectors of agriculture, industry, and services. The results show that the agriculture sector of all countries in Asia declines slowly. The agriculture sector is no longer the largest contributor to GDP in all Asian countries even though it still has the largest labor in Asian developing countries. Workers moving from the agriculture sector to the services sector as the productivity of the service sector is higher than agriculture. The structural changes positively contribute to productivity growth in Asia as a result of the positive static reallocation effects and negative dynamic reallocation effects. Overall, the structural changes contribute to a large part of labor productivity growth. The important determinants of structural transformation are the employment share in agriculture and trade. Final, the policy implication was proposed for structural changes.

This study assesses the effect of livelihood diversification and technology adoption on food security status among rice farming households in the Ogun State Nigeria. Farming households in Africa have increasingly sought means of escaping from the detrimental consequences of poverty by inclining to diversification of their activities; within and outside the farm sector. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 158 rice farmers. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Simpson Index, adoption index and logit regression model. Factors affecting food security of the rice farmers were Simpson Index of Diversification ( γ 1 = 0.320, p= 5%), Technologies Adoption Index ( γ 2 =1.019, p=5%), household size ( γ 5 = -0.060, p= 10%), educational status of the farmers ( γ 6 = 0.035 , p= 5%), farm size ( γ 7 = 0.133, p= 5%) and access to credit ( γ 9 = 0.405, p= 10%). It was recommended that rice farmers should be educated on modern technologies in rice production. Credit facilities should be made available for the rice farming household either by the government or private organizations to enhance farming activities, alleviate poverty and increase household food security.

Commercialized agriculture shows better avenues in diversifying the rural livelihoods. Floriculture industry is an avenue to initiate successful small scale enterprises in a conductive environment. This paper explores the aspects in small scale floriculture industry to adapt strategies in rural development through indexing the success of floriculture small enterprises under eight dimensions. Both interviewer administrated questionnaire and in-depth interviews with key respondents were adapted in data collection. Findings indicate that average entrepreneurial success index of the sample is 0.57, meaning average success level and 38% were very successful. Diversification (0.78), profitability (0.68), social recognition (0.61) are the dimensions that have highest mean values and quality of supply or service (0.56), customer satisfaction (0.45) and employee satisfaction (0.27) had lower mean values. Middle age (34%) and women (64%) entrepreneurs’ engagement in the industry was high. Time spent on the enterprise and labour usage depends on whether the business is their primary or secondary income activity. Floriculture small scale enterprises have been identified as a good income avenue for middle aged women in rural areas. However, rural development strategies need to address the requirement of how to develop the management skills of rural entrepreneurs as well for the sustainability of their enterprises.

The objective of the study is finding the obstacles food security, agriculture and fisheries. This research uses primary data and secondary data such as interview and document literature. Then, we held a focus group discussion to find the real facts. This research uses qualitative research. The schedule of research was between January and July 2019. The result is that the s ix constraints had been designed but we only found three obstacles which are important for them, i.e. land, capital, institutional and human resources. The main problem of land is limited land; the bulk problem of institution and human resource is the declined young generation to work in farming, and; the problem of capital is that it does not fulfil the needs. Also, in the focus group discussion, the findings of problems are that limited land can be fixed by agreement with Developer, meanwhile capital, institutional and human resources are still dilemmas to be fixed. Further, research will be about irrigation, farmer groups or farmer’s capital in South Tangerang City.

Organic farming is becoming an issue that continues to grow at this time. Organic products become exclusive products at higher prices compared to conventional agricultural products. The higher price can be one form of motives for farmers to do farming with an organic system that is the economic motive. On the other hand, organic agriculture with environmentally-friendly management is an advantage of this farming system. It is necessary to know more about the motives of farmers in undertaking organic farming, economic or non-economic motives. Non-economic motives in an agricultural activity are needed to support agricultural activities based on Smart Eco-Bioproduction as an effort to realize sustainable agriculture. The results showed that economic motives still dominated the motives of farmers in organic rice farming. Altruism, as a non-economic motive, is at the level of human altruism.

The study explores the impact of Agribusiness entrepreneurial training on entrepreneurial attitudes among students of Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology (OYSCATECH), Igboora. The study was a cross-sectional design. 132 students offering entrepreneurship education in Agriculture were sampled using a self-report questionnaire and multi-stage sampling. The larger percentage (88.6%) of the respondents were below the age of 25 years, studying Science, management, agriculture engineering and Agriculture management based courses. 52.3% were females and 47.7% were males. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis at p≤0.05. Results reveals that students benefitted from vocation training such as fish production (93.2%); Egg/Broiler production (92.4%), Fish hatchery management (93.9%), Piggery/Rabbit production (93.9%), Fish processing and value addition (92.4%) and Grain/crop production (90.9%). The entrepreneurship skills benefitted include business start-ups (85.6%), managerial coordination (92.4%), book keeping and accounting, (84.8%) among others. Entrepreneurship skills acquired, its perceived adequacy and value correlated significantly with entrepreneurship attitudes. Entrepreneurship skills acquired and its perceived value were significant predictors of attitude towards entrepreneurship while the role of adequacy of entrepreneurship skills was negligible. It was concluded that Agricultural entrepreneurship skills acquired and its perceived value were factors motivating entrepreneurship attitude among students

The Philippine government is recently reviving its cacao industry. Among the strategies employed is the massive establishment of new cacao plantations. Relative to this, Central Mindanao University was actively involved in the establishment of cacao plantations in its neighboring communities in Bukidnon, Philippines through a project grant from the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources, Research and Development (PCAARRD) on August 2016 to July 2019. The project provided assistance to 39 farmers (project-cooperators) who were willing to plant cacao. Sociodemographic profiles of project-cooperators were obtained for possible influence on cacao production. Hence, this study evaluated the influence of sociodemographic profile of project-cooperators on the success of cacao plantation establishment. Prior to the provision of agricultural inputs, our team imparted seminars and trainings on cacao production to project-cooperators. Subsequently, the 39 project-cooperators established new cacao plantations. After the project’s completion on July 2019, we then evaluated the effects of gender, age, marital status, educational attainment, land tenure and main source of income of farmer-cooperators on the success of cacao plantation establishment. Among the sociodemographic factors considered, only land tenure status of project-cooperators was found as essential factor driving the success of cacao plantation establishment. Project-cooperators categorized as land owners resulted to have had satisfactory cacao plantation performance compared to the cacao plantations established by project-cooperators who were just tenants and/or employees. The results could serve as guide to project implementers on the selection of project-cooperators for the success of cacao plantation establishment.

Among the strategies employed is the massive establishment of new cacao plantations. Relative to this, Central Mindanao University was actively involved in the establishment of cacao plantations in its neighboring communities in Bukidnon, Philippines through a project grant from the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources, Research and Development (PCAARRD) on August 2016 to July 2019. The project provided assistance to 39 farmers (project-cooperators) who were willing to plant cacao. Sociodemographic profiles of project-cooperators were obtained for possible influence on cacao production. Hence, this study evaluated the influence of sociodemographic profile of project-cooperators on the success of cacao plantation establishment. Prior to the provision of agricultural inputs, our team imparted seminars and trainings on cacao production to project-cooperators. Subsequently, the 39 project-cooperators established new cacao plantations.
