The article focuses on the study of specific characteristics of seaports development under conditions of digitalization. The article aims to study features of the development of the international seaport under digitalization to implement the best achievements in Ukraine. The main research method was a systemic-structural approach used to examine seaport digitalization as a part of a logistics chain, including horizontal and vertical links between its elements. To achieve an effective digital transformation, we also used the above method. It helped to study how the factors determined during the study of international practices and possible innovations influence the object under study. The practices, which are of interest for Ukraine and other developing countries, were identified based on the international experience in seaports development under digitalization. The main strategic directions for the digital transformations of the above infrastructural objects were suggested. They involve increasing seaport competitiveness and their effectiveness in the framework of the international transport system. The directions are of interest for public authorities of the governmental and regional levels (while establishing the digitalization policy in the area of sea transport) and the port administrations (while making justified strategic decisions for their development).

The purpose of this article is to develop a model and proposals for the organization of management of financial and economic security (FESM) of port enterprises (PE). Improvement of the management of financial and economic security we propose to begin with the development of methodological approaches to assessment of the level of financial and economic security. To do this, the article makes a proposal to use a functional criterion, which is defined as the ratio of costs for the organization and operation of the financial security service to the profit obtained during the period of the study. Also, a set of indicators is developed that, unlike existing ones, take into account specifics of the industry. The article also proposes optimal plans for cargo processing, which result in a minimum cost and maximum profit. Through the function of process management, a comprehensive statistical model of managing the system of financial and economic security of port enterprises is proposed. This model takes into account specific factors of PE operation and developed approaches that ensure the organization of PE FES management by embracing traditional financial approaches and their alternatives. The authors state that for the effective organization of financial and economic security of port enterprises it is necessary to conduct timely monitoring of external and internal threats, assess and analyze the level of financial and economic security and develop strategic ways of enterprise development. And the recommendation to the management is to carry out well-timed control and audit of financial condition.

The food production process across the developing world is under huge pressure pertaining to mounting challenges like water shortage, low fertility of the land, climatic variations, lack of technological progress, and many other unforeseen challenges. This study explores the impact of water crises on food production. The food production index was used for food production and water crises relationship measured in water availability (million-acre feet). Other explanatory variables, remittances, fertilizer, number of tractors, agricultural land, were used as control factors for the period 1975 to 2017. The autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model was used for the analyses. Water crises had significant and negative effects on food production. Besides, that other control factors like, fertilizer, remittances, agricultural land, and numbers of tractors also had a substantial and positive impact. The results indicate a long-run relationship between water crises and food production because the error correction term is significant and negative. Water crises (shortage of water availability) decreases the capacity of the land to produce low crop yields. In order to meet the food demand, water scarcity needed to be addressed in the policies. Moreover, the government should encourage the small farmers in particular by providing them fertilizers, high-efficiency irrigations systems and machinery (i.e. tractors) at subsidized rates.

To empirically factor out the perceived constraints affecting rice production in the Kano River Irrigation Project Kano State, Nigeria, the current study used cross-sectional data collected through a semi-structured questionnaire complemented by an interview schedule from 217 rice farmers selected via a multi-stage sampling technique in 2020. High input cost, inadequate training, unreliable water supply, waterlogging, and insufficient credit were identified as significant risk factors affecting rice production in the research area. In addition, the orthogonal rotation took into account ten restrictions impacting rice cultivation in the examined area: technical, biological, insect infestation, output price, marketing, extension, flooding, credit, soil, and health. As a result, the study suggests that a market economy be developed, corruption be reduced, and policy design and implementation be transparent. Project management and other stakeholders should empower farmers through training and workshops to operate and maintain their irrigation schemes through WUAs. It is also critical for the government to supply and subsidize farm inputs, low-cost finance, and other agricultural services, such as rice marketing chains, production diversification, and other agricultural services.

The Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) has a long history of providing extension services to Bangladesh's crop farmers. This study attempted to explore the extent of problems that crop farmers faced regarding acquiring the extension services provided by DAE. This study was conducted in three villages of Gauripur Upazila (sub-district) in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh. A face-to-face interview was conducted with 100 sampled farmers for the data collection on a pre-tested and structured interview schedule. The key variable, named as the extent of problems was measured using a 4-point rating scale. Both enter and step-wise regression models were employed on the data. Results indicated that half of the respondents faced a moderate level of problems while 40% faced a high level of problems. The extension workers' poor communication skill was the most critical issue, followed by insufficient resources and maintaining contact with resource-rich farmers as perceived by the respondents. Crop farmers' education, perceived economic return, the experience of participating in extension activities, training, and fatalism were significantly associated with the problems faced by them. Education, perceived economic return, the experience of participating in extension activities, and training were discovered to be essential determinants of the degree of problems related to extension services. The study identified several chances for the policymakers to address influential factors for improving crop extension services of DAE. Furthermore, improved coordination and providing crop farmers with need-based training and resources may help mitigate the identified issues.

This study attempted to explore the extent of problems that crop farmers faced regarding acquiring the extension services provided by DAE. This study was conducted in three villages of Gauripur Upazila (sub-district) in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh. A face-to-face interview was conducted with 100 sampled farmers for the data collection on a pre-tested and structured interview schedule. The key variable, named as the extent of problems was measured using a 4-point rating scale. Both enter and step-wise regression models were employed on the data. Results indicated that half of the respondents faced a moderate level of problems while 40% faced a high level of problems. The extension workers' poor communication skill was the most critical issue, followed by insufficient resources and maintaining contact with resource-rich farmers as perceived by the respondents.
