: Agriculture plays an important role in the economic growth and development prospects of a vast majority of developing countries including Rwanda. Market channel choice makes important contributions to the incomes and other livelihood attributes among smallholder farmers in these countries. The main aim of this study was to assess the factors influencing the Irish potato producer’s to choice a market channel in Rwanda. A case study Musanze District. A multistage sampling procedure was specifically used to select Musanze district form five composed Northern Province. Four Irish potato producers in each village were randomly selected using simple random sampling to give a total sample size of 209 respondents interviewed in study area. Both descriptive statistics and the multinomial logistic regression model were used to analyse data that was collected from Irish potato producers in study area. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were male. The findings showed that the majority of respondents are in range 46-55 years followed by the range of 56 years. The result of Multinomial Logit regression analysis showed that education level, household size, land size

: The e-commerce of agricultural machinery components can help the rapid development of the agricultural machinery industry and accelerate the implementation of rural revitalization strategies. The study selected the small and micro enterprises in Pangkou Auto Agricultural Machinery Parts City, Gaotang County, as the research subjects, and conducted an empirical analysis on the adoption willingness of e-commerce operators of agricultural machinery parts in Pangkou Auto Agricultural Machinery Parts City by building an economic model. The results showed that the accuracy of the economic model's prediction reached 76%, and the value of Nagelerke R2 reached 0.580, indicating that the model has a good fitting effect as a whole, it has a good explanatory effect and statistical significance for the dependent variable. The results show that age has become a protective factor for the e-commerce willingness of agricultural machinery component operators, while other factors have a relatively weak effect on the e-commerce operation of hospitals. The research provided a specific explanation of the results and summarized the construction of a complete network system to improve the level of after-sales service; strengthen digital empowering retail and implement an e-commerce+live streaming marketing model; improve e-commerce capabilities and break down barriers to information exchange; strengthen financial policy support and a series of countermeasures to expand the e-commerce operation of agricultural machinery parts.

: The majority of Sierra Leoneans consume rice as their primary staple food every day. The most significant staple crop worldwide and in Sierra Leone is rice (Oryzae sativa L.), which provides nourishment for about half of the world's population. The goal of this research is to quantify post-harvest losses in rice processing at agriculture business centers (ABCs). The research experiment was carried out at eight selected functioning Agriculture Business Centers (ABCs) in eight districts across Sierra Leone. An assessment was conducted to determine the level of knowledge and farmers’ awareness of post-harvest losses from harvesting to milling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from two hundred and thirty-two (232) rice farmers who were selected through a combination of multi-stage, purposive, and simple random sampling techniques. Yemen's (1967) scientific formula was adopted in selecting the sample size. Data analysis was undertaken using descriptive statistical tools for a phased estimation of postharvest losses. The study areas were found to be dominated by females; only 84 (36%) were males. The data showed that 92 (39.7%) of the farmers had no formal education in the research areas; the majority (63%) of the rice farmers cultivated between 1 and 3 hectares; and 98 (42.2%) had farming experience between 10 and 14 years. According to the findings, the majority of respondents (80%) believe that postharvest losses are excessive. From the results, threshing losses account for the peak of 26%, which is 0.26 kg; 92.7 percent of the respondents revealed that a lack of harvesting equipment is the main challenge; and 41.8 percent of the respondents have a strong belief that the problems of postharvest losses of rice can be significantly reduced through mechanization. The results revealed that drying losses vary significantly between parboiling methods. The values obtained for milling are different for both, but they are not significant. The values obtained from the grain quality parameters (head grain, fissuring, 1000 grain weight, chalky, and dockages) show a significant difference between the improved and traditional methods for parboiled rice at the @=0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that threshing losses had an adverse effect on rice farmers' income and consequently recommended awareness campaigns and demonstrations on rice handling and postharvest loss prevention.
