Nowadays, thousands tons of chemicals material are used to increase agricultural production that provides a risky situation for the communities. Recently, biological or organic agriculture is considered to get rid of such problems. But this style of agriculture is facing with many difficulties and challenges. The purpose of this research is to investigate the obstacles to the development of organic agriculture in Kohgiluyeh and Buyer-Ahmad provinces of Iran. This study was performed in three phases by using Delphi method. In this regard, the statistical population of the study were 32 experts of Jihad Agricultural Organization of Kohgiluyeh and Buyer-Ahmad Province, Iran. The results show that, regarding economic barriers, lack of governmental support; regarding social - cultural barriers, lack of consumption culture of organic products and regarding the political and administrative barriers, lack of clear policies and legislation in the field of organic farming are the main obstacles. Weakness in the education system for the production and consumption of organic products is also among the highest priorities in educational barriers. Education and culturalization in the field organic agriculture and appointing a special organization for this purpose seems to be essential.

This study aims to complement previous studies and create an overview of the subject of agricultural holdings both at the Romanian and European level. According to the statistical data and using a quantitative and qualitative research method, it was found that more than 30 years after the restoration of land ownership, a percentage of approximately 96% of the holdings in Romania are smaller than 10 hectares, while over 70% of them are represented by farms up to 2 hectares. Therefore there huge differences and discrepancies between Romania and other EU countries in terms of agricultural holdings. The results obtained confirm that small-sized farms are found in countries such as Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Greece and Portugal, while medium-sized holdings are found especially in countries such as Poland, Spain and Italy, the rest of the holdings, those between 50 and over 100 hectares, they are mostly found in Luxembourg, Finland, the Netherlands and even Germany and France.

This paper studied the performance audit regarding the management of the agricultural sector subsidy funds in order to determine to what extent the actions undertaken boosted the agricultural development process in the Republic of Moldova. The analysis revealed that the activity of subsidizing agriculture is primarily aimed at increasing competitiveness and the sustainable development of the agri-food sector. This situation leads to the modernization of the agri-food chain, facilitating access to capital markets for agricultural producers, adapting to climate changes and mitigating their effects on agricultural production, increasing rural employment opportunities, developing agricultural businesses, etc. The data on the subsidy activity were taken from the database of the Agency for Intervention and Payments for Agriculture from the Republic of Moldova, which is responsible for managing the subsidy fund. The results of the study highlight a fairly efficient management of financial means for subsidizing the national agricultural sector.

The study’s main objective was to examine the profitability of poultry production and its constraints. Data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire which was evaluated using descriptive statistics, 4 Likert scale and regression analysis. The data analysis reveals that most poultry farmers were male with a mean farming experience of 8 years. Most respondents were married while the mean family size was 7 persons with a secondary educational level. The study revealed that sex (0.002), age (0.000), farming experience (0.000) and education (0.000) have significant positive effect on the poultry production profitability while household size (0.739) had an insignificant positive effect on the poultry production profitability. The study recommends that poultry farmers’ inputs should be subsidized by Government to reduce the cost of inputs and give technical support to poultry farmers to enhance poultry business development thereby resulting in more profit.

Meat is an important element in human nutrition, and its consumption is expected to increase in the coming years in parallel with population growth. However, the livestock sector faces problems related to climate change, animal protection and welfare, and various epizootics, which have decimated livestock. In this context, the article analyses pig, cattle and sheep herds, as well as the production of pig, beef and sheep meat resulting from slaughterhouses in the EU, focusing on the main animal breeders and meat producers, for the period 2018-2022. The results of the study show that the number of pigs, cattle and sheep in the EU decreased during the period under review, as well as the total production of slaughtered meat. The most important pig breeders were Spain, Germany and France, for cattle - France, Germany and Ireland, and for sheep - Spain, Romania and Greece. Among the meat-producing countries stood out: for pork - Spain, Germany and France; for beef - France, Germany and Italy and for sheep meat - Spain, France and Ireland. At the same time, the article presents the perspectives of meat consumption, in the context of the pressures to which the livestock sector is subject and the changes that are manifested in the food preferences of European consumers.

The world's food security largely depends on the stability of agri-business worldwide, but mainly in the main producing countries of agri-food products. The purpose of the study is to determine the current realities and opportunities for the development of agrarian business in Ukraine in crisis conditions for the development of effective strategies and promising growth of the agrarian sector. Research methods: monographic, abstract-logical methods, method of analogies and comparisons, systematic approach, statistical and graphic methods. In the course of the study, it was determined that in 2022, a significant number of agricultural enterprises suffered losses as a result of the system challenges. The loss of 15-20% of cattle, pigs, and poultry, and the loss of production facilities and animal husbandry complexes led to a reduction in production in both the crop and animal husbandry sectors. The article highlights the exogenous and endogenous risks of the functioning of the agricultural sector. Internal risks include loss of production and resource potential of the agricultural sector; the liquidation of a significant number of agrarian business enterprises; change of specialization due to significant economic losses; loss of part of the infrastructure facilities for storage and primary processing of agricultural products; difficulty in selling products to foreign markets. Exogenous risks are described, in particular, the reduction of investments in agricultural production, problems with the purchase and import of fertilizers and plant protection products into the country, and delays in the purchase of modern agricultural machinery. It was noted that the presence of the listed external risks will have a negative impact on the country's economy and food security. The actions of the government for the sustainability of agrarian business are described, namely, the restoration of the export of agricultural products by sea, the development of alternative logistics networks for export, solving the problems of the seed company, and providing the possibility of special credit programs and tax holidays. The main problematic issues that the government needs to solve to ensure the stability of the agrarian business and the possibility of its further effective functioning are presented.

Maize, one of the most popular cereal, originates from the Central America and is very versatile, being used in various fields. It is used in food, as feed and in industry. The purpose of the paper regards the choice of hybrids which is one of the most important factors influencing the productivity and quality of the maize. The area where the crop is located influences the choice of the most suitable hybrid, as it must be selected according to the average temperature during the growing period and the type of soil. In this study, the experiments were carried out in the climate and soil conditions of Moara Domneasca Research Station. To find the right hybrid, several hybrids were selected to grow and later to compare their harvest and choose the optimal variant. To obtain the highest production of maize, the chosen hybrid should be also as resistant as possible to extreme weather conditions, such as periods of drought grown in the Romanian Plain, on a specific soil and fertilized with different doses of chemical fertilizers. The economic efficiency of the applied fertilization system was also analyzed. As a conclusion, the two hybrids tested reacted positively to chemical fertilization. The SC4140 hybrid behaved better in the non-fertilized version, achieving higher yields than the P9903 hybrid.

Crop management in the Romanian agriculture faces many risks and challenges that directly influence the technical and economic performance of the farms and implicitly the sustainability of the agricultural sector. These challenges range from climate change to resource issues, from plant health problems to market and regulatory issues. It is therefore essential to understand these issues in detail to develop effective crop management strategies and support Romanian agriculture in the face of a complex and changing environment. Through methods of statistical analyses and bibliographic documentation, we will identify and analyze this risks and challenges in detail in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the agricultural landscape in Romania in order to develop some necessary measures to reduce and, as far as possible, eliminate these risks. Data were collected from public institutions, from the official National Institute of Statistics, NIS, website Tempo-Online. The aim of crop management in Romania, as in any other country, is to ensure efficient, sustainable and profitable agricultural production. By adopting these recommendations and proactively addressing risks and challenges, agriculture in Romania can become more resilient and sustainable, further ensuring the supply of high-quality food and contributing to the country's economic development.

Every activity and fruit production of viticulture farms always brings risks. It is therefore important to develop a risk management system that allows for the identification, assessment and minimization of threats to the production of grape products. The organization of such a system requires a detailed analysis and systematization of the risk factors affecting the viticulture-wine-making activity. Reducing and managing risks is possible by knowing the risk factors and the rules of behavior with the risks. Preventive measures taken to manage the risks that may arise, in addition to the protection of the grape plant, will also create the conditions for increasing the product quality and increasing the yield. The purpose of this study is to examine the different risk sources encountered in grape growing, to reveal different risk management strategies that can be carried out by growers, and to compare and evaluate these aspects of grape growing in Azerbaijan with examples from different countries. The main material of the study consists of the data obtained from FAO, The State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan, The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the results obtained from previous researches on the subject. The collected statistical data were arranged in the form of tables and figures and interpreted by making percentage and index calculations. Risk management in grape production depends on the values, knowledge, past experience, financial obligations of the growers, and the magnitude of potential gains or losses associated with any particular risk.
