Due to climate modifications, extremely dry years are becoming more frequent in Romania, the Oltenia region being one of the most affected areas. In this context, farmers must choose the most suitable hybrids for their farm, because the level of grain yield and its quality depend on this choice. This study was designed to compare the phenology, grain yield and associated traits of some maize hybrids belonging to two different maturity groups (4 semi-early and 4 semi-late), under the combined effect of drought and heat in 2022. Experiences were placed under field conditions at Agricultural Research and Development Station (ARDS) Simnic, the Oltenia region, Romania in a randomized block design on a reddish brown soil. The obtained results showed that the maize hybrids from the semi-early maturity group outperformed maize hybrids from the semi-late maturity group with a grain yield advantage of 865 kg/ha (+30%). The semi-early hybrids Magnus (4,334 kg /ha) and DKC 4598 (3,814 kg/ha), closely followed by HSF 1180-17 (3,719 kg/ha) were superior for grain yield compared to other hybrids, showing a good adaptability to extreme drought conditions in the central part of Oltenia.

The purpose of the study is to assess available agroclimatic resources and forecast heat supply in the post-harvest period in the Dry Steppe zone of Ukraine. Dynamic analysis of agrometeorological indices was performed by comparing the average long-term values. The correlation analysis of the agroclimatic conditions of the growing season revealed a significantly strong dependence of individual meteorological indices on the availability of heat resources in the post-harvest period. It was established that the sum of effective and active temperatures for the post-harvest period has a weak and moderate correlation with the mean monthly air temperature and atmospheric aridity index in April and May, while in June the coefficient increases. The highest correlation of the specified meteorological parameters was recorded for the period 1992–2021. Linear regression models of the dependence of the sum of active and effective temperatures during the post-harvest period with high adequacy (R2=0.69–0.70) were developed. The models allow forecasting the temperature conditions for placing the fore crops for winter wheat. Besides, they are useful for better selection of varieties and hybrids for the post-harvest crops of sunflower and millet. As a result, 28.31% higher yields of millet, and 15.77% higher yields of sunflower in 2022-2023, comparing to 2021, were collected owing to better choice of suitable crops’ genotypes. The economic effect of the methodology reached additional 220 EUR/ha for millet, and 80 EUR/ha for sunflower, respectively. The implementation of this method contributes to a more productive use of natural resources and an increase in crop productivity and profitability.

The research was on the analyses factors influencing sustainable commercialization of Non- Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) among rural households in Delta State, Nigeria. The sampling techniques used to select 340 rural households was the multistage random sampling. Data were gathered with the aid of a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Results showed that about 66.5% men and women of active age were involved with respect to NTFPs commercialization. There were more head of households with formal education (51.8%), though they were more of First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC). The study found the mean household size of 8 persons. Commercialization of NTFPs was not sustained. Forest conservation was poor and deforestation was high (72.5%). The regression analysis with an R2value of 0.948 and F-ratio of 254.712 implied a significant impact between the dependent and independent variables at 0,05 level.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the organizational tendencies and factors affecting the organizational preferences of fresh fruit and vegetable producers in Izmir province, Türkiye. In study, data from 155 producers were compiled with proportional sampling. A five-point Likert scale was used to evaluate the factors that producers consider important regarding agricultural organization, their preferences and tendencies, and their opinions and expectations. In the study, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to reveal the organization model preferences of the producers according to various criteria. According to the study results, the average age and education period of producers are 49.12 and 7.86 years, respectively. 63.87% of the producers are currently partners in any agricultural cooperative. The most important expectations of producers from cooperatives are the managers must have honest and moral values, create solidarity and unity among the producers, be based on the democratic management approach, and not allow unfair gain and corruption. The most effective criterion for producers' choice of organizational model is price advantage. This criterion is followed by input supply, risk reduction, technical training and consultancy and marketing opportunity in order of importance. When producer decisions are evaluated according to the selection criteria among alternative organizational models; it has been determined that the first choices of producers are cooperatives, followed by individual farms, companies and producer unions, respectively. 76.77% of the producers stated that they could become partners if a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative was established in the region.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the dynamics and identify seasonal fluctuations in Ukraine's agricultural exports by type of transport from March 2022 to February 2024. The analysis uses a dashboard on the state of foreign trade in agricultural products. It contains a number of interactive diagrams on border crossings for nine types of goods (corn, wheat, sunflower oil, meal, rapeseed, soya beans, barley, sunflower seeds, soya oil) and four types of transport (ports, rail, road, ferries). The analysis shows that in March 2022 – February 2024, Ukrainian farmers exported an average of 4.768 million tonnes of products per month, of which 3.548 million tonnes were exported through ports, 837.9 thousand tonnes by rail, 321.2 thousand tonnes by road, and 61.6 thousand tonnes by ferries. The lowest volumes of exports of agricultural products were observed in March 2022, followed by a gradual increase. Exports by all types of transport are characterised by two waves of seasonality: growth (seasonality indices exceeding 100%) and decline (seasonality indices below 100%). For ports, these phases last in September-February and March-August; for rail transport, in August-February and March-July; for road transport, in July-November and December-June; and for ferries, in July-October and November-June. The seasonality of agricultural exports is related to the seasonality of their production, weather conditions, and the work of the customs services of Ukraine and the countries through which they are exported.

Recently, the European Commission approved mealworms as a food product in the European Union. Following this authorisation, mealworms are considered 'novel foods'. Lab-grown meat is regulated in the EU as "novel food", a legal definition that includes products not significantly present in Europeans' diets before May 1997. In this context, the paper aimed to analyze the perception of the Romanian consumers towards the use of insects and artificial meat in public food. For this purpose, it was applied a questionnaire with 6 questions to a number of 1,200 people over 16 years old. The results pointed out that of the 1,200 questioned individuals, only 30% would consume edible insects. This aspect is due to the fact that in Romania the consumption of insects is not a habit as in other countries, where insects are consumed almost daily. Also, artificial meat is not highly rated by consumers. A very small proportion of those who took part in the survey agree with the production and consumption of artificial meat.

This study aims to reveal the complex structure of Indonesian palm oil export companies. Primary data were obtained from a survey of 15 palm oil export companies in Indonesia. The survey was conducted through in-depth interviews. The list of companies surveyed was obtained through the Indonesian Palm Oil Research Center (PPKS) with a purposive sampling method. Based on the research results, 13.13% of palm oil export companies are state-owned enterprises (PTPN), and 86.67% are limited liability companies (LLC). 80% of the companies are involved in production, 93% are involved in processing, storage, and packaging, and 100% sell products domestically and export. The survey results show that 93% of the companies have the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification, which aims to ensure responsible, environmentally, and socially friendly palm oil production. 66% of the companies have received ISO certification, confirming the quality and efficiency of management systems following international standards. Based on the research results, 93% of companies export to China, 86% to India, 66% to the USA, and 60% to the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and Vietnam. Palm oil companies face various problems, such as climate issues, high fertilizer prices, export restriction policies by the government and importing countries, and negative campaigns by NGOs on palm oil. Solutions implemented by the company include careful planning of fertilization, management of raw material purchases, market diversification, active participation in industry associations, and compliance with national and global palm oil sustainability standards.

Achieving technological independence from imported technologies and innovative products for the agricultural sector of the Russian economy is becoming especially relevant. The purpose of this study is to assess the balance of institutional elements of the system of scientific support and commercialization of innovations in the agricultural sector of economics and science, government, agribusiness, marketing and informatization using fuzzy cognitive models. Based on the application of cognitive modeling methods, relationships were identified between these elements for 16 different indicators included in the subsystems: educational potential, digitalization potential, human resources, science financing; research performance. Analysis and assessment of the influence of factors on each other and on the system as a whole was carried out on the basis of regression analysis using the example of 84 regions of Russia using data for 2021-2022. The greatest impact on the volume of shipped innovative goods, considered as the main concept, was exerted by the determinants "The share of organizations implementing technological innovations" and "The ratio of the salaries of scientific workers to the average salary in the region", other concepts are characterized by weak or negative dependencies. The results of cognitive modeling of the system of scientific support and commercialization of innovations in agriculture in Russia show the need to develop mechanisms for harmonizing federal and regional policies in the field of innovation implementation. The practical value of the research results lies in the possibility of applying the results in developing regional programs to accelerate the implementation of innovations in various industries and their replication.
