Profitable and sustainable maize production is based on the use of stable and performing hybrids, suitable for contrasting environmental conditions. This paper presents the behaviour of three commercial maize hybrids at ARDS Șimnic- Craiova, Dolj County, in the period 2017-2020. The results of the ANOVA showed that the hybrid, year, and interaction H Y had significant effects on grain yield. The major variation of grain yields (80%) was caused by the year, the highest yields being obtained in 2018 and 2020, while the lower grain yields were obtained in 2017 and 2019. Average grain yields, variation coefficients (CV), regression coefficients (b), intercept values (a) and determination coefficient values (R2) of hybrids were examined as stability parameters. The yield stability analysis indicated that the Iezer hybrid has a good adaptability to unfavourable environmental conditions from the study area, the P 0216 hybrid has a good adaptability to favourable environmental conditions, and the P 9637 hybrid has a good adaptability to contrasting environmental conditions.

The study of the corporate insolvencies’ evolution is very important especially for the management of the company and in for the internal audit, control and performances forecasting. The objectives of the article is to analyse the evolution of number of insolvencies and to analyse some legal aspects regarding the corporate insolvencies in the Ukraine and Republic of Moldova till 2021. For this reason, this study try to answer the next three questions: 1) What was the evolution of number of corporate insolvencies in Republic of Moldova and Ukraine during 2013-2020? 2) What are the legislative regulations regarding insolvency proceedings in Republic of Moldova and Ukraine? 3) What is the level of development of the research of the corporate insolvencies forecast methods in these two countries? For this purpose, the following methods were applied: comparative-critical analysis of the literature, documentation, and documentary analysis, statistical methods of analysis, constructivist approach, and positivist approach. The results of this research show that these two countries are characterized by different directions of modifications of number of corporate insolvencies during the analysed period, excepting 2020 year, when the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact. At the same time, the performed econometric analysis, shows that the Republic of Moldova and Ukrainian models have a relatively high adjustment to the empirical data, demonstrating the possibility to forecast the number of corporate insolvencies. Regarding the legislative regulations, can be remarked that the main differences established in the legislation of these two countries relate to the amount and term of non-payment of debts. In addition, the corporate insolvencies forecast methods in Ukraine are much more advanced then in Republic of Moldova.

The main aim was to x-rayed broiler profitability in the surveyed area. Multi-stage sampling method was used in respondents’ selection. Questionnaires were utilized to obtained data which were analysed employing descriptive statistics and benefit cost ratio model. The study witnessed moderate family size with secondary school level in their productive age. Broiler enterprise was engaged upon as a minor occupation with low mean broiler size of 100 birds and 10 years rearing experience. The findings indicated that broiler income and production cost were N285,000 ($693.84) and N239,800 ($583.80) respectively. Benefit cost ratio of 1.2 was realized which indicated 20% profit per cycle (five to six weeks). Considering the rate of quick turn-over the broiler production business is profitable. It recommends that flock size should be increased and effective management of resources to cut down production cost.

Global efforts at improving food and nutrition security should tackle the menace of crop losses. This study assessed postharvest losses in selected leafy vegetables marketing in Lagelu Local Government Area, Oyo State Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was utilized to select one hundred and ten (110) leafy vegetable marketers as study sample while structured interview schedule was used to gather relevant data on marketing costs and returns, cost of post-harvest losses to marketing as well as constraints to vegetable marketing in the study area. Data collected were analyzed with appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Results show that the sampled leafy vegetable marketers were female (100.0%) and married (80.9%) having average household size of 7±1.60 members. Age, years of formal education and marketing experience averaged 44.6±10.23, 3.35±1.52 and 14±3.2years, respectively. The average amount invested in leafy vegetable marketing per month was ₦52,932.73±16,698.78 while the average monthly income from leafy vegetable marketing was ₦72,354.91±25,599.35 leaving a marketing margin of ₦19,422.18. The monetary values for the monthly estimated postharvest losses incurred on marketing of Corchorus olitorus, Celosia argentea, Telfeira occidentalis, Solanum macrocarpon and Amaranthus spinosus were ₦898.19±206.14, ₦685.45±157.25, ₦810.90±186.03, ₦674.18±154.67 and ₦567.27±130.14, respectively. Perishable nature of vegetables (1.53) and inadequate storage and processing facilities (1.44) were reported as the most severe constraints to leafy vegetable marketing in the study area. Age (t=3.785), years of formal education (t=-2.072), marketing experience (t=-5.226), amount invested in vegetable marketing (t=-22.637) and monthly income (t=21.36) all at p≤0.05, significantly determined postharvest losses in leafy vegetable marketing in the study area. In conclusion, the study established an appreciable level of postharvest losses to leafy vegetables marketing and recommended that marketers should be adequately trained in the areas of postharvest handling, processing and storage of leafy vegetables.

In the context of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, access to education and culture was predominantly online. Those responsible for cultural activities in the rural environment ensured access to the culture and traditions specific to the rural area. In this sense, we proposed an analysis of cultural support activities for education in the rural environment during the pandemic period. The present work was structured in three parts, namely: One part in which those responsible for cultural activities are identified, the links between them and the state's contribution to the development of culture, a second part in which we analyzed the specific cultural activities of each institution and the correlation with the results obtained in the educational system in the established area. The last part of the research was dedicated to the conclusions obtained from the analysis.

Climate change has a significant impact on agricultural productivity, particularly crop production. Research has been focused on the examination of a traditional insurance model applied since 2020 based on state support for the management of agricultural risks. Based on the study of substantial statistical data, the advantages, challenges, and drawbacks of this model in the process of crop insurance are discussed. The study focuses on the frequency of covered risks occurrence, as well as the interrelationships between them based on the country's geographical and climatic characteristics. Risk assessment allows farmers to determine the most likely directions of behavior that may arise in the process of insuring their products. Drought risk was particularly emphasized that is not covered by Agrarian Insurance Fund. Droughts are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change, and their uniform role in crop loss necessitates that the need to address this problem be recognized in current times. The authors substantiate that an index-based insurance model based on weather parameters is a viable alternative to the traditional insurance model for assuring drought coverage, and they advocate using it to diversify the insurance system.

This study investigated the determinants of cocoa export earnings in Nigeria between 1980 and 2019. Secondary data spanning between 1980 and 2019 were collected from reputable sources such as Food and Agriculture Organisation Statistical Database (FAOSTAT), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Central bank of Nigeria (CBN). Descriptive Statistics, Augment Dickey Fuller Johnson co- integration, and vector error correction (VECM) were the analytical tools employed in the study. Results indicated that variables of the model were stationary after first difference and were co- integrated. VECM results shows that domestic production of cocoa negatively influences cocoa export earnings in the short run, while cocoa output and gross domestic product (GDP) had direct relationship with cocoa export values in the long run, but exchange and interest rates had negative effect on cocoa export values over the study period. It is concluded that domestic production, GDP, exchange and interest rates were the variables determining the cocoa export earnings over the study period. It is recommended that policy reforms on coco production and value chain, flexible exchange and a single digit interest rates would improve cocoa earnings and its contribution to GDP.

Despite the availability of vegetables, a large proportion of the Philippine population consumes an inadequate amount of vegetables. Low vegetable consumption is among the top risk factor contributing to several health problems. This study investigates the determinants of vegetable consumption particularly in Isabel, Leyte, Philippines using a cross-sectional data analysis. The descriptive analysis shows that the average daily vegetable consumption per capita is 48.2 grams lower than the recommended standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO) or Food and Nutritional Research Institute (FNRI). The regression analysis suggests that households who produce their own vegetables consume more vegetables. However, as income increases, vegetable consumption decreases because households opt to consume more meat products. Results of the study suggest that localization of vegetable supply is one of the feasible options that policymakers can consider in increasing vegetable consumption.

The pedoclimatic conditions of Moldova are favorable for the development of ecological agriculture and trading organic agri-food production is a real chance to gain new distribution markets. As the demand for organic agricultural products is increasing, it can be considered a new opportunity for the agri-food export development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current situation in the development of ecological agriculture in Moldova and its prospects for future growth. The research is based on data provided by Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI), Agency of Interventions and Payments in Agriculture (AIPA). The paper includes an analysis regarding the dynamics of areas cultivated under organic farming in Moldova, number of ecological farmers, their territorial distribution, and state subsidies allocated for development of ecological farming. Farmers education and training have an important role in promoting organic agriculture and ecologic practices in farming. The most challenging problem in organic farming is preventing and controlling diseases and pests. Thus, scientific research plays a specific role in promoting ecological agriculture, and it has a responsibility to focus on giving technical-practical solutions that are simple to implement for all technological components.
