Good economic profitability in rice farming is known to have a positive influence on the happiness or well-being of farmers. This study investigated the relationship between profit and happiness of rice farmers in Leyte, Philippines under the carrying out of Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) in the country. The study employed cross-sectional and secondary data from an existing study from rice farming literature that measures the profit and corresponding happiness of a farmer in one cropping season. Regression modeling was used to elucidate the correlation between profit and happiness, and K-means clustering was employed to categorize a group of farmers that have more or less the same characteristics. Results showed that, on average, profit and happiness are relatively low during the implementation of RTL. The bivariate linear regression model has shown that there is a positive relationship between profit and happiness. This implies that as profit increases, the happiness of a farmer also increases. In addition, the logistic regression has revealed that the likelihood of a farmer being happy increases by 0.324% when the profit increases by 1%. Moreover, the ordered logistic regression has shown that as profit increases by 1%, farmers' log odds of being happy increase by 0.0129. Furthermore, by K-means clustering, the dominant of the farmers (45.76%) are grouped as low profit and happiness, and only 7.91% are categorized as high profit and happiness under RTL. Hence, the study recommends that the Philippine government must subsidize the local farmers' needs to increase their economic profit and improve their well-being as a farmer.

Turkey's relations with the European Union (EU) financial assistance, which began in 1963, continue today. The IPARD (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance Rural Development) program aims to increase the efficiency of enterprises and achieve Community quality and quality management standards to achieve rural development and sustainability. This research aimed to measure investors' perceptions of the quality (QA), after-sales quality (ASQ), and rural development for IPARD (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance Rural Development) funds. Additional points are given for investor and company characteristics in some measures. This research reveals whether additional scores make a significant difference. 97 enterprises that received support from IPARD I and IPARD II in Bursa province, Turkey, were interviewed. Results showed that the participants' overall perception of RDS was higher than QA and ASQ. The quality perceptions were the lowest. 25 years old and younger investors had the highest QA and ASQ perceptions. An increase in educational level has led to a rise in the QA, ASQ, and RDS perceptions. No stable trend was observed between the increase in experience and the increase in QA and ASQ perceptions. The perception of RDS is higher among the investors who claim to follow rural development activities.

The article is aimed at studying the state of agricultural cooperation in Ukraine in a historical retrospective. It is shown that before the October Revolution of 1917, cooperation in the country successfully developed, was profitable and convenient for participants in cooperatives. The methods of pseudo-cooperation, which were practiced in the USSR and received the collective name "collectivization", are analyzed. It has been proved that collectivization and cooperation differ in essence; this is confirmed by the unprofitability of collective farms and the fact that they consistently received subsidies from the state. The main problems of agricultural cooperation in Ukraine from 1991 to the present time are revealed. The regulatory and legal support of this sphere and its change are analyzed, taking into account the international documents signed by Ukraine, as well as Ukraine's obtaining the status of a candidate country for joining the European Union. It is shown that at the present stage, under martial law, the functioning and development of cooperation is difficult, but there is reason to expect an improvement in the situation after the cessation of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. The statistics used in this study are taken from the official website of the State Department of Statistics of Ukraine; records of agricultural cooperatives have been kept since 2004.

The paper is aimed at assessing the economic efficiency of food industry enterprises based on the foreign capital indicator. The decisive emphasis was placed on the hypothesis that, within the economic efficiency of groups of companies with and without foreign capital, companies with foreign capital would be more efficient. This hypothesis was not confirmed in the 2020 calculations, as some enterprises without foreign capital also achieved comparable or better results compared to groups of enterprises with foreign capital. Given that the calculation of the economic efficiency of food enterprises by the method of classifying groups of enterprises was carried out for the first time, we therefore consider the result to be a preliminary finding.

The basic goals of the research consisted in the elucidation of the essence and significance of the innovative management, its connection with the enterprises' performance, as well as the reflection on the implementation of innovative management in the food production sector of the Republic of Moldova. The research was carried out with the use of qualitative and quantitative methods: literature review, interview, content analysis, thematic and statistical analysis.As a result of the research, problems related to the economic efficiency of the food enterprises, as well as related to the reduced tendencies of the exports of the food products have been identified.It was also found out that the number of innovative food enterprises is continuously decreasing. Thus, even if more and more enterprises are advocating for the combination of different types of innovations (a fact positively appreciated), the reduction in the number of innovative enterprises induces the reasoning that the sector does not sufficiently capitalize on innovation as a performance factor. According to the opinion of the company representatives, the financial barriers have the greatest negative impact on the innovative activity of food enterprises, followed by the barriers related to the reduced demand for innovative products, the insufficiently capitalized human factor, deficiencies in creating partnerships, insufficient information etc. In these conditions, the amplification of efforts to promote and support innovations is required as an important direction for improving the management of food enterprises.

The main economic objective of farms in Romania is to maximize turnover, this indicator being identified as the main source of profit growth. This paper analyses the turnover of a medium-sized vegetal farm, which is classified as a micro-enterprise for tax purposes. The data were collected from the enterprise accounting regarding the balance sheet and profit and loss account and rate method was used to assess the impact of turnover on various financial indicators. To increase turnover, the medium-sized vegetal farm acts in accordance with its own needs for development and expansion on the market, the conclusion being that an advantageous position on the market is interdependent with an increased turnover and therefore with greater profitability.

In modern conditions, the problem of improving the mechanism of state support for innovative agricultural production is actualized. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of financing agricultural science and develop a mechanism for stimulating innovative agricultural production. The article analyzes the impact of investments on the innovative development of agricultural systems based on the construction of models of the modified Cobb-Douglas production function, substantiates methodological approaches to financing agricultural science to increase incentives. for innovative agricultural production. Foreign and domestic theoretical and methodological approaches to the financing of agricultural science have been studied. Empirically, calculations were made to determine the optimal level of financing of agricultural science in order to reduce interregional differentiation. It has been empirically proven that the process of financing scientific research in the field of agricultural sciences does not sufficiently influence the dynamics of production volumes. Approaches have been developed to optimize the means of financing agricultural science on the basis of the achieved criterion of innovativeness of production. The practical significance of the results of this work lies in the improvement of tools for stimulating innovative production.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a domino effect on various sectors, both macro and micro. Traditional fishermen in Kedonganan Village (which is a coastal area and a well-known tourist destination in Bali) have also experienced a decline in tourism activities, especially related to limited funding. The purpose of this research is to improve the welfare of fishery entrepreneurs in Kedonganan Village after Covid-19 through an inclusive financing model in the perspective of the Village Credit Institution. This type of research is qualitative research by analyzing data with existing theories to dissect research problems. The data analysis technique used in this research is qualitative data analysis. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that traditional fishermen in Kedonganan Village feel helped by financial assistance (capital) for individuals, but cannot be given to fishing groups because they do not have formal legal elements. The beneficiary fishermen also stated their readiness to increase their business, one of which was through increasing working time, so that credit installments could be paid. In addition, the assistance of fishing gear facilities and infrastructure (including software applications) as well as institutional empowerment has been able to improve the welfare of fishery entrepreneurs.

This research examined the challenges and factors affecting the behaviours of rice farmers towards adopting the bio-fortified rice technology in the Covid-19 pandemic era. The trust of the paper rests on despite the awareness and support to farmers to adopt the new bio-fortified rice technology and the importance of technology in farmers' welfare; the acceptance has been low and slow. More importantly, research in this area has neglected the factors influencing the adoption of biofortified rice and its impact on the production and income of the farmers in Nigeria during the pandemic era. This study used a multi-stage sampling procedure to select 540 (200 non-adopters and 340 adopters) rice, farmers. Data were collected using computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) and analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The major result shows that the socioeconomic profiles of the adopters were better than the non-adopters. The decision by the farming households to adopt biofortified rice was significantly influenced by the household's income level, extension agent contact, credit, association with cooperatives and availability of information. In addition, adopting biofortified rice increased the adopters' income across all categories of inc12ome considered. The rice farmers faced general and specific Covid-19 challenges that constrained them from adopting the technology. It was recommended, among others, that emergency agencies whose duties are to mitigate the effects of a pandemic-related crisis should have offices in the rural areas to have close contact with the information needs of the rural farmers in times of emergency.

The object of the research was the study of the influence of the breed of pigs and methods of their breeding on the reproductive functions of sows. Manifestation of various forms of the effect of hybrid power during direct and reverse crossing of animals of these breeds, as well as the tightness and directionality of correlative relationships were studied. No significant difference was found in most parameters of reproductive capacity between Large White and Landrace sows of Irish origin for purebred breeding and crossing, except for individual piglet weight at weaning. The weight of one piglet at weaning was probably higher in purebred litters of the Landrace breed compared to other investigated genotypes. We found that the heterosis caused the advantages of crossbred litters over purebred litters in most traits of reproductive performance. But despite this, the mass of weaned piglets had an intermediate form of inheritance. It was established that there was a strong positive correlation between fertility indicators and litter weight of piglets at birth, as well as between the number of piglets in the nest at weaning and the weight of the litter of piglets at weaning, similarly as between the weight of the litter of piglets at birth and the number of piglets in the nest at weaning and the weight of the litter of piglets at weaning. A strong positive correlation was found between indicators of the number of piglets in the nest at weaning and their weight during this period, as well as between the individual weight of the piglet at weaning and the weight of the nest of piglets at the time of weaning. Between multifertility and the average weight of one piglet at weaning, an inverse moderate relationship was found, as well as between the indicator of survival of piglets before weaning and survival of piglets at the time of weaning. As a result of the research, it can be asserted that there is a medium-strength correlation between the weight of the litter of piglets at birth and their weight at weaning.
