This article presents the findings of evaluating the level of ICT (information and communication technology) advancement in the agricultural production of the Russian Federation. The primary goal of this paper is to identify priority areas for intensifying agriculture using information and communication technologies for the ICT advancement in agricultural production. The study is based on application of theoretical and general scientific research methods, as well as comparative analysis of statistical data reflecting the development of information and communication technologies in rural areas of the Russian Federation. Analysis of the current state of informatization of the agricultural industry in the Russian Federation allows to draw a conclusion that information systems enabling automatization of the processes to ensure national food security in state authorities have been established in the country by now. At the same time, the information resources required by agricultural producers are rather scattered and poorly systematized. Evaluation of the ICT utilization in agricultural production of the Russian Federation reveals that the state of the information infrastructure and the advancement of information technologies among rural population are much inferior to similar indicators in urban areas. A positive trend should be noted: ICTs are increasingly spreading in rural areas, and differences between the city and the countryside are fading. The author agrees with the opinion of experts who claim that the task of information technologies is to maximize automation of all stages of the production cycle to reduce losses, increase business productivity and optimize resource management. In the author's opinion, two key areas of the agricultural production intensification with the use of information technologies can be identified: creation of a unified information base on resources for agricultural producers and introduction of the Internet of things (IoT), and digitalization of agricultural production in the Russian Federation.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important cultural plant of the Fabaceae family, rich in nutrients and consumed almost everywhere in the world. Turkey has not been self-sufficient in recent years in the production of chickpeas. The chickpea's producers prices were unstable. As a research field, Kütahya was chosen as one of the most important crops in terms of chickpea cultivation area and production in Turkey. There are more technical aspects of chickpea production in Turkey. The aims of this study were to examine socio-economic structures of chickpea producing farms in Kütahya province, and to analyse input usage and to determine problems related to production. The sample size was determined by stratified sampling method and was calculated as 85 chickpea farmers. The face-to-face survey method was used for obtained data from farmers. The study determined the usage of seed, fertilizers and pesticides and calculated the labour and machine power per hectare. The most important problems in the investigated area were the increase in input prices and anthracnose disease.

The study reveals the commercial activities related to international situation for tomatoes, during 2009-2011. It aims to highlight the level of imports and exports value worldwide in general and the situation by continents (Africa, Asia, the two Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania). Based on the indicators mentioned above (determined by multiplying the physical volume of imports and exports respectively with average selling prices), was established international commercial exchanges balance for tomatoes. There are highlighted specific situations of continental units as well as two particular cases - Romania and the European Union - having regard to the realities of our country reporting at regional and continental levels. In terms of world imports and structure stands out: the preponderance of Europe in the quantities imported - 57.61 %, shares quite low for Africa and Oceania - 0.62 % and 0.08 %, the rest of the continental units not exceeding 30.0 % (respectively 26.42 % and 15.27 % America and Asia); imports accounted for about 4 % of total world production of tomatoes (average 2009-2011); The European Union is a leading brands worldwide, surpassing the situation of most continents - 43,76 % (17,06 % of total production); Romania constitutes a "normal" operator, achieving 0.75 % of total worldwide imports. When analyzing the export situation can be observed the following: Europe remains, as in the case of imports, the main player on the market (39.13 %), but the situation is balanced in favor of Asia 28.12 %, while for America - 25.88 % the situation is similar (as a percentage) with the existing imports (same observation applies to Oceania - 0.08 %); Africa manages to significantly increase the share in the exports (6.79%) for imports compared to the situation; the world's total exports is about 4.5 % of the total tomato production; European Union held 37.0% of total world exports of tomatoes amount representing approximately 12 % of their production; Romania achieved 0.02% of world exports of tomatoes and the indicator has an upward trend for analyzed period, something beneficial - especially given that oscillating evolves of imports (approximately 1.81 % of the national total production - negative aspect);

The study relates to the situation of international trade activities related to wheat for 2009-2011. It starts with the presentation of the current situation in the continents (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania), then create an overview of global imports and exports and specifying Romania's role in the market. Regarding the import situation, the main importer is represented by Asia, followed by Africa and Europe - 35.89, 26.18 and 23.28% respectively (in terms of quantity). Quantities of imported wheat ranged uniformly worldwide, which is due to situations in Asia and Europe (sinuous trend of decline and strictly downward evolution) - on the one hand, and trends from Africa, Oceania and the Americas (the first two strictly ascending last ascending-uniformly). Romania is not a major player, in terms of imports, the global market share accounting for 0.44 and 0.35% respectively of the quantities imported values - even less beneficial. Changes in indicators was one uneven - both quantitative and ascending - at value level during the period. When referring to the situation of exports in terms of quantity, the main actors are represented by Europe and Americas. They have dominated the world market, achieving 47.21 and 37.68% respectively of world export quantity. Oceania ranks third with a share of 11.03%, while Asia and Africa have very low weights (4.0 and 0.08% respectively). Quantities exported globally evolved unevenly (as in the African continent), the rest have been descending Europe and ascending Asia, Oceania and Americas. As for imports, and exports Romania is not a major player in the global market (average weights of 1.45 and 1.23% respectively for quantities exported values) - favorable situation.

Among the most discussed issues related to world trade trends in the economic literature belongs to intra-industry trade (IIT). It can be explained as the simultaneous flows of imports and exports of commodities within the same industry group. The paper analyzes the agricultural and food trade of Moldova from different aspects of intra industry trade. The aim is to estimate the trend and extent of intra-industry trade in agricultural and food products of Moldova. The time series from 2001-2015 are examined. The level of intra-industry trade in agricultural and food products for Moldova is quite high (78%). The results of the intra-industrial trade level indicate to a decrease with EU countries and increase in relation with CIS countries. For most commodity groups the GL values present average high variability over time, fact which reflects the structural changes in Moldavian agri-food trade. The values of A indices in both examined periods are very low, fact which indicates that most of changes in trade flows had been inter-industrial by nature and probably have generated high adjustment costs. The switching results of marginal intra-industry trade B index indicate that Moldova’s position on these markets considerably improved and strengthened.

Organic farming is a holistic production management system that enhances agro ecosystem health in terms of biodiversity, the natural cycle of nutrients and microbial and biological activity of soil. Organic farming systems can help to maintain and even improve water quality by reducing the amount of chemicals used in agriculture. In organic farming, chemical fertilizers and pesticides which have chemical compounds are prohibited. The main objective of this study was to investigate and analyse the problems for the development of organic farming and offering effective solutions for its development in West Azerbaijan province in Iran. The population of this research consisted of (N=1171) Farmers who produce organic products in West Azerbaijan province. By using Cochran formula the sample size determined (n=150). This research was carried out using the descriptive-survey research method. The data were collected by questionnaire and processed using factor analysis SPSS21 software. The results showed that the majority of surveyed respondents were older than 50 years, 68 % literate, 47 % of high school, 78% have used of wells and rivers for irrigation. Then the examined items were classified in the form of government support, economy, education and social welfare. The results showed that the factor of government support solutions with eigenvalues of 4.68 was selected as the most important factor from an agricultural perspective. In fact, this factor has explained 25.82 % of the problems of development of organic farming that the sum of these four factors is equal to 65.535 %. According to results in this research the following recommendations have been made: (i)enhancing and establishing the extension-education courses in the field of organic agriculture for farmers and encourage them to participate in these classes; (ii) by using training courses and mass media encouraging farmers to cultivation organic products and;(iii)government support for organic farmers work and for their products insurance; (iv)create and develop local markets for organic products and economic analysis and identification of global markets for export of organic products; (v)create places for the storage of organic products; (vi) provide adequate means of transportation equipped with cold storage facility for organic products and also providing useful information on the management and control of weeds, pests and diseases of agricultural products.
