Strategies to link smallholder farmers to markets in ZimbabweGcazo14
The document analyzes strategies for linking smallholder pig farmers in Goromonzi district, Zimbabwe to formal markets. It finds that there are three main pig value chains, with various players and constraints faced. Smallholder farmers lack access to inputs, credit, markets and information. The strategies identified for linking farmers to markets include developing producer organizations, strengthening market relations, improving access to credit and training facilities, and contract farming arrangements. The conclusion recommends further research on integrating new players in pig value chains and promoting coordination between actors.
The document discusses agriculture marketing and the Progressive Farmers' Multipurpose Cooperative Society (PFC) as a model cooperative in India. It outlines problems in the current agriculture marketing system such as improper warehousing and the presence of many middlemen. The PFC was established in 2006 in Haryana to address exploitation by traders and connect farmers directly to consumers. The PFC provides members increased bargaining power, credit access, and affordable inputs and services like storage, seed development, and retail outlets while eliminating middlemen.
Hemas Holdings PLC presented its Q2 FY 2018-2019 investor presentation, which provided an overview of the company's portfolio, market positions, and financial performance for the first half of the fiscal year. Key points included:
- Hemas has leading market positions across various consumer and healthcare sectors in Sri Lanka and is expanding internationally.
- For the first half of FY 2018-2019, the company achieved strong revenue growth of 16.1% but lower profit growth of 2.3% due to challenges in the domestic market.
- In Q2, all sectors grew revenue except two, but earnings growth was flat due to currency depreciation impacting pharma margins, underperformance in
This document summarizes Kenya's agriculture sector and challenges facing small-scale farmers in gaining market access. It notes that agriculture contributes significantly to Kenya's GDP and employment. Small-scale farmers comprise 80% of farmers but face issues like low production levels, fragmented land, and limited access to credit, markets, technology, and services. The ministry promotes farmer groups/cooperatives to help address these challenges by improving market access, bargaining power for prices, and eligibility for loans and services. Benefits of such groups include collective marketing, quality assurance needed for export, and potential for value addition activities. Regional trade blocs also provide export opportunities for Kenya's competitive agricultural products.
Hemas is a diversified conglomerate with interests in consumer goods, healthcare, transportation, and leisure. For the nine months ending December 31, 2015:
- Revenue grew 19.7% to LKR 28 billion, with strong performance from consumer and healthcare sectors. Operating profit increased 25.8% and earnings grew 65.2%.
- The consumer sector achieved 24.4% revenue growth driven by Bangladesh operations and domestic brand growth. Healthcare revenue grew 18.3% from increased pharmaceutical sales and hospital demand.
- Transportation revenue increased 15.2% from logistics and maritime businesses, while aviation faced challenges from lower ticket yields. The presentation outlines Hemas' portfolio and growth strategies across sectors.
From Seed Policy to Practice: Perspectives from Malawifutureagricultures
The document discusses Malawi's seed policy and how its implementation has diverged from the intended goals due to political and economic factors. It outlines Malawi's seed policy framework and goals of ensuring access to quality seed. However, the seed industry has become dominated by multinational companies, focused on hybrid maize, and marginalizes local seed companies and farmers. The implementation of input subsidy programs influenced the seed industry's development by privileging interests of donors, companies and officials over serving smallholder farmers. Contextual factors like incentives, politics and interests have largely shaped seed sector outcomes in Malawi contrary to policy objectives.

Securing more income for the marginalized in Tanzania through dairy market hubsILRI
Leah Mwilaki runs a business in Tanzania linking about 1000 smallholder dairy farmers to markets. Through her business, farmers can access inputs like commercial feed and drugs on credit, with their milk deliveries as collateral (check-off system). Currently Leah buys milk from farmers at TSh 550/liter and sells it in Morogoro town at TSh 1000/liter. The MoreMilk project aims to improve incomes for marginalized communities through developing dairy market hubs like Leah's business that improve access to inputs and markets. The project works in 30 villages, facilitating the development of business linkages and providing training. Early results show an increase in the number of farmers organized in groups and engagement in market connections
Farmers Producer Organizations (FPOs) were launched in 2011-12 by the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation to collectivize small and marginal farmers. The goal was to mobilize about 2.5 lakh farmers into 250 FPOs across India. FPOs provide various services to members like input supply, procurement, packaging, marketing, insurance, and technical support to improve productivity and market access. Challenges in establishing FPOs include raising capital, mobilizing farmers, and gaining technical knowledge of relevant acts and regulations. Two examples provided are of an FPO in Tumkur district marketing unripe bananas for 24 farmers, and an FPO in Chitradurga district marketing
This document discusses the processed food industry in India. It covers key areas like industry segments, existing structure, major players, government policies, processing techniques, and research and development. The processed food sector has grown significantly in recent years due to availability of raw materials and relaxed policies. While food processing in India is still lower than other countries, there is huge potential for growth given the wide variety of agricultural products and large consumer base. The industry is expected to continue expanding rapidly, benefiting consumers, producers and the overall economy.
Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) dominate the Philippine business sector particularly in the rural areas. The Philippine government adapted the One Town, One Product (OTOP) program as a job generation and poverty reduction strategy by promoting the creation and growth MSMEs. The study reveals that after six years of implementing the program, it has generated positive results in terms of investments, sales, enterprises assisted and jobs generated. Despite certain limitations and misgivings in its implementation, the study concludes that the program was successful in upgrading rural enterprises and linking them with the mainstream market. Conversely, the entrepreneurs deem the OTOP-Philippines very useful and they are satisfied with the kind of support that their businesses are receiving through the program. Some observations and recommendations for reforms were put forward to make the program more relevant and effective.
Problem of agricultural marketing in indiaSouvik Roy
The passage discusses the modern farm laws introduced by the Modi government in India to address issues with the existing Agricultural Produce Market Regulation Acts (APMC Acts). The new laws allow farmers to sell their produce outside of state-regulated mandis without taxes and fees, giving farmers more market access and options to get a fair price. This reduces the pressure on farmers by providing a more competitive market outside of the inefficiencies of the APMC system, including interference by middlemen and increasing corruption.
The document provides an investor presentation for HEMAS HOLDINGS PLC for the first half of 2013/14. Some key points:
- The Sri Lankan economy grew 6.8% in the second quarter of 2013 with inflation at 6.7% and interest rates on a decreasing trend.
- HEMAS group revenue grew 15% to Rs. 14.9 billion in 1H 2013/14 led by healthcare, FMCG and transportation. Group earnings grew 36% to Rs. 984 million.
- Healthcare sector revenue grew 29% while profits were impacted by startup losses of a new hospital. FMCG sector grew 27% led by brands like Clogard and Velvet. Le

This document discusses the role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in promoting science, technology, and innovation for food security and sustainable agriculture in Africa. It outlines that SMEs face many constraints, including lack of political support, low productivity, cheap imports, an unfavorable policy environment, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to finance. However, SMEs can play a key role if governments provide a supportive policy environment, promote collaboration between SMEs and research institutions, support partnerships between SMEs and large firms, and increase financial and technical assistance to SMEs.

This document summarizes a presentation about a project called the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) project. The EADD project aims to transform the lives of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa by doubling their household dairy incomes over 10 years. It has mobilized over 160,000 farmers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda into cooperative groups. Through these groups, farmers have gained access to markets, inputs, and technical assistance. As a result, farmer incomes have increased by 150-754% depending on the country. The project establishes "Dairy Hubs" which are centers that connect farmers to buyers, inputs, financial services and more in a way that creates a virtuous cycle for all.
The document discusses establishing a dairy industry in Bangladesh through a feasibility report. It finds that the dairy industry sector offers opportunities to earn an excellent income with low operating expenses and pleasing profits. The national milk production can only meet 13% of demand, so there is potential to expand production. The report examines the proposed dairy's financial projections, marketing strategies, operations, and human resources over multiple years. It concludes the project is financially feasible and could be profitable.

The document discusses Ghana's cocoa sector, which is managed by the Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) through a centralized marketing system. It summarizes how the sector was developed and nationalized after independence, then declined due to mismanagement and overvaluation of currency. Reforms in the 1980s corporatized COCOBOD and increased producer prices. The system now stabilizes production and prices through quality control, regulated buying companies, and COCOBOD services, though there is debate around full liberalization. Cocoa remains an important economic and political issue in Ghana.

CTO Insights: Steering a High-Stakes Database MigrationScyllaDB
In migrating a massive, business-critical database, the Chief Technology Officer's (CTO) perspective is crucial. This endeavor requires meticulous planning, risk assessment, and a structured approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum data integrity during the transition. The CTO's role involves overseeing technical strategies, evaluating the impact on operations, ensuring data security, and coordinating with relevant teams to execute a seamless migration while mitigating potential risks. The focus is on maintaining continuity, optimising performance, and safeguarding the business's essential data throughout the migration process
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines
QA or the Highway - Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend appl...zjhamm304
These are the slides for the presentation, "Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend applications" that was presented at QA or the Highway 2024 in Columbus, OH by Zachary Hamm.
This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
