Total Quality Management adaptation to this country harnesses a human resource intervention in motivating the organization’s employees in working as a team thus, determining and providing solutions to the quality systems problems. This study aims to assess how the company’s quality...

The Indian Rubber Plantation sector dominated by smallholdings, accounts for almost 87% of the production. The preponderance of the small and marginal growers makes the sector vulnerable to fluctuations in price. Also they experience difficulty in gaining access to technology and information. In...

In this paper, we report the extension of the life of rubber materials that are subject to large deformations. Unlike conventional robots, soft robots, which have been attracting increased attention in recent years, often undergo large deformations of the robot itself; thus, the lifespan of these...

Suppliers of agricultural output incur switching costs (SCs) when choosing new buyers, allowing buyers to exercise oligopsonistic market power, as SCs help buyers to mark down prices for incumbent suppliers. This article conceptualizes the idea of SCs and suggests an empirical strategy for...

Die Dynamik im Handel ist untrennbar von dem Einfluss der Politik, der Preise und der Rolle der Händler selbst. Obwohl sich die Handelspolitik exportierenden und importierenden Länder unterscheiden kann, im Allgemeinen wird der inländische Handelssektor unterstützt, was problematisch für...

Este documento es un informe final (primer borrador) de la consultoría denominada “Análisis de la Cadena Química-Plástico” que integra un conjunto de consultorías sobre otros sectores a través de las cuales la ONUDI conjuntamente con la CEPAL y la Oficina del Coordinador Residente...

This study examines whether the decision of crop diversification for perennial crops is based on risk attitudes and time preferences. We conducted incentivised field experiments with farmers only cultivating rubber and those cultivating rubber and oil palm. We utilised Holt and Laury task and...

This paper aims to solve the location and routing problem (LRP) in the agricultural sector with the objective function of fuel cost minimization. Many farmers may have problems when transporting and selling products because of high costs and unfair prices. The proper location of standardized...

Production of natural rubber plays a most important role in the economic development of Tripura. The state is the second-largest contributor to the total production of natural rubber in India. Over the last two decades, there is a shift in cropping pattern towards the production of natural...

In den letzten Jahrzehnten unterlagen tropische Landschaften einem drastischen Wandel der Landnutzung. Die Transformation der natürlichen Vegetation, hin zu landwirtschaftlichen Produktionssystemen bedeutet negative Auswirkungen auf Ökosystemfunktionen, erhöht aber das Potenzial für...

China has successfully created value and wealth, by integrating its industrial and technological development with Global Value Chains through deployment of economic zones. This paper looks at Hainan Special Economic Zone (‘HSEZ'), which was established as the largest special economic zone in...

Being the second-largest natural rubber producing state in India, in the northeastern Indian state of Tripura, there exists a great potential for the development of manufacturing activities related to rubber at Tripura. As of now, the industry is in the initial stage and is struggling. To...

Social networks can serve as an instrument to link agents with each other over space and time. The emerging pattern can display the flow of information, the diffusion of technology or the trade flow of products between all kinds of agents. Networks are very flexible constructs, which are defined...

The demand of the rubber woods and rubber latex certified by FSC is increasing in the international market day by day. However, in Thailand, a limited number of rubber farms are following the standards of FSC in rubber plantation. Moreover, majority of the rubber farmers still do not recognize...

Specialization in agricultural systems leads to trade-offs between economic gains and ecosystem functions. Economic gains can be maximized when production activities are specialized at increasingly broader scales (from the household to the village, region or above), particularly when markets for...

This article compares the use of risk-increasing and risk-reducing production inputs with the experimentally measured risk attitudes of farmers. For this purpose, the Just-Pope production function indicates production inputs’ influence on output risk and a Holt-Laury lottery is used to measure...

The rapid expansion of the oil palm area in many tropical countries has raised concerns about its negative impact on local communities, food security, and on the environment. While the expansion of oil palm in early stages was mainly driven by large private and public companies, it is expected...

This study examines whether the decision of crop diversification for perennial crops is based on underlying risk attitudes and time preferences. We conducted incentivised field experiments on Sumatra Island, Indonesia, involving farmers who cultivate rubber and farmers who cultivated rubber and...

This article analyzes the link between world prices and producer prices of rubber in Côte d'Ivoire. Using monthly data from 2006 to 2016, we gave special attention to structural breaks in the data and asymmetry in the transmission process. Empirical results validate the presence of two breaks...

The study was taken up in Baripada and Kaptipada blocks of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha where the Rubber Board in association with the Government of Odisha have implemented Rubber Block Plantation Projects for the socio-economically marginalized scheduled tribes. Primary data was collected from...

The present study was taken up in Mayurbhanj district in Odisha where the Rubber Board, in association with the Government of Odisha, has implemented Rubber Block Plantation Projects for the socio-economically marginalized scheduled tribes. The study found that the average annual household...

Abstract: This study examines whether the decision of crop diversification for perennial crops is based on underlying risk attitudes and time preferences. We conducted incentivised field experiments on Sumatra Island, Indonesia, involving farmers who cultivate rubber and farmers who cultivated...

In contrast to the trend of a generally increasing liberalization of markets, agriculture remains one of the most protected sectors. In globally distributed production networks the effects of sector specific policies may spill over to other sectors and other countries. While the effects of these...
