Modernisation of the sugar industry in Indonesia, particularly at the off-farm level, has been slow, with most sugar factories still using old factory machinery. However, this can be improved through the use of technology to build a sustainable sugar industry. Technological advances in the...

Human capital development is considered as the major source of knowledge and skills in the innovation process. Despite this, there is evidence of absence of technical and managerial knowledge among emerging sugarcane farmers who are beneficiaries of the South Africa’s land reform program,...

ERM-AE200 is a set of three ethanol materials certified for the deuterium (D) distribution (deuterium-tohydrogen (D/H) amount of substance ratios and the relative deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio), produced within the scope of ISO 17034 accreditation [1] and ISO Guide 35:2017 [2]. The certified...

Land Grabbing, die Industrialisierung der Landwirtschaft und damit einhergehende Konflikte um Land nehmen seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre stetig zu. Landarbeiter*innen sind zentrale Akteure in diesem Kontext, finden in der wissenschaftlichen und entwicklungspolitischen Debatte jedoch kaum Beachtung....

Brands seeking to achieve reduced sugar content in their products generally adjust their product line to include products (i) with lower sugar content, which decreases the brand’s relative sugar content, or introduce (ii) smaller package sizes, which lowers its sugar content per package. Such...

The research where executed in 2021, at the Turda Agricultural Development Research Station, using the Vangelis sugar beet cultivar and followed the influence of Terracalco 95 soil amendments on physiological parameters and production at different stages of crop development. The granular soil...

This paper provides a new foundation of soft drink taxation. We abstract from externalities and internalities previously used to justify such taxation and, instead, emphasize that neither explicit nor implicit markets and prices for sugar content can be expected to emerge. Hence, in the absence...

Development of a low-cost anode for sodium (Na) ion battery (NIB) has become the most desirable target in today’s energy demanding society. In this work, we present different treatments of sugarcane biomass to alter the lignocellulose compositions to obtain low-cost porous carbon as NIB’s...

Enzymatic hydrolysis is considered to be a restricted step for lignocellulosic bioethanol production at an industrial scale for its high production costs and low efficiency. In this study, a microreactor loaded with cellulase based on co-deposition of dopamine (DA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI)...

The production of bioetanol and sugar from sugarcane is an important economic activity in several countries. Sugarcane is susceptible to different phytopathogens. Over the last years, the red strip disease caused by the bacterium Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae produced significant losses in...

The main objective of the study was to investigate the impact of microfinance on smallholder resettled sugarcane farmers’ productivity and technical efficiency. The study evaluated the impact of microfinance on technical efficiency of resettled sugarcane smallholders as well as the...

The study assessed the perception of contract farm households about sugarcane outgrowers’ scheme around the Wonji/Shoa sugar factory. The study utilized primary data collected from randomly selected samples of 200 members of sugarcane-producing farmers’ cooperatives through a structured...

Technological developments in the sugar manufacturing sector require that the managers of these manufacturing firms devise strategies and make astute infrastructural choices in order to ensure survival, growth and improve manufacturing performance of the firm. This requires manufacturing firms...

Sugarcane Regulatory Administration (SRA) began to implement Sugarcane Block Farming (SBF) in 2012 to increase farm productivity and sugarcane yield. SBF is the operation consolidation using multi-purpose cooperatives. Since SRA launched SBF 7 years ago, there have been few empirical studies on...

The district of Muzaffarnagar is the highest sugarcane producing district in Uttar Pradesh and therefore is an important industrial district as well. The district is part of Western UP and it shares the problems of the sugar industry elsewhere in the state: unpredictable demands and crop...

Until now, the plantation sub-sector is still faced with the structural issue of a poor plantation data collection system. The data are still collected using a lengthy and stage-by-stage business process, carried out manually, causing an administrative product compilation method that is...

A government clamp-down on sugar would be damaging and unnecessaryGovernment intervention in the market can only be justified if there is a market failure and if government action will make a positive difference. This paper looks at several potential failures in the sugar market. These include...

In March 2016, George Osborne announced a ‘sugar levy’ on soft drink companies to start in April 2018. Under this policy, companies will be taxed on sales of medium and high sugar drinks (excluding fruit juice and milk-based drinks). As an anti-obesity policy, the sugar levy seems arbitrary....

This article analyzes the replacement of Sugarcane by the adequate crop considering the producer's choices according to the dimensions of soil, relief, climate, and precipitation in São Paulo state, Brazil. The panorama is the hypothetical end of the combustion engine in the Euro 7 emissions...

This study investigates the sudden disappearance of foot-binding, a costly custom practiced for centuries in China and Taiwan prior to its demise. We estimate the numbers of women who unbound their feet in response to the rapid growth of the sugarcane cultivation in Taiwan in the early 20th...

Sugary drinks taxes have been implemented around the world and governments around the world are considering extending these taxes to address concerns about rising obesity. We demonstrate the range of impacts a tax on added sugar and salt could have on purchases of food at home and out of the...
