“…The study was conducted in Haryana, a state in North India, which is a significant region for agribusiness, including value-added food production, organic farming, dairy farming, poultry farming, aquaculture, floriculture, horticulture, beekeeping, and more. Despite the state's success in helping emerging nations, this study serves as a reminder that there is always room for improvement and growth in the agribusiness sector (Garima et al, 2023).…”

India’s economy is based on agriculture, so agricultural entrepreneurship has the potential to boost economic growth, diversify national income, and create many jobs and business opportunities. The goal of this paper, then, is to find out what first-generation agricultural entrepreneurs think about the things that make an agribusiness successful. The data were collected from 22 districts in four geographical zones (East Zone, West Zone, North Zone, and South Zone) in the state of Haryana. Both a 5-point Likert scale and a 7-point semantic differential scale were used to rate the items. The data was looked at using both descriptive statistics and the Friedman nonparametric test. In this study, we found that the majority of first-generation agribusiness owners were men, and they tended to be sole proprietors of small businesses with fewer than 10 employees. The finding also indicates that advanced storage and transportation facilities, market information, product quality, cutting-edge technology, and the careful management of financial resources are the topmost necessities for the successful operation of any agribusiness. The study also found that the size of the firm has a positive and statistically significant impact on the opinions of first-generation agripreneurs on business and production, marketing, competition, and financial and human resource management. The study recommends that policymakers and development agencies should focus on providing support to agripreneurs in terms of infrastructure, market access, and technological advancements. Additionally, efforts should be made to encourage more first-generation agripreneurs to enter the agribusiness sector by providing them with the necessary resources and training.

Circular Mining Wastes Management for Sustainable Production of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mining operations have a significant negative impact on the surrounding ecosystems. The operation of mines and quarries creates a large amount of waste that accumulate and are practically unrecyclable in the environment. The involvement of these wastes in economic activity is an extremely urgent task. This can make the economy more sustainable and reduce its influence on ecosystems. This work presents the attempts of using quarry wastes as a fertilizer applied for growing tea crops. The novelty of this research involves revealing the quarry wastes as a fertilizer when growing Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze and assessing changes in the productivity of this plant when applying these calcium wastes. The waste of a quarry intended for extracting crushed stone was studied in this article. The composition of the waste was analyzed. Fertilizers used for manuring the soil were prepared based on the waste. Two experimental sites were selected. One of them was a control, where Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze was grown without using fertilizers. Fertilizers obtained from the waste were applied on the second site. The experimental work proceeded for 10 years. When discussing the results, special attention was paid to climatic conditions. This was caused by the need to show that it was the use of the fertilizer that influenced the change in the yield, not the climatic conditions. As a result of using calcium fertilizers based on the waste, the productivity of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze was increased. The application of the fertilizers based on the quarry wastes was shown to provide an increase in the yield. The possibility of using calcium fertilizers to overcome unfavorable agroclimatic conditions during the tea cultivation was also demonstrated. To assess the climatic impact of applying new fertilizers, three-dimensional modeling in the “gnuplot v.5.4” software was used. As a result, an increase in the average annual precipitation, from 1000 to 1980 mm/year, in the range of the average annual air temperature, from 14 to 16 °C, was found to lead to an increase (when using a new fertilizer) in the yield of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze up to 4.8 times (from 20 to 95 centner/ha). The results have shown that applying fertilizers based on the quarry wastes is also possible in unfavorable climatic conditions.

Collective efforts are recommended in order to ensure that dairy workers have equal employment opportunity and a comparable wage structure. The government should provide support in terms of technology upgrade and services infrastructure. There is high level of participation among women in indoor activities such as feeding animals, providing water, cleaning sheds, milking, and processing milk products. Nevertheless, their participation in outdoor activities, including fodder cutting and marketing milk and milk products, is low since mobility is restricted, technical skill is limited, patriarchal, social, cultural, and religious constraints are present. There was a wide variation in the participation of men and women in dairy activities based on household categories (apart from landholding sizes). Family members across the households had difficulty communicating with one another. Among participants in the study, there was a weak correlation between their participation in the study and the improvement of their livelihoods.
