“…It should be noted that there is an investment gap in agriculture in many developing countries, which contributes to this vulnerability (ZHAN;. Agriculture in many African countries depends on irrigation, with water supplied through open channels built over many centuries, in which due to limited knowledge of these distribution channels, water management practices are difficult (KIMARO et al, 2019).…”

Environmental degradation and agriculture: an approach in countries by middle of indexes

Society evolution is commonly followed by changes; however, some of them bring negative implications for the community. One of these consequences refers to environmental degradation, which has agricultural activity as one of its influencing agents, which is essentially characterized by man’s predatory actions. Accordingly, this research analyzed the environmental degradation in 167 pattern in the agricultural world. Therefore, the Agricultural Environmental Degradation Index (IDAA) was used as a proxy for agricultural environmental degradation and the factor analysis technique. Results indicated that the most degraded country was Russia, which belongs to the European continent; however, the other positions were occupied predominantly by Africa, followed by North America and Oceania. Issues such as rural poverty and primitive natural settings can leverage this phenomenon. The lowest rates of degradation were concentrated on Central America and Europe, where agricultural activity was most incipient. In this sense, a directly proportional relationship between environmental degradation and agricultural practice was reported considering that countries dependent on this phenomenon had the most worrying results. Thereby, there is an emerging need for public policies that integrate economic and environmental dimensions that reduce negative impacts in the regions most degraded.

“…Foreign investment may differ in their upgrading potential, based on the type of investment (greenfield, joint venture or acquisitions) and drivers of investment decisions (market‐, resource‐, efficiency‐ or strategic asset‐seeking) (Farole & Winkler, 2014; Zhan et al 2015). FDI objectives – including strategies towards investment, interest in subsidiary development, and links with productivity, skills and so on – also affect upgrading (Cantwell & Mudambi, 2011; Kano et al 2020).…”

In many developing countries, the apparel industry is seen as a ‘stepping stone’ towards industrialisation. Countries rely on foreign investment to enter the garment sector by engaging in simple assembly production and aim to gradually upgrade along the value chain by building their networks and capabilities. By comparing case studies in Africa and Asia, this article shows that foreign investors contribute differently to upgrading and creating linkages. The study reviews the historical experiences of Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lesotho and Madagascar to understand the roles played by various types of foreign investors in contributing to upgrading. The model of production of these investors and their embeddedness in the host countries’ markets shape their contribution towards upgrading. This has important policy implications, suggesting that government policies aiming to develop the garment sector beyond the assembly stage need to correctly identify and attract the investors that are most likely to be or become ‘embedded’. The case studies also highlight the importance of creating a domestic class of entrepreneurs that can actively contribute to the development of the garment industry.

“…In particular, the study of investment support of the agricultural sector as a complex dynamic system whose purpose is to promote the progressive development both of agriculture and the economic complex as a whole by seeking to attract, distribute and invest funds, material and human resources from different sources, taking into account the cumulative impact of macro-factors. and microenvironment to achieve promising socio-economic goals, are described in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. They outline the main problematic issues of attracting and using investments in the agricultural sector, in particular, identify the factors that create destabilizing impacts on these processes, set strategic priorities to imply comprehensive implementation of measures to improve the efficiency of investment activities in the agricultural sector.…”

The article is devoted to the problem of estimating the investment potential of the agricultural sector of the economy. The approaches of scientists for the solution of the given task are analyzed. An approach to the estimation of investment potential through block complex valuation technology is proposed. The database is divided into several groups of indicators by their content characteristics. A partial integral index is calculated for each group. The method of normalization of the raw data and the method of convolution of the indicators depend on the nature of the raw data. The resulting metric is calculated as a convolution of partial integral metrics. Practical testing of the proposed approach was carried out for the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy. The results of calculations of the integral index are analyzed in dynamics. The results obtained can be used in the development of programs to attract investment in the agricultural sector of the economy.
