Productivity Dynamics in India’s Food Processing Industry: A TFP Analysis | Chapter 02 | Food Science and Agriculture: Research Highlights Vol. 5

 

The Indian food processing industry, despite its substantial contribution to value addition, employment generation, and international trade, remains at a nascent stage, processing only about 10 per cent of the total agricultural output. The juxtaposition of strong growth indicators with persistent structural constraints presents a question of whether the expansion of Indian FPI has been propelled primarily by input expansion or by genuine efficiency and productivity improvements. To address this, the present study attempted to assess the Total Factor Productivity of the Indian food processing industry by employing the data collected from the Annual Survey of Industries for its various sub-sectors from 2008-09 to 2019-20. The widely used technological framework of the Cobb-Douglas production function was utilised to analyse the data. The major stake of Indian FPI was held by grain processing units that accounted for more than half of the total registered units, followed by the “others” category, which constitutes seed and nut processing units along with the units involved in the preparation of sambar powder, papads, appalam, etc, and the oil sub-sector. The results revealed that India’s organised food processing sector continued to be dominated by traditional sectors, with blooming non-traditional sectors. Analysis of output elasticities revealed that most of the sub-sectors were largely driven by capital expansion, and further, results on TFP growth unveiled a heterogeneity pattern of productivity gains, with macaroni processing units registering the highest productivity improvement. The dairy sub-sector showed negative TFP growth and, coupled with decreasing returns to scale, indicated efficiency gaps, while the meat and bakery sub-sectors with positive TFP growth and increasing returns to scale exhibited untapped scale potential. This mixed productivity pattern highlighted the need for targeted policy interventions focused on technological diffusion, strengthening supply chain efficiency, skill development, and sustainability rather than merely on augmenting production. Although this study analyses productivity in the organised food processing sector, future work could examine the unorganised segment, which offers considerable scope for rural employment and income diversification. Further exploration on policy impact, supply-chain constraints, technology adoption and resource use efficiency can provide deeper insights into the sector-wide productivity.

Physico-Chemical Properties of Incessantly Cultivated Rice-Fallow and Uncultivated Soils of Nalbari District, Assam, India | Chapter 4 | Food Science and Agriculture: Research Highlights Vol. 3

 

Rice is the major cereal crop of Assam. Continuous cultivation of crops with improper management practices in the long term deteriorates the soil’s physical and chemical properties and declines crop yield. This study aimed to assess the changes in physical and chemical properties of soils due to long-term continuous cultivation of rice under a rice–fallow system and that was compared with adjacent uncultivated soils of Nalbari district of Assam. A total of 120 soil samples, 60 from cultivated rice-fallow and 60 from uncultivated soils, were collected covering 23 villages. Soil physical properties (bulk density; BD, water holding capacity; WHC, and moisture content; MC) and chemical properties (pH, electrical conductivity; EC, organic carbon; OC, available N, available P, available K, exchangeable Ca, exchangeable Mg, available S, available Zn and available B) analyzed were evaluated using descriptive statistics. SPSS software (version 16.0) was used to analyse all the collected data. The results indicated that the soils under cultivation with rice-fallow were significantly (P<0.05) higher in BD (1.40 Mg m-3) and lower in WHC (41.34%) than the adjacent uncultivated soils (BD=1.34 Mg m-3 & WHC=42.26%). Findings also showed that soil’s chemical properties were significantly (P<0.05) lower in cultivated rice-fallow soils than the uncultivated soils (pH=5.51 and 5.93, OC=0.63 and 0.89%, available N=245.56 and 418.37 kg ha-1, available P= 31.27 and 42.62 kg ha-1, available K=120.98 and 145.90 kg ha-1, exchangeable Ca=5.35 and 5.93 C mol (p+) kg-1, available S=53.42 and 61.14 kg ha-1, available Zn=0.31 and 0.39 mg kg-1 and available B=0.41 and 0.48 mg kg-1) respectively. Continuous cultivation of crops without adopting proper management practices leads to a decline in soil physical and chemical properties. To sustain soil health and crop productivity, it is crucial to adopt proper soil management strategies such as the balanced use of fertilizers based on soil test values, incorporation of organic manure, and inclusion of legumes in the cropping sequence.

Superior Heat Resilient Features for Physiological, Biochemical, Behavioral, Molecular, Neuroendocrine and Epigenetic Adaptation in Tharparkar Cattle | Chapter 9 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 4

In the context of changing climate conditions, heat stress has emerged as a significant challenge for the dairy industry. Ensuring an appropriate microclimate in animal housing characterised by adequate air circulation, optimal temperature, humidity control, low pollution levels, and minimal gas concentrations has become a primary concern. These elements are crucial for the proper development and maintenance of cow comfort, which in turn supports food security based on livestock. The draft is prepared by considering the changing environmental conditions and the consequent adaptive features of the Tharparkar cattle. According to the Global Climate Risk Index of 2019, India ranks fifth, with extreme heat posing potentially lethal consequences of climate change. Dairy cattle experience heat stress when the temperature-humidity index (THI) exceeds 72. The threshold for heat tolerance varies based on genotype and production levels, with animals at higher production levels being more susceptible to heat stress. Crossbred cattle, such as Karan Fries, exhibit greater metabolic heat production, methane emission, energy loss, and physiological responses compared to zebu cattle. The lower metabolic rate of zebu breeds suggests a superior adaptability to tropical climate regarding heat and methane production. Tharparkar demonstrates superior heat stress tolerance and thermoregulatory responses for providing thermotolerance against heat stress, facilitated by the expression of a highly conserved family of proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSPs). However, despite these thermoregulatory mechanisms, the productivity of zebu cattle, particularly Tharparkar, is significantly hindered in comparison to other indigenous and crossbred cattle.

Soil-Specific Efficacy of Mechanised Rice Planting and Weeding Equipment: A Multi-Terrain Evaluation | Chapter 3 | Current Research Progress in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

Labour availability is one of the factors deciding the timely completion of sowing or transplanting at peak seasons of delta areas in rice cultivation. Mechanisation supports the timely completion of operations and supports maintaining productivity with less cost of cultivation. Machinery performance especially depends on the soil type and crop ecosystem. With this background, the experiment was conducted with the objectives to assess the performance of current rice transplanter models and power weeder models, in different soil conditions and reduce cultivation costs while improving rice production and profitability. A strip plot design was used, with major three soil types as the main plot treatments, existing rice transplanter five models as the sub-plot treatments, and current power weeder three models as the sub-sub-plot treatments. Among the growth and yield parameters, the 6-row walking type transplanter combined with a cono weeder showed superior performance, recording higher tillers and productive tillers (16.28 and 20.65 per hill), filled grains (113 and 145 per panicle), and seed yields (5922 and 5733 kg ha^-1) in sandy clay loam and sandy loam soils, respectively. This combination also achieved higher net returns (Rs. 70,195 ha^-1 and Rs. 55,343 ha^-1) and benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) of 2.62 and 2.28. Additionally, it resulted in an extra grain yield of 1769 kg ha^-1 and 1873 kg ha^-1, with an additional net profit of Rs. 37,027 ha^-1 and Rs. 34,813 ha^-1 for sandy clay loam and sandy loam soils, respectively. In clay loam soil, the riding type 8-row transplanter combined with a single-row power weeder produced higher productive tillers (15.25 per hill), filled grains (122 per panicle), and seed yields (5506 kg ha^-1), along with a higher net return of Rs. 58,175 ha^-1 and a BCR of 2.32. This combination also resulted in an additional grain yield of 1121 kg.ha^-1, leading to an extra net profit of Rs. 24,618 ha^-1 and a corresponding net income increase compared to traditional farming practices. In conclusion, using the 6-row riding type transplanter and cono weeder, along with appropriate agronomic practices, is the key to achieving higher yields, net returns, and BCR in sandy clay loam and sandy loam soils. Similarly, the 8-row riding transplanter combined with a single-row power weeder is essential for higher yield performance and profitability in clay loam soil.

Transition of Diesel LHD to Battery LHD for Minimising Operational Cost and Improving Environmental Conditions in Underground Metal Mines | Chapter 10 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 3

As mining operations extend deeper underground, maintaining operational efficiency becomes increasingly crucial due to longer transit times, elevated stresses, heightened seismic activity, increased energy consumption, greater ventilation demands, and extended transport distances—all of which contribute to rising operating costs. In underground mines, haulage vehicles are routinely employed to move ore from subterranean loading stations to the surface. It's occasionally possible for descending empty cars to stop in a passing lane and wait for moving, heavier vehicles to pass. This is how traffic moves downhill. The number and placement of passing bays affect the haulage productivity of a mine. The operational expenses of the battery LHD and the diesel LHD have been contrasted in terms of gases released, diesel costs, and charging costs. According to our data, using a rechargeable LHD can cut operational costs by 90%. In conclusion, without drastically altering production, switching to battery power is possible. The operation of the diesel and battery LHDs is comparable.

Computer Modelling of Supply Chain Management and Marketing Efficiency of Onion | Chapter 6 | New Advances in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 3

Poor efficiency in the marketing channels and inadequate marketing infrastructure is believed to be the cause of not only high and fluctuating product prices but also too little of the consumer rupee realized by the farmer. To find out the supply chain management at the producer level, a total of 120 sample respondents were selected for this study, which included 60 farmers and 60 intermediaries were selected using a random sampling procedure during the year 2022-23. The results of the analysis of indices of marketing efficiency in the six marketing channels prevailing in three different markets are presented in Table 8 in the Tiruchi and Dindigul districts of Tamil Nadu. It could be inferred that the index of marketing efficiency was highest for Channel II of all three markets (Dindigul, Tiruchi), because of direct purchase of onion by retailers from commission agents. The market efficiency was found to be lowest in Channel I of the Tiruchi market with an index of 2.39 for small onion. A systematic package of practices in onion production will greatly improve productivity and enable the growers to reap maximum benefits.

The friendly aspect of the sustainability of palm lubricate has received comparably less emphasis as compared accompanying the economic and environmental facets. Oil palm production, exceptionally large-scale estates, has frequently happened associated with negative friendly impacts on rural communities, inborn people, and estate laborers. The contracting of undocumented labor and children exposes ruling class to exploitation and violates human rights. By 2045, Indonesia hopes to produce 60 heap tons of crude palm lubricate (CPO) annually. Approach the or inaction for money production and ask for the device This ongoing increase has the potential to diminish the environment. Programmes for increasing estate palm oil result managed by marketing companies, government instrumentalities, and smallholders have the ability to bridge the gap 'tween the value of growing production and the need to protect the surroundings. Intensification has taken place outside adding new room for the befriended plant [1]. Palm oil plantation utilising superior sources for rejuvenation is the starting point of the intensification programme [2]. It is recommended that source appropriate palm oil accompanying Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8211:2023, which grant permission be used as a reference, surrender into account when transporting an intensification programme for plantation touch oil in Indonesia. In addition, the entire venture of the plantation must be authorized in accordance with the standard national support tactics set forth in Regulation President Number 44 of 2020 regarding the confirmation system for tenable oil palm plantations in Indonesia (ISPO) [3,4]. Lack of protocol and documentation on the hiring in oil palm plantations, specifically those involving native and indigenous groups are frequently associated with labor and civil rights issues. SNI 8211: 2023 sets up conditions for superior palm oil source production, extreme- quality sprouts, technical bundle terms, environments for palm oil source cultivation, technique cross-happening, and full trade. Third stage of intensification of the national touch using SNI, where at the starting point in year setting 2014-2015 there was an improvement in result oil palm from an average of 4 tons/ha/old age to 6 tons/ha/year, at stages second in 2018-2019 can increase production or inaction for money to 9 tons/ha/year, and at stages third in 2023-2024 breeders are auspicious that production action can produce 12 tons/ha/year in the garden experiment. System increase of planting palm lubricate is the right way to increase result because it can increase production of touch oil outside planting area growth. Characteristic features of the plantation touch oil arrangement were intensive through the selection of superior seeds, management of correct land, equalized fertilization, good watering, eradication of pests/affliction, harvesting, and transform post-harvest. Plantation palm oil can administer technology available crest for run agriculture exhaustive for producing more ok quality.
