At the outset, it is important for me to describe myself as a layperson in this gathering. My background is in art. I have no formal education in science or agriculture. But I am here with a point of view completely opposed to biotechnology in general and to its place within agriculture in particular. I say this out of my own experience. I left teaching art in the early 1970’s, having been deep...

Patchouli oil is one of the export commodities with high economic value that attracts attention in raw material business. To be marketed domestically as well internationally, patchouli must meet Indonesian National Standard (SNI). Various processing techniques have been developed by researchers but only a few requirements SNI. In this study, leaves were processed using an energy-saving distille...

Parameters, such as oil, protein, glucosinolates, chlorophyll content and fatty acid composition, were determined using reference methods for both harvest survey samples and Canadian Canola exports. Canola harvest survey and export data were assessed to evaluate if canola harvest survey data can be extrapolated to predict the quality of the Canadian canola exports. There were some differences i...

abstract: the object of this study is to extract the oil from millets and evaluate the chemical properties of the extracted oil. commercial millet oil was obtained by cold solvent extraction adopting soxhlet procedure. quantitative and qualitative tests concerned with the non-saponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, phosphorus content representing total phospholipids, refractive index, pero...

The trend of increasing exports Indonesian swallow's nests and the high market potential shown by increased consumption requires Indonesia as one main producers to be able seize existing opportunities. This study aims determine export performance swiftlet in destination countries. method used this research is Constant Market Share. secondary data time series collected from 2011 2020. Based on S...

Few attempts have been proposed in order to describe the statistical features and historical evolution of the export bipartite matrix countries/products. An important standpoint is the introduction of a products network, namely a hierarchical forest of products that models the formation and the evolution of commodities. In the present article, we propose a simple dynamical model where countries...

This paper investigates variance risk premia in energy commodities, particularly crude oil and natural gas, using a robust model-independent approach. Over a period of 11 years, we find that the average variance risk premia are significantly negative for both energy commodities. However, it is difficult to explain the level and variation in energy variance risk premia with systematic or commodi...

This paper studies the development possibilities of the energy systems of four Central Asia and Caspian countries. It explores options that improve their domestic energy efficiencies and increase their export of fossil energy commodities. Using the MARKAL-TIMES modelling tool, it represents their energy system with a bottom-up partial economic equilibrium growth model. With the help of scenario...
