This document provides an overview of Indonesia's agricultural sector development from 1961 to 2001 and beyond. It analyzes growth in output, inputs, and total factor productivity during different periods. The Old Order era from 1961-1965 saw a focus on machinery expansion that did not lead to steady growth. The New Order era from 1966-1998 brought government intervention and 5-year plans that supported steady input and output increases. The reform era saw a drop in inputs and productivity during the financial crisis of 1999-2001 but efforts to stabilize the economy and support farmers. Productivity reached record highs after 2003.

This document summarizes the key aspects of food traceability from compliance to opportunity. Traceability has become a regulatory requirement in both the EU and US to identify unsafe food and enable recalls. It allows food to be tracked from farm to fork through all stages of production, processing, and distribution. While traceability ensures compliance, it can also provide brand protection and market access opportunities when customers demand transparency in supply chains. Technologies continue to advance traceability capabilities from paper-based systems to electronic tracking using barcodes, RFID, and analytical techniques. Effective traceability gives organizations supply chain visibility to communicate their practices and story to consumers.
This document discusses key differences between generic and cold chain supply quality management systems. A Middle Eastern cold chain is more expensive due to temperature extremes and immature regulations. Qualification and validation are often misunderstood, with qualification establishing a process can meet standards through testing, while validation tests a process under controlled conditions. For manufacturing, processes can be validated, but distribution is variable so can only be qualified. Extending quality oversight beyond manufacturing, understanding regulators, having product knowledge, and documenting every cold chain link are critical for quality assurance. Tools like CCQI, HACCP, and inventory management systems can help optimize quality strategies for specific cold chain challenges.
This document proposes strengthening regulations for the recycling of waste cooking oils (WCO) generated by restaurants and food factories in Hong Kong. It suggests introducing licenses for WCO collection, disposal, and import/export. Operators without licenses would face fines or imprisonment. It also proposes that restaurants and food factories be required to hand over their WCO only to licensed collectors and keep transaction records. The Environmental Protection Department will implement a voluntary registration system for WCO operators and develop best practices to facilitate proper handling and recycling of WCO.
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare revised the Drinking Water Quality Standards in 2003.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
