This document analyzes the resource area of a proposed new oilseeds crushing plant in central Ukraine. It forecasts crop production and processing capacity in the region from 2015-2020. Total sown area is projected to increase 3.4% due to underutilized arable land. Sunflower acreage is expected to grow 30% to meet demand, while wheat and barley may decline. Soybean and sunflower yields could rise 25-30% through improved seeds and techniques. The analysis also accounts for competing processing facilities within 150km, estimating they may supply over 3 million tons of sunflower and 450 thousand tons of soybeans annually to the local market.
This document provides a summary of the June 2012 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report from the USDA. Some key points:
1) U.S. wheat supplies are projected to decrease for the 2012/13 season due to reduced carryover stocks and winter wheat production. Global wheat supplies are also expected to decrease due to reduced production prospects in major exporting countries.
2) U.S. coarse grain supplies are largely unchanged for 2012/13 as adjustments to 2011/12 balance sheets offset. Global coarse grain supplies are projected to increase due to higher beginning stocks and corn production.
3) U.S. rice supplies are projected tighter for 2012/13 due to a reduction in 2011/

- US soybean production for 2012/13 is projected to decrease 155 million bushels due
This document discusses the role of mineral fertilizers in transforming agriculture in Indonesia. It provides statistics on Indonesia's agriculture sector and fertilizer consumption trends. It then examines issues with fertilizer demand, market structure, supply, and pricing. Key problems identified are lack of farmer knowledge on proper fertilizer use, lack of monitoring leading to subsidy issues, market distortion from dual pricing, and unstable gas supply for production. Policy options proposed include improving infrastructure, databases, and extension services while gradually reducing subsidies.

Global sugar production is forecast to reach a record 185 million tons in MY 2017/18, up 13 million tons from the previous year. This record production is driven by large increases in Brazil, India, the EU, and China and will support record global consumption of 174 million tons and exports of 62 million tons. China has implemented a safeguard measure limiting sugar imports, causing China to drop from the largest sugar importer to the second largest behind Indonesia.
This study analyzed trends in maize research investment in Ethiopia by the national government and CIMMYT between 1997-2014. It found that the total capital budget allocated to maize research by the national government increased at a 27% compound annual growth rate. Regression analysis showed that the average budget during 2002-2006 was over 2.5 million birr greater than during 1997-2001. It also found that CIMMYT awarded EIAR 18 grants totaling 70.328 million birr between 2008-2014. Finally, it reported that the most widely adopted maize variety in 2009/10 was BH660 hybrid.
MORE good news this month for feed raw material consumers’ costs: The world supply outlook for maize seems to be getting looser by the month, pushing prices down to yet more historical (33-month) lows as we go to press. Not only has the US crop turned out even bigger than expected in our last review; the second largest consumer of maize, China, now appears to be using considerably less than estimated earlier. Top outlet for maize, the USA might also need less than expected as we move into 2014 after proposals to roll back targets for renewable fuel use.
This document provides a summary of the July 2009 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report from the USDA. It outlines revisions made this month to global supply and demand forecasts for various agricultural commodities, including increases in projections for US wheat and corn production. Global coarse grain production was also raised, while rice production estimates were lowered. Forecasts for oilseed and soybean production were increased. Price projections for hogs, eggs, and several crops were lowered on expectations of higher supplies.
This document summarizes the growth in area and production of plantation and horticulture crops in India from 2012-13 to 2016-17:
- Horticulture production in India surpassed food grain production in 2016-17, reaching 300.54 million tonnes from an area of 24.85 million hectares.
- Fruit production grew at an average rate of 2.9% annually during this period, reaching 92.92 million tonnes in 2016-17. Vegetable production grew at 3.6% annually, reaching 178.17 million tonnes.
- The highest growth in area was seen in flower crops (11.4% annually), followed by fruits (2.8%) and vegetables (2
- India has the 10th largest amount of arable land in the world and produces many agricultural goods. It is the largest producer of many crops and second largest for others.
- Agricultural production has been increasing, with record production of food grains in 2017-18. Fruit and vegetable production is also rising steadily.
- There are two major seasons for agriculture in India - Kharif from April to September and Rabi from October to March. Production of staple crops like rice and wheat has been increasing.
- Agricultural exports from India have also been growing with the country among the top 15 exporters globally.
This document provides a summary of the September 2012 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report from the USDA. Some key points:
- U.S. wheat and coarse grain production estimates are lowered slightly, while rice production is increased. Global wheat and coarse grain supplies are also lowered.
- U.S. soybean production and supplies are forecast lower, while livestock production estimates are mixed - beef up but pork and poultry down.
- Many global crop production forecasts are adjusted, including decreases for Russia, EU, and increases for China and Philippines for rice. Global oilseed production is also lowered.
IT has been a mostly bearish period since our last review – thanks to some new record crop and stocks estimates for wheat and soyabeans and the chill economic wind blowing from China. The latter especially has unsettled global market sentiment, casting a shadow over the forward outlook for commodity demand – especially in the feed and bio-fuel sectors (depressing crude oil prices to new lows). It also seems to have outweighed, for now at least, the likelihood that US and CIS – possibly also South American maize supply has been over-rated – although, even if it is, there is probably still more than enough of the leading feed grain to meet all perceived demand, as discussed in more detail below. The overall impact of these events as we go to press has been to push prices to new five-year lows for US and EU wheat, 6½- year lows for soyabeans and to dampen ideas of a sustained recovery in the feed grain sector (maize prices have at least managed to stay above last September’s five-year lows but for how long?)
Record global harvests in 2013/14 have pushed down prices for cereals like maize and wheat. However, uncertainty in Ukraine has led to temporary price rises for these crops. While prices have been high and volatile since 2008, it now seems the markets may be reaching a new equilibrium as major drivers of change stabilize. Production responses to high prices, especially in developing countries, have accelerated world supply. If stability continues, proposals for radical market interventions may not be needed.
20170131 enhancing the fav seedling business models in ethiopia final reportNtalemu
This document provides a final report on enhancing fruit and vegetable seedling business models in Ethiopia. It finds that while Ethiopia has great potential for horticulture, the FAV sector remains underdeveloped due to inefficient input markets. Currently, most smallholder farmers raise seedlings from recycled open-pollinated seeds, and quality is poor. Some flower farms have begun vegetable seed and seedling production to supply commercial and smallholder farmers. In 2016, modern propagators produced over 71 million seedlings, less than 2% of estimated national demand. The report evaluates current business models, proposes three new models to improve access and quality, and identifies areas for government and partners to intervene to strengthen the market system, such as supporting satellite

Vivek Kumar founded Green Industry in 2009 to help farmers in underdeveloped areas utilize their land year-round through scientific farming methods. The company would partner with farmers, investing in infrastructure and production. Farmers would receive wages, education for their children, and a share of profits. This would increase yields, incomes, and reduce seasonal unemployment and poverty in the region.
The document summarizes several key agricultural problems facing India:
- India has low crop yields for many commodities compared to other countries despite being a large producer, due to factors like reliance on rainfed agriculture and lack of infrastructure.
- The country's agricultural sector is heavily dependent on monsoons, leading to volatility in growth.
- India has a low share of global agricultural export markets compared to its production levels.
- Many Indian farmers face debt, financial distress, and some have even resorted to suicide due to issues like small land holdings and lack of income stability.
- Reforms are needed to boost productivity, support small farmers, and modernize agricultural practices.
The document summarizes a business plan for an agricultural company called Green Industry. The company aims to work with farmers in underdeveloped areas to utilize their land more fully through the year and increase production. Green Industry will invest in infrastructure, provide farming expertise, and share profits with participating farmers. This will improve incomes and livelihoods while producing food in a sustainable way.

The agriculture sector is the dominant sector of the Indian economy, providing livelihood for about 65% of the population. Some key points about Indian agriculture:
- It has grown significantly since the Green Revolution but faces challenges of small landholdings, inadequate irrigation, depleted soils, and lack of storage and financing.
- Government policies aim to achieve over 4% annual growth through private sector participation, insurance, market access, and infrastructure development.
- The sector faces population pressure, resulting in small fragmented landholdings, as well as problems of irrigation, soil depletion, storage, and farm equipment.
- Recent developments include increased government expenditure on agriculture and a target of Rs. 575,000 crore

The document discusses the growth of agro-based industries in Bangladesh. It notes that demand for high-value agricultural products is increasing, creating opportunities for industries that process foods like fruits, vegetables, and seafood. Agro-based industries are important as they can raise incomes in rural areas, diversify the economy, and generate export revenue. While the sector has grown, challenges remain such as small landholdings, seasonal production, and lack of infrastructure. The government is working to promote the industry through policies and incentives.
India imports 40% of its edible oil needs due to insufficient domestic production. While edible oil consumption is growing with population and income growth, oilseed output and vegetable oil production have not kept pace, necessitating imports. Three main oilseeds - groundnuts, soybeans, and mustard - account for over 80% of oilseed production but yields are low at less than 1 ton per hectare. By 2015, India's edible oil demand is projected to reach 21.3 million tonnes while domestic supply will only meet around 60% of demand, resulting in imports satisfying about 40% of consumption needs.
This document provides an overview and projections of the US and global supply and demand for various agricultural commodities for the 2012/13 season. Key points include:
- US wheat production is projected to increase 12% from the previous year's weather-reduced crop. Global wheat supplies are projected to decrease 2% and stocks are expected to remain high.
- US feed grain supplies are projected at a record high due to increased corn production. Global coarse grain supplies are also projected to increase 6% to a new record level.
- US rice supplies are projected to decrease 6% and ending stocks are forecast to decrease 21%, resulting in higher rice prices. Global rice trade is also expected to increase slightly.

Margins are influenced by prices, quality, and proximity to markets.
This document provides an overview of wheat production, trade, and processing. It discusses key parameters for wheat production, including optimal growing conditions. World wheat production has increased due to improved yields, though further growth faces constraints. Climate change may impact production patterns. Major producers see varying yields. Wheat is used for human consumption, animal feed, and biofuels. Global wheat trade involves importers, exporters, contracts, and freight costs. Milling converts wheat to flour, with costs varying by region. International wheat flour trade flows are also discussed.
The document discusses corn production in the Philippines. It notes that corn yields are low on average compared to other major corn producing countries. While yellow corn areas have seen higher yields due to new varieties, white corn yields have grown slowly. Low adoption of technologies, high losses, and transportation and marketing costs have kept domestic corn production costs above import prices. As a result, corn areas and production have declined in recent decades. The corn sector now faces further challenges from trade liberalization commitments. The goal of the Ginintuang Masaganang Ani for Corn program is to increase productivity and incomes through improved technologies, marketing, and partnerships between government and the private sector.

The document summarizes a study on Ghana's early generation seed (EGS) system. It finds that Ghana's formal EGS system only meets a small fraction (1-6%) of national seed requirements, with the informal system supplying the vast majority (80-99%). Key challenges include delays in seed policies and guidelines, limited private sector involvement, weak quality control, low technical capacity, and lack of demand forecasting. Addressing these issues is needed to develop a more commercial and sustainable EGS model in Ghana.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Example of resource zone analysis of the new oilseeds crushing plant in central part of ukraine
1. Example of analysis of resource area of the New Oilseeds Crushing
Plant in central part of Ukraine
Basic assumptions
1. Construction of new crushing plant will take no less than 18 months (means 2018 as
starting point)
2. Daily crushing capacity assumed at no less than 2000 mt of sunflower seeds per wd level
(means abt 585 ths MT per year taking into consideration 325 wd per year and 90% of
capacity loading) or 1100 mt of soybeans per wd (means abt 322 ths MT per year and
90% of capacity loading)
Methodology
We consider the territory that lies within the circle with a radius of 150 km around the
city of Kirovograd as the resource area.
To evaluate accessibility of "remainder to purchase" the calculation of predictive
marketability of selected crops has been made for the resource area of interest. Under the
term “marketability” we mean the volume of production that could potentially be (or has been)
offered on the market in the area, excluding the volume of products that is claimed (or will be
claimed) by competing structures.
Calculation of marketability for a particular resource area was made without dividing
agricultural producers into categories (enterprises, people). The share of supply of certain
products in the resource area was estimated according to the data at the district level.
To forecast selected agricultural commodity production the assessment was made for the
period from 2015 to 2020. In the prototype of the forecast the possibility of a strong impact of
force majeure factors and risks (climatic, socio-economic, political conditions, etc.) has been
excluded. That could significantly affect the production figures in the context of a specific
period. As a guideline for the variation of performance indicators of selected crops current
trends and forecasts for the development of the global and domestic agricultural market were
employed.
The main projected indices in the model were the following: sown area in total and
yields of basic crops.
The cultivated land in the resource area
Total sown area. The current stage of development of crop production in the region in
the medium-term prospect does not imply significant changes that could fundamentally affect
the use of land resources. At the same time, a further increase in demand for crop production
will lead to the increase in sown areas at the expense of arable land which was previously
withdrawn from rotation. Taking into account the current reserves of unused arable land,
average annual increase in sown areas will not exceed 0.6% per year.
In the period 2015-2020 the total sown area will increase by 148 thousand ha, or by
3,4% compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
Wheat. Wheat will remain a key grain crop for the given area. However, in the medium-
term prospect its sowing land will be reduced, taking into account the demand for sunflower in
the region. Moreover, the reduction pace of the acreage of wheat in the resource area will be
higher than in the rest of Ukraine on average.
2. In the period 2015-2020 the total land in wheat will increase by 108 thousand ha, or by
13%, compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
Barley. Barley, as well as wheat, is one of the traditional crops of the region. Factors of
growing demand for fodder barley in the domestic market, stirred by a significant export
demand and having stimulated production growth in 2006-2009, in the medium-term prospect
will not have such a strong influence. We expect the sown land in barley in the region to have a
steady downward trend at the level of 2% per year (CAGR).
In the period 2018-2020 the total sown land in barley will decrease by 135 thousand ha,
or by 21%, compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
The rate of decline could be higher, but for the necessity for this crop in crop rotation.
Corn. In recent years corn has become one of the most popular and profitable crops, both
in the domestic and global market. Despite the fact that this region is not the most favorable
for the cultivation of this crop, the land in corn in the years 2010-14 grew by an average of 15%
annually (CAGR).
In the medium-term prospect we expect a slight decrease at the level of 1.5% annually.
The reasons are as follows: corn is a resource-consuming crop, and in the medium-term
prospect agricultural producers cannot hope for cheaper financing, world market prices also do
not show an upward trend. All these factors will lead to a gradual drop in interest of the
producers as for this crop.
Despite the bearish forecast the average crop area for the period 2015-2020 will
increase by 50 thousand. ha, or 6%, compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
Sunflower. In the medium-term prospect the growing demand for oilseeds and derived
products will remain the main stimulus for the further expansion of the acreage of sunflower.
The main reasons are the return of withdrawn arable land to agricultural use and reduction of
the areas under grain crops. Taking into account a high concentration of fat and oil companies
in the region, the growth rate of the sunflower acreage is likely to amount to about 4.5%
annually.
Furthermore, the fact that Kirovohrad oblast, which occupies a third of the resource area,
is one of the main regions where sunflower is cultivated in Ukraine, with developed methods of
cultivation and technological equipment, will have its effect.
In the period 2015-2020 the total sown land in sunflower will increase by 306 thousand
ha, or 30%, compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
It should be noted that most experts agree that the real official production volumes of
sunflower seeds are significantly higher than those of official statistics. The main reasons for
data discrepancies are connected with the accounting methods of agricultural activities of
households, not to mention the lack of objectively declared data on volumes of production,
mainly by small agricultural enterprises and farms.
Due to stable high profitability of sunflower, violations in terms of efficient crop rotation
are the most common. In order to conceal this fact, many companies understate the
production figures, which they hand to official statistical bodies. As a result, in 2014/2015 MY
the objective understated amount of sunflower production ranged from 0.5 to 0.8 million tons
according to various estimates.
3. In our calculations we have not considered the volume of direct illegal land use. However,
this factor has been used indirectly in the grounds for the estimation of prospective crop yields.
In more detail this question is discussed in the corresponding part.
Rapeseeds. During the period 2003-2008, expansion of the acreage of rape was
accounted for by virtually limitless consumer demand on the foreign market. In recent years
the demand for this crop on the world market, especially in the EU, the main buyer of Ukrainian
rape, has decreased significantly, and in the future will remain relatively low. Owing to these
conditions, we expect a gradual decrease in the acreage of rape at the level of 6% per annum
from the current level.
In the period 2015-2020 the total land in rape will decrease by 27 thousand ha, or 20%,
compared to the average value of 2010-2014.
Soybeans. Soybeans at this stage are one of the most promising crops, excessive demand
for which is generated by both the internal and external markets. Considering the predicted
high demand for soybean, we expect that in the period 2015-2020 the pace of expansion of
soybean acreage will stay at 9% annually.
In the period 2015-2020. the total land in soybean will increase by 154 thousand ha, or
57%, compared to the average value of 2010-2015.
The crop yield of oilseeds in the resource area
Sunflower. 150-km resource area around the city of Kirovograd is located in the so-called
"sunflower belt"; it encompasses Kirovohrad and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, the regions with
average production of about 1 million tonnes each in the years 2010-14.
At the same time, we would like to point out that the average yield in these areas lags
behind that of other regions. So, the peak of the average yield in the period 2010-14 in
Kirovograd oblast was at 2,4 tons/ha, in Dnipropetrovsk oblast – 2,3 tons/ha. At the same time,
for example, in Poltava and Kharkiv oblasts the index was 2,9 tons/ha, and in Cherkasy oblast-
3,1 tons/ha.
This situation indicates unrealized potential and opportunities for increasing the yield of
sunflower in the resource area. Increase in the value of this indicator can be achieved by using
more productive hybrids for sowing, as well as improved agricultural technologies.
At the same time, it should be mentioned that in the next two years the financial and
economic situation in Ukraine is unlikely to change dramatically towards improvement. So
agriciltural producers will have to deal with limited financial resources and save. Undoubtedly,
it will affect both the quality of the seed and agro-technologies used. Therefore, in this period
we forecast yield reduction to 5% with subsequent growth in the range of 5-8% annually until
2020.
As it has been previously mentioned, the real indicator of the yield of sunflower may be
somewhat overstated due to the concealment of shadow schemes of use of agricultural land. In
particular, in order to document the origin of sunflower seeds, some enterprises calculate the
yield on the basis of reported sown area. The actual gross yield is counted using the areas
which include concealed acreage. As a result, the actual yield is considerably higher. Quite often
this approach is used by small enterprises and farms.
Taking into account the above-mentioned factors, as well as the analysis of long-term
productivity, the growth of sunflower yield can amount to about 6% or 2,11 tons/ha
compared to the average five-year index (2010-2014).
4. Yield of sunflower by regions of Ukraine
Gross harvest of sunflower by regions of Ukraine
Soybeans. The key factor in increasing the yield of soybean in 2010-14, as well as in the
forecasted period is annually increasing volumes of genetically-modified seeds used. It is the
seed, which in the short-term prospect will be the main driving force of yield growth of this
popular crop. In case the state tries to implement strict control on the use of genetically-
modified plants, the rapid progress of the productivity growth characteristic of recent years
5. may be terminated. However, given the peculiarities of Ukraine, this factor will not have much
impact.
The increase in soybean yield may amount to 25%, or 2,3 tons/ha compared to the
average five-year volume (2010-2014), while CAGR will be 6% (4% in 2010-14).

The principles of determining stock-taking sales in view of influence of competitors
So that we could adequately determine the influence of competitors on the trade stock of
Kirovograd resource area, we have considered their location according to the degree of their
geographical remoteness from the region.
150-km resource area with the center in the city of Kirovohrad
150-km resource area with the center in the city of Kirovograd
7. For these purposes, let us assume that each of the companies of competitors has its own
resource area, which is equivalent of ours in size. Next, we considered the percentage of entries
of the above-mentioned resource areas into Kirovograd area. In total, the number of
enterprises-competitors, which meet the condition of intersection of resource areas, equals 36
in the case of sunflower seeds and 17 – in the case of soybeans. Then using the aforesaid
coefficient of entry, we can calculate which of their processing capacities could potentially be
provided in Kirovograd area.

In the case of sunflower, these figures exceed the production potential of the 150-km
Kirovograd resource area. At the same time, the cumulative effect from the growth of sown
areas together with the growth of productivity will be noticeable by 2020.
Probable shortage of sunflower can strengthen the processes of consolidation in the
industry, resulting in the fact that small and medium-size processing plants may cease their
activities, which will improve access to raw materials for large processors.
At the same time, intensive growth of soybean production in the region, its market
demand and a relatively small number of large processors on the market create conditions for
the launch of new processing facilities.
In case soybean processing capacity stays at the current level, the surplus of the resource area
can exceed 300 thousand tons by 2020.
Main recommendations are the following - the New Oilseeds Crushing Plant should be multi –
seeds and mostly oriented on soybeans crushing.
