In Boyacá, the agro-industrial sector is composed of a high percentage of micro companies located mainly in the central region where the majority of economic activities occur. These agro-industrial activities are centered on dairy processing and the processing of fruits destined for local, regional and in some cases national markets. The micro companies that were used as the study object are situated in the Industrial Corridor, and are characterized by 50 to 200 million active workers and volumes of variable production, with limited and heterogeneous levels of commercial capacity, technological development, organizational culture, financial and market management. The sector suffers from outdated technology and the slow adoption of development strategy resulting in disinvestment, job losses and limited economic diversity. This paper analyzes the agro-industrial system of the department of Boyacá through the methodology of the UNIDO, which includes a description, analysis and interpretation of its current nature and composition, and likewise, through benchmarking and with diagnostic tools designed and validated, characterize the systems within agro-industrial micro companies. An assessment of the competitive state of the micro companies in their different components (administrative, technical/ productive, financial, etc.) was procured. The results obtained allowed for the determination of unemployment levels and the ability to contrast them with the best business practices in each of the systems analyzed and with other micro companies through an individual, and later a sectorial diagnostic. The paper proposes strategies that micro companies of low performance levels can use to leverage their administrative and productive structures. With the results obtained, an integration model for agro-industrial companies that allows them to increase their level of competitiveness was designed. En el departamento de Boyacá (Colombia), el sector agroindustrial está conformado, en alto porcentaje, por microempresas localizadas principalmente en la zona central, donde se desarrollan la mayoría de actividades económicas, de las cuáles las agroindustriales se concentran en el procesamiento de lácteos y transformación de frutas, productos destinados a mercados locales, regionales y en algunos casos nacionales. Las microempresas objeto de estudio están asentadas en el Corredor Industrial, se caracterizan por poseer activos desde 50 hasta 200 millones, trabajadores y volúmenes de producción variable, con escaso y heterogéneos niveles de capacidad empresarial, desarrollo tecnológico, cultura organizacional, gestión financiera y de mercados. El sector posee rezago tecnológico y lenta adopción de estrategia de desarrollo generando desinversión, pérdida de empleos y escasa dinámica económica. Este trabajo analiza, según la metodología de la ONUDI, el sistema agroindustrial del departamento, que comprende la descripción, análisis e interpretación de la naturaleza actual y su composición, igualmente mediante el benchmarking, y con instrumentos de diagnóstico diseñados y convalidados, se caracterizan los sistemas al interior de las microempresas agroindustriales. Se obtiene un diagnóstico del estado competitivo de las microempresas en sus diferentes componentes (administrativo, técnico /productivo, financiero etc.). Los resultados obtenidos permiten determinar los niveles de desempeño y contrastarlo con la mejor práctica empresarial en cada uno de los sistemas analizados y frente a otras microempresas, a través de un diagnóstico individual y posteriormente sectorial. Se proponen estrategias para que las microempresas de bajos desempeños logren nivelar sus estructuras administrativa y productiva. Con los resultados obtenidos se diseña un modelo de integración para las microempresas agroindustriales que permite aumentar los niveles de competitividad. No município de Boyacá (Colômbia), o setor agroindustrial está formado, em grande parte, por microempresas localizadas principalmente na zona central, de onde se desenvolvem a maioria das atividades econômicas, das quais as atividades agroindustriais se concentram no processamento de produtos lácteos e na transformação de frutas, produtos destinados a mercados locais, regionais e em alguns casos nacionais. As microempresas que foram objeto do estudo estão localizadas no corredor industrial, caracterizam-se por possuir ativos na faixa de 50 a 200 milhões; trabalhadores e volumes de produção variáveis, com escasso e heterogêneo nível de capacidade empresarial, desenvolvimento tecnológico, cultura organizacional, gestão financeira e de mercados. O setor possui um notável atraso tecnológico e uma adoção lenta de estratégias de desenvolvimento não gerando investimentos, causando perda de empregos, e uma escassez de dinâmica econômica. Esta pesquisa analisa, segundo a metodologia da ONUDI, o sistema agroindustrial do município, que foi citado, analise e interpretação da natureza atual e sua composição, igualmente em comparação ao benchmarketing, e com instrumentos de diagnósticos desenhados e convalidados, são caracterizados os sistemas no interior das microempresas agroindustriais. Obteve–se um diagnostico do estado competitivo das microempresas, nos mais diferentes setores (administrativo, técnico/produtivo, financeiro, etc.). Os resultados obtidos permitem determinar os níveis de desempenho e contrasta-los com a melhor pratica empresarial em cada um dos sistemas analisados e frente a outras microempresas, através de um diagnostico individual e posteriormente setorial. Propõem-se estratégias para que as microempresas de baixo desempenho busquem nivelar suas estruturas administrativas e produtivas. Com os resultados obtidos desenhou-se um modelo de integração para as microempresas agroindustriais que permite aumentar os níveis de competitividade.

Mestrado em Contabilidade, Fiscalidade e Finanças Empresariais Esta dissertação analisa a evolução do comércio intra-sectorial total e por tipos (comércio intra-sectorial horizontal e vertical) na indústria agro-alimentar do Brasi, Rússia, Índia e China (os chamados BRIC). É feita, também, a caracterização dos quatro países em termos do seu peso nas exportações e importações de produtos agro-alimentares. A metodologia usada utiliza o índice de Comércio intra-sectoriasl de Grubel e Lloyd (1975) e o método de Abd-El-Rahaman (1971) e de Greenaway, Hine e Milner (1994) para separar o comércio intra-sectorial horizontal do comércio intra-sectorial vertical. Os resultados sugerem que na generalidade dos BRIC predomina o comércio intra-sectorial vertical em relação ao comércio intra-sectorial horizontal e que a China ocupa o primeiro lugar no ranking dos quatro BRIC em termos de comércio intra-sectorial neste tipo de produtos. This dissertation analysis the evolution of intra.industry trade (IIT) total and by types (horizontal IIT and vertical IIT) in the agro-industry of Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRIC countries). it is also made the characterization of the BRIC countries in termes of their weight in exports and imports of agro-industry products. The methodology followed in the analysis applied the Grubel and Lloyd (1975) intra-industry trade index and the method of Abd-El-Rahaman (1971) and Greenaway, Hine and Milner (1994) to separate horizontal IIT from vertical IIT. The results suggest that in the BRIC countries predominates the vertical IIT and China is the first in the ranking in terms of IIT.

In this study the rheological behavior in different temperatures (0; 6; 18 e 24 ºC) and physicochemical parameters of integral annona (Annona squamosa) pulp and the annona pulp with milk in different percentages pulp/milk (75g of annona pulp/25g of milk, 50g of annona pulp/50g of milk, 25g of annona pulp/75g of milk) have been availed, in order to verify the effect of temperature and pulp concentration in the rheological behavior of these beverages. To obtain the rheological parameters a concentric cylinder rheometer has been used and the rheograms were analyzed using the Ostwald-de-Wael (power Law) and Herschel-Bulkley models. The physicochemical parameters (sugars, pH, ash, acidity and soluble solids) were determined in order to establish correlations with the rheological behavior. Finally, the best results had been obtained using the Herschel-Bulkley model; the low values for the behavior index (n

Les agriculteurs en zone irriguée sont confrontés à une pression croissante pour préserver la ressource en eau. Cette situation les amène d'une part, à économiser l'eau en mettant l'accent sur des productions moins consommatrices, d'autre part, à mieux valoriser les quantités utilisées. Plusieurs stratégies sont envisageables comme modifier les choix d'assolement ou adapter les modes de conduite des cultures. Ces stratégies peuvent avoir des conséquences importantes sur l'organisation des filières aval, notamment à l'échelle de bassins d'approvisionnement de l'industrie agro-alimentaire. Cet article propose une analyse des impacts et des conséquences économiques de fortes restrictions d'eau, à l'échelle des filières. Cette analyse a été mise en oeuvre en France sur le cas de la nappe de Beauce, avec la participation des acteurs des filières locales. Elle permet d'analyser les adaptations et les stratégies de chacun face à des baisses de volumes d'eau disponibles. Elle met en évidence les interactions entre les opérateurs d'une même filière et les interactions entre différentes filières.

Com base nos dados de comércio para os 27 países da União Europeia e para os 10 principais parceiros comerciais no resto do mundo, este trabalho analisa a evolução do comércio intra-sectorial total e por tipos (comércio intra-sectorial horizontal e vertical) na indústria agro-alimentar (IAA) Portuguesa para o período 2000-2008. Utilizando uma desagregação a 5 dígitos da CAE, o estudo analisa os 20 principais do comércio bilateral (produtos em que o comércio- exportações mais importações- é mais elevado) sendo os índices ao nível da indústria calculados como média ponderada dos índices ao nível do produto. A análise para a IAA permite-nos concluir que este sector acompanha a evolução do nosso país como país desenvolvido em termos do padrão de comércio dos produtos industriais. Ao longo do período em análise houve um aumento do conteúdo intra-sectorial no comércio dos produtos da IAA e o comércio intra-sectorial é predominantemente do tipo vertical. Os resultados evidenciam, também, que os nossos principais parceiros comerciais em termos de comércio intra-sectorial na IAA são a Espanha (com grande destaque), a Itália, a França e a Bélgica e a Alemanha, coincidindo, em termos gerais, com aqueles que são os nossos principais parceiros comerciais. Na análise para os países extra- Comunitários destaca-se o Canadá. Na análise microeconómica destacam-se a produção de vinhos comuns e licorosos, os produtos cárneos, os lacticínios, mas, também, a produção de azeite, a fabricação de sumos de frutos e de produtos hortícolas e a congelação de produtos de pesca e da aquacultura, principalmente no comércio com a Espanha. Novamente, a Espanha e a Itália são os mercados mais importantes para os produtos referidos. Based on trade data for the 27 European Union countries and the 10 major trading partners around the world, this paper analyzes the evolution of intra-sectoral trade total and by type (intra-sectoral horizontal and vertical) in the Portuguese agri-food industry (IAA) for the period 2000-2008. Using a desegregation of the 5-digit CAE, the study analyzes the 20 major bilateral trade (goods that have trade-exports plus imports is higher) and the indices at the industry level calculated as a weighted average of the indices at the product level . The analysis for the IAA allows us to conclude that the industry follows the evolution of our country as a developed country in terms of the pattern of trade in industrial products. Throughout the period under review there was an increase in the content intra-sectoral trade in products of IAA and intra-sector is predominantly vertical. The results show also that our major trading partners in terms of intra-sectoral is IAA in Spain (with great emphasis), Italy, France and Belgium and Germany, coinciding in general with those our major trading partners. In the analysis to countries outside the Community stands out Canada. In microeconomic analysis include the production of table wines and fortified wines, meat products, dairy products, but also the production of olive oil, the manufacture of fruit and vegetables and frozen fishery products and aquaculture, especially in trade with Spain. Again, Spain and Italy are the most important markets for the products concerned.

The present article analyses the Paraná soybean industry dynamism in the 80’s and 90’s comparing it to the Brazilian mid-west. It discusses whether the soybean crushing industry shifting to the Brazilian midwest, in view of soybean spreading to such region, has brought about the loss of Paraná soybean industry dynamism. Based on information about the soybean production and crushing industry, we came to a different conclusion: Paraná has maintained the soybean dynamism due its increased cultivated area and productivity. In addition, the crushing industry growth and adequacy to the new region production played a complementary role to such region industry Este artigo analisa o dinamismo do complexo agroindustrial da soja no Paraná, nas décadas de oitenta e noventa, comparativamente ao Centro-Oeste brasileiro. Discute-se a tese de que houve “deslocamento” da indústria de esmagamento para o Centro-Oeste, acompanhando a expansão da soja nessa região, fatos que teriam provocado a perda de dinamismo desse complexo no Paraná. Com base em informações sobre a produção de soja e a indústria de esmagamento, chega-se a uma conclusão diferente, verificando-se a manutenção, no Paraná, do dinamismo dessa cultura, haja vista o crescimento da área cultivada e principalmente da produtividade, e também o ajuste de sua indústria de esmagamento, que manteve seu crescimento e articulou-se à produção da nova região, atuando de modo complementar à indústria nela instalada.

Beaucoup d’agriculteurs, comme les opérateurs des filières aval qui transforment leur production, dépendent aujourd’hui des ressources en eau souterraine. Or, dans de nombreuses régions du monde, en climat aride comme tempéré, les nappes souterraines sont surexploitées et les ressources disponibles déclinent. Les agriculteurs sont alors confrontés à une pression croissante pour préserver cette ressource. Cette situation les amène d’une part, à économiser l’eau en mettant l’accent sur des productions moins consommatrices, d’autre part, à mieux valoriser les quantités utilisées. Plusieurs stratégies sont envisageables comme modifier les choix d’assolement ou adapter les modes de conduite des cultures. Ces stratégies peuvent avoir des conséquences importantes sur l’organisation des filières aval. Cette communication propose les bases d’une démarche visant à analyser les conséquences de fortes restrictions d’eau sur l’organisation de filières locales. Elle a été mise en oeuvre en France, sur le cas de la nappe de Beauce, en partenariat avec la profession agricole, les opérateurs des unités de transformation et les représentants de l’Etat. Elle permet d’analyser les adaptations et les stratégies de chacun face à des baisses de volumes d’eau disponibles. Elle met en évidence les interactions entre les opérateurs d’une même filière et les interactions entre différentes filières. Many farmers, and the large set of downstream operators who depend on their farm products, have become dependent on groundwater resources. Although overexploitation of groundwater resources is far from being a universal phenomenon, it can be observed not only in arid areas but also in the areas with a temperate climate. In regions where groundwater resources are declining, farmers have to reduce water consumption by growing crops with lower water requirement, or apply optimal irrigation strategies. The strategies they choose can have major consequences for downstream operators and local agro- industries. This paper presents an approach to analyze the impacts on and consequences of high water restrictions for the subsectors. This approach was implemented in the region of Beauce, in France, in collaboration with farmers, downstream operators and state representatives. Adaptations and strategies to face reduced water availability were analyzed in economic and technical terms for both farmers and downstream operators. Participatory workshops brought together different downstream operators who could become competitors for the same resource and highlighted interactions between operators in the same subsector as well as interactions between different sectors.

The rapid propagation of European fruit-bearing plants in Chile and Cuyo led to the problem of their exploitation, which was a complex issue in the period before the availability of means of refrigeration. The response was to encourage agro-industrial activity. Some fruits were conserved through a process of dehydration and others were used in the making of oils. Some of these products were commercialised on the domestic market and others were exported, especially to Peru. There was also an improved use of the timber from fruit trees in both the construction industry and carpentry and cabinet-making. These activities ensured the economic viability of fruit-growing and made it possible for it to expand in the region under analysis. La rápida propagación de plantas frutales europeas en Chile y Cuyo formuló el problema de su aprovechamiento, asunto complejo antes de la disponibilidad de medios de refrigeración. La respuesta fue el impulso a la actividad agroindustrial. Algunos frutas se conservaban mediante deshidratación, otras se usaban para elaboraban aceites. Algunos de estos productos se comercializaban en el mercado interno y otros se exportaban, particularmente al Perú. Además se avanzó en el aprovechamiento de frutales tanto para construcción como en carpintería y ebanistería. Estas actividades aseguraron la viabilidad económica de la fruticultura e hicieron posible su expansión en la región estudiada.

- Abstract
As organizações de produção agroindustrial têm se transformado em uma das apostas produtivas mais importantes para os países latino-americanos. Este artigo parte de uma pergunta: O Governo colombiano tem desenvolvido ferramentas jurídicas referentes aos fatores produtivos fundamentais (terra e trabalho), com a finalidade de permitir o aumento dos lucros das empresas agroindustriais? Para responder este interrogante se estabelece um marco conceitual onde o conceito fundamental é a concepção relacional do poder. Da mesma forma, se apresenta uma concepção da possessão da terra em Hispano América desde uma perspectiva histórica que culmina na caracterização da agroindústria no país. O marco general da análise é o impacto do conflito colombiano e sua incidência na possessão da terra., Las organizaciones de producción agroindustrial se han convertido en una de las apuestas productivas más importantes para los países latinoamericanos. Este artículo parte de una pregunta: ¿Ha desarrollado el Gobierno colombiano herramientas jurídicas respecto a los factores productivos fundamentales (tierra y trabajo), a fin de permitir el aumento de las ganancias de las empresas agroindustriales? Para responder a este interrogante se establece un marco conceptual, en el cual el concepto fundamental es la concepción relacional del poder. Asimismo, se presenta una concepción de la tenencia de la tierra en Hispanoamérica, desde una perspectiva histórica que culmina en la caracterización de la agroindustria en el país. El marco general del análisis es el impacto del conflicto colombiano y su incidencia en la tenencia de la tierra., Agroindustrial organizations have become one of the most important productive bets for Latin American countries. This article begins with a question: Has the Colombian government developed legal tools regarding fundamental productive factors (land and labor) to enable increased profits for agribusinesses? To answer this question, a conceptual framework is established on the basis of the relational conception of power. Furthermore, a concept of land ownership in Latin America is presented from a historical perspective, culminating in the characterization of agribusiness in the country. The general framework of the analysis is the impact and influence of the Colombian conflict on land ownership.

A brief historical about the occupation of the lands of the Southwest of Paraná was achieved, so that could thus to perceive the entire trajectory of the strong presence Family Agriculture in the region. To understand the process of implantation and add values to the products of an Agro-industry is necessary to verify the recourses that provide family farmers disposable, being thus was achieved an analysis about the Public Politics that incentive small farmers financially such as PRONAF, THE EMATER of Francisco Beltrão, provided information about the Agro-industries in the Southwestern region of Paraná, allowing in this way that was made a social economical analysis, observing the characteristics and the profile these Agro-industry of small port is pointed as an alternative to the reversion of the adverse social consequences in the middle rural areas. Having in the rural area not more just exclusively agricultural activities, but the multi-activity, impulsing directly or indirectly the small agro-industry, generating new post ’ work and income for the farmers, providing their social and economic inclusion. Esta pesquisa aborda a questão da agricultura familiar na região do Sudoeste do Paraná e suas agroindústrias como sendo uma forma de reprodução social e econômica, garantindo a permanência e subsistência dessas famílias no campo. Um breve histórico sobre a ocupação das terras do Sudoeste do Paraná foi realizado, para observar toda a trajetória da presença marcante da agricultura familiar na região. Para que se compreenda o processo de implantação e agregação de valores aos produtos de uma agroindústria é necessário verificar os recursos que os agricultores familiares disponibilizam. Sendo assim, foi realizada uma análise sobre as políticas públicas que incentivam financeiramente os pequenos agricultores, como o Pronaf. A Emater de Francisco Beltrão forneceu dados sobre as agroindústrias da região Sudoeste do Paraná, permitindo assim que se fizesse uma análise socioeconômica, observando as características e o perfil destas agroindústrias e a sua contribuição com o desenvolvimento da mesorregião. A agroindústria rural de pequeno porte é apontada como uma das alternativas para a reversão das conseqüências sociais desfavoráveis no meio rural. Tendo no espaço rural não mais apenas atividades exclusivamente agrícolas, mas pluriatividade, impulsionando direta ou indiretamente a pequena agroindústria, gerando novos postos de trabalho e renda aos agricultores, promovendo a sua inclusão social e econômica.

International audience; Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method used to evaluate the potential impacts on the environment of a product, process, or activity throughout its life cycle. Today’s LCA users are a mixture of individuals with skills in different disciplines who want to evaluate their products, processes, or activities in a life cycle context. This study attempts to present some of the LCA studies on agro-chemical processes, recent advances in LCA and their application on food products and non-food products. Due to the recent development of LCA methodologies and dissemination programs by international and local bodies, use of LCA is rapidly increasing in agricultural and industrial products. The literatures suggest that LCA coupled with other environmental approaches provides much more reliable and comprehensive information to environmentally conscious policy makers, producers, and consumers in selecting sustainable products and production processes. For this purpose, a field study of LCA of biodiesel from Jatropha curcas has been taken as an example in the study. In the past, LCA has been applied primarily to products but recent literature suggests that it has also the potential as an analysis and design tool for processes and services. In general, all primary industries use energy and water resources and emit pollutants gases. LCA is a method to report on and analyze these resource issues across the life cycle of agro-chemical processes. This review has the importance as a first part of a research project to develop a life cycle assessment methodology for agro-chemical industries. It presents the findings of a literature review that focuses on LCA of agriculture and chemical engineering literature.

Long-time isolated from the rest of Brazil as a region dominated by the extractivsm of natural forest resources, the Jarí river region encounters a radical change of its economic development from 1967 on with the arrival of the American multimillionaire D.K. Ludwig and hos “Jari project”: the transformation of the region into an economic pole on the basis of the agro-industrial production of cellulose on the basis of extensive monoculture plantations. However, the region was already populated by small local communities scattered in the forest and living of the extractivism of natural resources. The evolution of the Jarí river region and “its” economic project, which is unique in the history of the so-called “Pharaonic projects” in the Amazon region, is in the center of this article. After a geo-historical synthesis of the Jarí project's evolution, the paper discusses the company's current strategies for the management of their territory, as well as the possibilities and limits of the company's foundation to effectively contribute to a more sustainable development in the region, able to respond to both the historic and actual contradictions of the economic development of the Jarí river region on the basis of agro-business., Longtemps isolée du reste du Brésil, cette région connaît son développement économique à partir de 1967 avec l'arrivé du multimillionnaire Américain Ludwig, dont le projet ambitieux (connu comme "projeto Jarí") consiste à former un laboratoire de développement économique pour l'Amazonie à base de l'agroindustrie, alors que la zone était déjà peuplée de petites communautés locales dispersées dans la forêt et vivant de l'extractivisme des ressources naturelles. Cette contribution vise à montrer comment une firme, dont la présence provoque un important bouleversement régional, apporte des réponses aux contradictions du développement économique en Amazonie. On analysera notamment le rôle de l'entreprise dans le développement régional, afin de comprendre ses stratégies territoriales en vu d'alliances favorables avec les pouvoirs publiques et les populations locales. Alors qu'un dialogue constructif entre ces acteurs a effectivement été ouvert notamment par l'intermédiation d'une Fondation sociale créée par l'entreprise, la question sur la répartition des tâches entre l'état et l'entreprise demeure une source de désaccord, encore aggravée par des conflits fonciers historiques autour de la propriété sur des aires protégées à proximité du territoire réclamé par l'entreprise.

���������������� ������������������, The research focuses on the impact evaluation of agriculture and non-agriculture national and international trade, and economic policy reforms in economic development and welfare of Bangladesh. This research especially evaluates the agro-industrialization impact on the economy and welfare of Bangladesh. For impact assessment, this study simulates a set of 10 scenarios by the single country CGE model (Lofgren et al. 2002) and a set of 5 scenarios by the multi-regional, multi-market comparative static GTAP model (Hertel, 1997). Assessment of policy reform through the single country CGE model reveals that the overall impact of trade liberalization is mixed among the sectors and households of the economy. The mixed impact keeps the debate of trade liberalization alive in case of Bangladesh. Non-agriculture trade liberalization contributes more in economy and welfare compare to agriculture trade liberalization. Agri-industry sector trade liberalization with ensuring increase productivity can ensure substantial increase in production and export of agribusiness sectors. As alternative to trade policy options, increase productivity with increase wage of agri-industry sector can increase production and welfare of country. World food price rise problem can be managed through reduction of food import tariff, which can help to increase the food security level. Devaluation is less welfare harmful, when trade liberalization and devaluation policy action can be taken together. Assessment of international trade liberalization through GTAP model reveals that complete elimination of applied tariff generates welfare loss for Bangladesh and LDCs. However, tariff reduction allocates resources efficiently, but inefficiency in terms of trade contributes largely in welfare loss of LDCs. Bangladesh gains welfare through market access negotiation issue of Doha round, but the country loses welfare due to domestic support and export subsidy reduction of developed countries. Own trade liberalization through tariff and domestic support reduction bring welfare gain for Bangladesh and LDCs. Preferential market access by Non-Europe developed countries and High income developing countries can offer large welfare gain for Bangladesh. Trade liberalization based trade policy reform is not all in all for economic development issue. Other non-trade policy reform is also important to utilize efficiently the gain from trade policy reform. Bangladesh should expand agro-industrialization through trade and economic policy reform to increase the agriculture sector contribution in the economy. The country policy makers should formulate trade and non-trade policy to increase agribusiness and processed food export for sustained economic growth.

- Abstract
In Boyacá, the agro-industrial sector is composed of a high percentage of micro companies located mainly in the central region where the majority of economic activities occur. These agro-industrial activities are centered on dairy processing and the processing of fruits destined for local, regional and in some cases national markets. The micro companies that were used as the study object are situated in the Industrial Corridor, and are characterized by 50 to 200 million active workers and volumes of variable production, with limited and heterogeneous levels of commercial capacity, technological development, organizational culture, financial and market management. The sector suffers from outdated technology and the slow adoption of development strategy resulting in disinvestment, job losses and limited economic diversity. This paper analyzes the agro-industrial system of the department of Boyacá through the methodology of the UNIDO, which includes a description, analysis and interpretation of its current nature and composition, and likewise, through benchmarking and with diagnostic tools designed and validated, characterize the systems within agro-industrial micro companies. An assessment of the competitive state of the micro companies in their different components (administrative, technical/ productive, financial, etc.) was procured. The results obtained allowed for the determination of unemployment levels and the ability to contrast them with the best business practices in each of the systems analyzed and with other micro companies through an individual, and later a sectorial diagnostic. The paper proposes strategies that micro companies of low performance levels can use to leverage their administrative and productive structures. With the results obtained, an integration model for agro-industrial companies that allows them to increase their level of competitiveness was designed., No município de Boyacá (Colômbia), o setor agroindustrial está formado, em grande parte, por microempresas localizadas principalmente na zona central, de onde se desenvolvem a maioria das atividades econômicas, das quais as atividades agroindustriais se concentram no processamento de produtos lácteos e na transformação de frutas, produtos destinados a mercados locais, regionais e em alguns casos nacionais. As microempresas que foram objeto do estudo estão localizadas no corredor industrial, caracterizam-se por possuir ativos na faixa de 50 a 200 milhões; trabalhadores e volumes de produção variáveis, com escasso e heterogêneo nível de capacidade empresarial, desenvolvimento tecnológico, cultura organizacional, gestão financeira e de mercados. O setor possui um notável atraso tecnológico e uma adoção lenta de estratégias de desenvolvimento não gerando investimentos, causando perda de empregos, e uma escassez de dinâmica econômica. Esta pesquisa analisa, segundo a metodologia da ONUDI, o sistema agroindustrial do município, que foi citado, analise e interpretação da natureza atual e sua composição, igualmente em comparação ao benchmarketing, e com instrumentos de diagnósticos desenhados e convalidados, são caracterizados os sistemas no interior das microempresas agroindustriais. Obteve–se um diagnostico do estado competitivo das microempresas, nos mais diferentes setores (administrativo, técnico/produtivo, financeiro, etc.). Os resultados obtidos permitem determinar os níveis de desempenho e contrasta-los com a melhor pratica empresarial em cada um dos sistemas analisados e frente a outras microempresas, através de um diagnostico individual e posteriormente setorial. Propõem-se estratégias para que as microempresas de baixo desempenho busquem nivelar suas estruturas administrativas e produtivas. Com os resultados obtidos desenhou-se um modelo de integração para as microempresas agroindustriais que permite aumentar os níveis de competitividade., En el departamento de Boyacá (Colombia), el sector agroindustrial está conformado, en alto porcentaje, por microempresas localizadas principalmente en la zona central, donde se desarrollan la mayoría de actividades económicas, de las cuáles las agroindustriales se concentran en el procesamiento de lácteos y transformación de frutas, productos destinados a mercados locales, regionales y en algunos casos nacionales.

El sector posee rezago tecnológico y lenta adopción de estrategia de desarrollo generando desinversión, pérdida de empleos y escasa dinámica económica. Este trabajo analiza, según la metodología de la ONUDI, el sistema agroindustrial del departamento, que comprende la descripción, análisis e interpretación de la naturaleza actual y su composición, igualmente mediante el benchmarking, y con instrumentos de diagnóstico diseñados y convalidados, se caracterizan los sistemas al interior de las microempresas agroindustriales. Se obtiene un diagnóstico del estado competitivo de las microempresas en sus diferentes componentes (administrativo, técnico /productivo, financiero etc.). Los resultados obtenidos permiten determinar los niveles de desempeño y contrastarlo con la mejor práctica empresarial en cada uno de los sistemas analizados y frente a otras microempresas, a través de un diagnóstico individual y posteriormente sectorial. Se proponen estrategias para que las microempresas de bajos desempeños logren nivelar sus estructuras administrativa y productiva. Con los resultados obtenidos se diseña un modelo de integración para las microempresas agroindustriales que permite aumentar los niveles de competitividad.

- Abstract
Under vintern och våren 2013 rullades en livsmedelsskandal upp som innebar en stor förvirring och osäkerhet kring ursprunget och härkomsten av livsmedel. Omfattningen av fusket och vilka åtgärder som blir aktuella under längre sikt för att komma till rätta med problemet är i dagsläget under utredning. Jag har valt att inrikta mitt examensarbete på att utreda hur ursprungsmärkning tillbaka till gårdsnivå påverkar de berörda slaktkycklingproducenterna. Metodvalet blev att genomföra en kvantitativ enkätstudie. Kommentarerna tolkades med kvalitativ metodik (Patel & Davidson, 2012). Av 43 relevanta gårdar i undersökningen besvarade 30 enkäten innan deadline.Ursprungsmärkning definieras som en märkning för att härleda livsmedel till en specifik plats, stad eller land. (slv.se, 2013). Resultatet och tolkningen av de inkomna enkäterna blev att det inte innebar en negativ belastning på gårdarna i undersökningen. Konsumentkontakten för de berörda uppfödarna var till största delen av positiv karaktär och gav utrymme till att marknadsföra svensk kyckling., During the winter and spring of 2013 a food scandal was exposed to the public. A lot of uncertainty and confusion because of unsure origin and provenance of food appeared. How big the fraud is and what the measures will be, is when this paper is written, uncertain. I have chosen to focus my thesis in my investigation to what impact origin of broilers all the way back to farm level have on the broiler breeders. Also to analyze the interaction between consumer and farmers and what the effects are due to the meeting that occurs. The chosen method was to perform a quantitative questionnaire survey. The comments were analyzed by using qualitative methods (Patel & Davidson, 2012). Inside the time of the deadline 30 of the 43 relevant farms answered the questionnaire survey. Origin is defined as a label for tracking food to a specific place, city or country (slv.se, 2013). The result in the survey and interpretation of the questionnaire was that it didn’t have any negative burden on the farmers due to origin of broilers back to farm level. The consumer contact for the farmers involved in the survey were mainly of a positive character and often opened opportunities to promote Swedish animal welfare and why the consumer should choose Swedish chicken.

- Abstract
Den svenska nötköttsproduktionen möts av konkurrens från importerat nötkött som har likvärdiga mervärdesfaktorer, men ett lägre pris. Nötkött från Brasilien och USA kan ses som konkurrenter, då de konkurrerar med nötkött som har ett högre pris och anses ha likvärdiga mervärden såsom frigående djur, bra köttkvalitet och god smak. Det brasilianska alternativet erbjuder ett nötkött som har bra och jämn kvalitet, frigående djur som får beta. Det svenska alternativet erbjuder samma mervärden samt att djuren haft en bättre djurvälfärd dock till ett högre pris. Studien syftar till att identifiera de faktorer som svenska konsumenter värderar och tänker på när de väljer importerat nötkött, för att skapa en bättre förståelse för deras beslutsprocess. I takt med bättre förståelse för konsumenten och de beslutsgrundande faktorerna genererar detta ny kunskap som kan hjälpa lantbrukare och stödorganisationer som till exempel LRF. Det kan hjälpa dem att arbeta mot ett mer effektivt sätt att definiera och konkurera med andra länder. Intervjuerna utformades så att det gick att förstå och identifiera hur konsumenten tänker och vad de egentligen vet och inte vet om importerat nötkött. Intervjufrågorna var delvis strukturerade och alla konsumenter fick samma grundfrågor men det gavs möjlighet att diskutera kring ämnet. Undersökningen omfattade 28 konsumenter varav 10 män och 18 kvinnor. Intervjuerna tog i genomsnitt 30 minuter per konsument. Intervjuerna har gjorts i livsmedelsaffärer som Ica Kvantum och Coop Konsum samt en Willys butik i sydvästra Skåne. Dessa har genomförts i närheten av köttdisken i de olika butikerna, för att öka inspirationen till en bra intervju om nötköttet. Intervjuerna visade att konsumenten har liten kunskap om vad skillnaderna på regler är mellan olika länder när det gäller nötköttsproduktion. Samtidigt tror konsumenten att reglerna är hårdare i Sverige men man vet inte vad skillnaderna är. Inställningen till utländska produkter är positiv och de visar på at, The Swedish beef industry faces competition from imports that have similar value added propositions yet lower production costs. Beef from Brazil and the United States can be seen as competitors, which means that they compete with beef that has a lower price and are considered to have added value such as free range, good quality and good taste. Both countries offer beef with high quality. Brazilian exporters offer beef that has good and consistent quality, free range and happy animals, while the Swedish alternative offers similar added value qualities albeit at a higher price. This creates a challenge for Swedish producers wishing to differentiate their products. This study aims to identify the factors Swedish consumers evaluate and consider when choosing imported beef and to establish a better understanding of their decision making process. In shaping a better understanding of the consumer and the factors which drive their purchase decisions, the study generates knowledge that can help farmers and support organizations (such as the Federation of Swedish Farmers (LRF). It can help them to work towards an effective way to differentiate and compete with other countries. Interviews were conducted with consumers to identify and understand how they think and what they really know and do not know about imported beef. The interview questions were semi-structured and all consumers were questioned on the same basic issues, but given the opportunity to expand upon set topics. The survey covers 28 consumers including 10 men and 18 women. The interviews took an average of 30 minutes. The interviews were conducted in supermarkets, ICA Kvantum and Coop Konsum stores and a Willys store in southwest scania. The interviews were done around the meat counter in the different stores, to increase the inspiration for a good discussion about beef. The interviews revealed that consumers have little knowledge about the differences in rules between countries in terms of animal welfare in beef

- Abstract
The purpose of this case-study is to find out, how the agronomists specialized in Animal husbandry perceive and respond to the ongoing debate initiated by ‘Livestock‘s long shadow’ report about the risks with global livestock production. Moreover, to investigate also their perspective regarding different attempts to reduce the risks as well as the nature of the reactions shown by the farmers and general citizens. The research study is based on the qualitative semi-structured interviews with fourteen agronomists regarding the research questions about how they understand and evaluate the above mentioned debate concerning the expansion of livestock activities and the related problems. The results are interpreted through the interview quotes of the respondents rather than using any direct statistical data. The results show that the interviewed agronomists are aware of the ongoing debate and confirm that many of the problems raised in ‘Livestock‘s long shadow’ report are relevant and need to be addressed on a global level. Whereas, they do not consider any need for substantial changes in the Swedish production system. However, they indicate that Sweden is indirectly responsible for deforestation and expansion of the ongoing livestock activities of Brazil and other South American countries because of importing soyabean and red meat from those countries. The agronomists argue that decrease in red meat consumption side by side with increase in livestock production within the safe limits in Sweden would help to decrease risks for the society and reduce the import of red meat in the country, as well. Moreover, they give suggestions for giving incentives to the farmers by the Swedish government to provide the relief for rearing cattle in higher number and for change of the food habits of people to decrease red meat consumption in the country. The agronomists being animal husbandry experts are aware of and to a large extent agree with the criticism about global livestock produc

- Abstract
Most of the goats in the world exist in the developing countries where they are important in the meat industry. In Europe, goats are mostly kept for milk production although the interest for meat is growing. Goats have a thin carcass with only small amounts of intramuscular fat, which gives a lean meat. This thin subcutaneous fat cover can cause cold shortening when chilling the carcass. By using electrical stimulation cold shortening can be prevented. Goat meat is a high quality meat. During experiments, a test panel was used to determine the taste of goat meat and it resulted that goat meat was well accepted. A diet with either goat milk or a goat milk replacer doesn’t affect the meat quality, but can affect the quantity on the market. The age of the animal does not have a remarkably effect upon the meat quality but other parameters like the color and the moistness in the carcasses can be affected by age., Den största andelen getter finns i utvecklingsländerna där de är en viktig del av köttproduktionen. I Europa hålls getter vanligtvis för mjölkproduktion även om intresset för getkött ökar. Getter har en tunn slaktkropp med lite intramuskulärt fett, vilket ger ett magert kött. Det tunna subkutana fettlagret kan orsaka kylsammandragning vid nedkylning av slaktkroppen vilket kan undvikas med elektrisk stimulering. Getkött är ett kött med hög kvalitet. Vid försök där man använt sig av en testpanel för att provsmaka getkött var getköttet väl accepterat av deltagarna. Utfodring med mjölkersättning påverkar inte kvaliteten hos köttet, men kan påverka kvantiteten getkött ute på marknaden. Köttets kvalitet påverkas inte nämnvärt av djurets ålder, men andra parametrar som färg och fuktighetsgrad i slaktkropparna kan påverkas.

This paper intends to provide an overview of the technological innovation in the Spanish wood-based industry. This characterization will be carried out through the analysis of a set of indicators based on both secondary and primary data, the later obtained from a survey taken in 2007. Results indicate a weakness and backwardness in the innovation activities performed in the forest industry, with respect to the overall Spanish manufacturing industry. This gap is wider in the case of R&D activities. However, it is necessary to indicate that the important limitations observed in the way firms carry out their innovation activities, are shared with the overall traditional manufacturing sectors., Este trabajo intenta presentar una visión de conjunto sobre el estado de la innovación tecnológica en la industria forestal en España. Dicha caracterización se llevará a cabo a través del análisis de diversos indicadores de innovación elaborados partiendo tanto de las fuentes secundarias actualmente disponibles, como de datos primarios obtenidos mediante una encuesta realizada en el año 2007. Los resultados indican, esencialmente, debilidad y retraso de las actividades de innovación tecnológica en la industria forestal respecto de las correspondientes a la totalidad de la industria manufacturera española. Esta brecha se acentúa en el caso de las distintas actividades de I+D que se han analizado. Es preciso indicar, no obstante, que las serias limitaciones observadas en la forma en que las empresas realizan sus actividades innovadoras no constituyen especial singularidad dentro del conjunto de los sectores tradicionales.

O objetivo deste artigo é caracterizar o setor agroindustrial de alimentos derivados de cacau no Nordeste Brasileiro. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com base na metodologia de pesquisa descritiva e explicativa, focado na identificação das características e nas inter-relações entre os elos dessa atividade econômica no Nordeste. A agroindústria de derivados de cacau no Nordeste tem se expandido e apresentado maior integração com as cadeias produtivas do setor rural. Porém, o fortalecimento do setor agroindustrial depende, ainda, do fornecimento de matérias-primas com qualidade e regularidade; estabelecimento, disseminação e fiscalização de controles de qualidade e de normas e padrões sanitários; profissionalização de dirigentes nas áreas administrativas e de agronegócios; qualificação da mão-de-obra; assistência técnica com qualidade; regulamentação da concorrência; simplificação de normas fitossanitárias; educação e conscientização de consumidores, além da elevação de renda da população.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The objective of this article is to characterize the agro-industrial food sector derived of cacao from Brazilian Northeast. The work was developed on the basis of the characteristics and the Inter-relations between the links of this economic activity from northeast. The agro-industry of derivatives of cacao in the Northeast if has expanded and presented bigger integration with the productive chains of the agricultural sector. However, to fortify the agro-industrial sector depends, still, of the raw material supply with quality and regularity; establishment, dissemination and fiscalization of norm and quality control and sanitary standards; professionalization of controllers in the administrative areas and agribusiness; qualification of the worker; assistance technique with quality; regulation of the competition; simplification of fitossanitaries norms; education and awareness of consumers, beyond the rise of income of the population.

O presente trabalho avaliou a eficiência da pasteurização e o uso de preservativos em polpas de manga Tommy Atkins (Mangifera indica L.) refrigeradas. Antes da confecção dos tratamentos, os frutos foram higienizados em solução de hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) a 100 mg. L-1, por 10 minutos. Após o processamento, foi realizado o ajuste do pH das polpas para 3,0, e o ajuste da atividade de água (Aa) para 0,95. As variáveis utilizadas foram a pasteurização (água fervente a 95 ± 5 ºC, por 0 e 1 minuto), a adição de benzoato de sódio nas concentrações de 0; 200 e 500 mL.L-1 , e dióxido de enxofre (SO2) a 0; 100 e 200 mL.L-1. As polpas foram então embaladas em sacos de polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD) de 0,060 mm (0,10 x 0,12 m - sem espaço livre e contendo 500g de polpa), e armazenadas em câmara frigorífica a 20 ± 1 ºC e 80 ± 3% de U.R, por 28 dias. Ao final do experimento, os tratamentos não-submetidos à pasteurização apresentaram os maiores níveis de ácido ascórbico. Entretanto, nesses mesmos tratamentos, foram intensa atividade microbiana e elevados níveis de pH. Não foram detectadas diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos testados nas análises de acidez titulável (AT) e sólidos solúveis (SS). Devido à ausência de escurecimento nas polpas trabalhadas, durante todo o período experimental, não se podem detectar as diferenças entre a aplicação do SO2 e a utilização da pasteurização. O menor índice de contaminação microbiológica e a preferência dos julgadores no painel sensorial foram atribuídos aos tratamentos submetidos à pasteurização, adição de benzoato de sódio a 500 mL.L-1 e adição de dióxido de enxofre a 200 mL.L-1. The present work had evaluated the efficiency of the pasteurization and the use of preservatives in mangos pulps (Mangifera indica L.) refrigerated. Before carrying out the treatments, the fruits had been cleaned in solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at 100 mg. L-1, for 10 minutes. After the processing, it was carried out through the adjustment of pH of pulps for 3.0 and the adjustment of the water activity (Wa) at 0.95. The used variable had been the branching (hot water at 95 ± 5 ºC, for 0 and 1 minute), the addition of sodium benzoate in the concentrations of 0; 200 and 500 mL.L-1 and, sulfite dioxide (SO2 ) in 0, 100 and 200 mL.L-1. Then the pulps had been packed in low density polyethylene (LDPE) bags of 0,060 mm (0.10 x 0.12 m - without free space and content of 500g of pulp) and, conditioned in at 20 ± 1 ºC e 80 ± 3% of R.H, for 28 days. At the end of the experiment, the treatments not submitted to the branching had shown the biggest ascorbic acid levels. However, in these same treatments had been noticed intense microbiological activity and raised levels of pH. There aren't significant differences between the tested treatments in the titratable acidity (TA) and soluble solids (SS) analyses. Due to the absence of black spot in the pulps used during all the experimental period, it couldn't be detected the differences between the application of the SO2 and the use of the branching. The lower index of microbiological contamination and the preference of the judges in the sensorial panel had been attributed to the submitted treatments to the branching, addition of 500mL.L-1 of sodium benzoate and addition of 200mL.L-1 of sulfite dioxide.

Today, impact evaluation of development projects is dominated by quantitative methods, both experimental and quasi experimental. Yet, they are difficult to apply to agricultural development projects, and do not allow for quantification of the impact over the useful life of the project realisations. This thesis proposes a new method, the systemic impact evaluation. It enables us to understand both the process through which impact materializes and to rigorously quantify the impact of agricultural development projects on the producers' income. The analysis is notably based on the comprehension of the agrarian dynamics and the farmers' strategies, and permits the quantification of ex-post impact but also to devise a model of ex- ante evolution for the following years. The systemic impact evaluation is applied to two major types of development projects in the forest region of Guinea: inland valley development projects and the oil-palm and rubber tree plantation project. These two case studies notably prove the importance of going beyond a mean impact on households: the existence of highly differentiated impacts by farming system is one of the main conclusions of this thesis.; L'évaluation d'impact des projets de développement est aujourd'hui dominée par les méthodes quantitatives : expérimentales ou quasi-expérimentales. Elles sont toutefois difficilement applicables aux projets de développement agricoles, et elles ne permettent pas de quantifier l'impact sur toute la durée de vie des réalisations. Cette thèse propose une nouvelle méthode, l'évaluation systémique d'impact. Elle permet à la fois de comprendre les processus par lesquels l'impact se matérialise et de quantifier rigoureusement l'impact des projets de développement agricole sur le revenu des producteurs. L'analyse repose notamment sur la compréhension des dynamiques agraires et des stratégies des agriculteurs, et permet de quantifier l'impact ex-post mais également d'en modéliser ex-ante l'évolution pour les années suivantes. L'évaluation systémique d'impact est appliquée à deux grands types de projets en Guinée forestière : les projets d'aménagements de bas-fonds et un projet agro-industriel de plantations de palmiers à huile et d'hévéas. Ces deux études de cas démontrent notamment l'importance de ne pas se contenter de rechercher un impact moyen sur les ménages : l'existence d'impacts fortement différenciés par système de production est l'une des principales conclusions de cette thèse.

- Abstract
The aim of this work is to integrate and apply the tools of quality from the proposition of a methodological framework dedicated to the analysis of the variability in manufacturing processes in a company's agribusiness segment. The procedures for data collection are given from the development of a methodological framework that formed the basis for obtaining search results. Accordingly, it was prepared a literature review that supported the process of construction of the questionnaire. Data were collected through direct interviews and intensive applied to company employees focus of the study. Systematic observations were carried out and unsystematic. The methodology proposed was implemented in a case study of an applied nature held in agribusiness organization. The data were qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that the processes are stable, with no abnormal variability. However, considering the requirements for the Spanish market, it was found that the characteristic weight, the process shows great variability. Was defined as the main cause the presence of bacteria Acidovorax. Therefore, the integrated employment of quality tools can enhance the development of more sustainable solutions to problems or bugs found in production processes., O objetivo deste trabalho é integrar e aplicar as ferramentas da qualidade a partir da proposição de um framework metodológico dedicado à análise da variabilidade nos processos produtivos em uma empresa do segmento agroindustrial. Os procedimentos de coleta dos dados se deram a partir do desenvolvimento de um framework metodológico que serviu de base para obtenção dos resultados da pesquisa. Nesse sentido, elaborou-se uma revisão de literatura que apoiou o processo de construção de um questionário. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas diretas e intensivas aplicadas com funcionários da empresa foco do estudo. Observações sistemáticas e assistemáticas foram realizadas. A sistemática proposta foi executada em um estudo de caso de natureza aplicada realizado em uma organização agroindustrial. Os dados obtidos foram qualitativos e quantitativos. Os resultados mostraram que os processos estão estáveis, sem apresentar variabilidades anormais. Todavia, considerando as exigências para o mercado espanhol, verificou-se que para o característico peso, o processo apresenta grande variabilidade. Definiu-se como causa principal a presença da bactéria Acidovorax. Portanto, o emprego integrado das ferramentas da qualidade pode potencializar o desenvolvimento de soluções mais sustentáveis para os problemas ou falhas encontradas nos processos produtivos.

- Abstract
Currently the large-scale land acquisitions are expanding in developing countries and in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ethiopia is also actively engaged in this global situation. There are limited empirical studies that show the effects of large-scale land acquisitions in the host countries. The objective of this thesis was to identify the perceived effects of large-scale agriculture land acquisition on the livelihood of small-scale farmers in Bako-Tibe Woreda, Western Ethiopia. To this effect, issues of livelihood, food security, sustainable natural resources management and participation were used as guiding concepts. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect data. The data was collected through interviewing 145 farm households in the two kebeles of Bako-Tibe Woreda. In addition, focus group discussion and key informant interview were employed to gather in-depth insights. Despite the availability of important policies, strategies and proclamations in Ethiopia, the large-scale land acquisition processes were conducted in Bako-Tibe Woreda in a non-participatory way. Particularly the local communities did not participate in the process from the start of the deals up to the land allocation. This thesis concluded that stakeholders’ participation was non-existent, deforestation was the major environmental concern, job creation opportunities were low and the contribution to an improved livelihood of the local farmers was minimal. Keywords: Land acquisition, Livelihood, Participation, Food security, Land grab, Ethiopia.

- Abstract
With smallholder farmers identified as the core of several recent development programs, coupled with the very important role agriculture can play in the eradication of extreme poverty, hunger and food insecurity in the world. The aim of this paper is to identify conditions necessary for smallholder farmers to capitalise on new business opportunities emerging from the reorganization of supply chains around the world. A comparative case study approach provides views on the most favourable conditions. The research makes use of an extensive literature review on patterns and constraints to agricultural marketing in Sub- Saharan Africa to identify potential areas for intervention by different stakeholders. The main focus is on the role NGOs are playing in market-oriented smallholder agricultural development in this part of the world. Selected theories, business model frameworks, concepts and principles like stakeholder theory, transaction cost theory, the concept of collective market and Oxfams five principles of linking smallholders to formal markets are used to analyse the ability of NGO proposed business models in meeting smallholder agricultural development challenges. Empirical data for analysis was gathered from four (4) agricultural projects in three (3) different SSA countries (Kenya, Uganda and Zambia), pioneered by three different international NGOs; Swedish Cooperative Centre and FARM-Africa. Collective action was identified as the model NGOs are applying as a best option for smallholders to overcome barriers to entry into high value markets, with group characteristics, type of product and market, institutional arrangements, the role of facilitators and the external environment emerging as determinants of success for any collective action initiative. NGOs acting as facilitators are expected to have very clear exit strategy, as this is crucial for project sustainability. NGOs should concentrate more on building the capacity of smallholder farmer groups such that

Au sein des plantations agro-industrielles de la canne à sucre en Afrique de l’Ouest, les experts chargés du développement productiviste occultent souvent le discours critique que tiennent les paysans locaux vis-à-vis du nouveau mode d’exploitation de la terre et de son impact sur l’écosystème. Dans les logiques paysannes anciennes, tout un ensemble de pratiques religieuses était destiné à fixer des limites à une utilisation excessive des ressources naturelles. En affirmant que « le monde est gâté », les cultivateurs traduisent la crise d’un modèle agricole traditionnel et la dissolution des liens sociaux qu’il sous-tendait. Cette expression est le signe de la profonde métamorphose que connaît la société sénoufo qui, si elle a souvent été perçue comme particulièrement fermée, apparaît ici comme un monde en transition. Senufo Farmers’ Sugar-Cane Plantations in Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. – Experts in industrial, productivity-oriented sugar-cane plantations in west Africa often overlook the criticism that local peasants make of new methods for working the land and their impact on the ecosystem. In line with traditional farming strategies, religious practices were intended to set limits on overusing natural resources. When declaring, “The world is spoiled”, farmers are referring to the crisis of traditional farming and disintegration of the social bonds underlying this model. Though often seen as very closed, Senufo society is undergoing a transformation.

Berglund, Erik and Berglund, Erik
- Abstract
Företagsledningar fattar beslut, i syfte att möta eller skapa förändringar, dessa påverkar ofta hela organisationen. Efter att ledningen fattat ett beslut måste beslutet verkställas på ett eller annat sätt, denna verkställningsprocess kallas för implementering. Många beslut som fattas av ledningen misslyckas under dess implementering i organisationen. Utifrån denna verklighet är det intressant att studera implementeringsprocesser. Detta har gjorts på olika organisationer men inte i något lantbrukskooperativ tidigare. Denna studie syftar till att ingående redogöra för implementeringen av ett ledningsbeslut som genomförts i lantbrukskooperativ. Vidare syftar studien till att ge information om vad som påverkade (påverkar) implementeringsprocessen. Det sista delsyftet är att jämföra implementeringsprocessen i kooperativa företag med implementeringsprocesser i ett aktiebolag. Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativ fallstudie på Mellanskog ekonomisk förening i Uppsala. Där har två personer intervjuats, en från organisationens ledning och en person som arbetat med att verkställa beslutet. Resultaten visar att ett medelstort lantbrukskooperativ med nära relation till sin ägarorganisation, likt Mellanskog, utformas implementeringsprocesser med mycket stora ansträngningar i förankringsarbetet. Detta i syfte att skapa acceptans i: dels den interna operativa organisationen och dels i ägarorganisationen. Implementeringsresultaten och implementeringsprocesserna påverkas av en rad faktorer i kooperativa företag, troligen påverkar organisationskulturen och ägarorganisationen processen mest i lantbrukskooperativ likt Mellanskog. Detta gör att kooperativa organisationer behöver grundligare och längre (från ledningen mätt) förankringsprocesser. Det finns ett antal skillnader mellan implementeringar i kooperativ och i aktiebolag. Dessa ligger främst i att kooperativet måste förankra besluten längre ut från ledningen, att organisationskulturen är mer påtaglig och ofta kan fungera som

Andersson, Helena, Thorstensson, Frida, Andersson, Helena, and Thorstensson, Frida
- Abstract
In 2007 Swedish Meats, the dominant Swedish meat-producers cooperative sold its slaughtering and processing industry. The goal of a producer cooperative structure is to create value for members through vertical integration, and to strengthen members’ market position. When Swedish Meats sold the slaughtering and processing components, it ceased in some respects to serve the function of a cooperative. This is a lost opportunity for both members and non-members, because Swedish Meats as a functioning cooperative could have exploited its dominant market position to positively effect producer’s prices. Today there is no large cooperative organization in the Swedish Meat industry. The aim of this study is to analyze why Swedish Meats sold its slaughter and processing industry. The methodology of the study includes a literature review and an empirical study. The empirical study contains three interviews with individuals with insight into the Swedish slaughter industry and an accounts analysis based on Swedish Meats’ annual reports. The study reveals that the consequences of the Swedish entry into the European Union came as a shock to the cooperative slaughter industry. The industry had overestimated its market knowledge and the competitiveness of the cost structure. Indeed the industry structure was inefficient and costly. Furthermore, poor communication between management and owners may have precipitated a crisis of confidence among the members and a decline in both membership and slaughter volume. This in turn led to poor capacity utilization. Finally, these issues increased transaction and agency costs preventing Swedish Meats from taking advantage of its market dominance in the Swedish slaughter and processing industry.

- Abstract
Oat (Avena sativa L.) grains from the cultivar Ivory were steeped at pH 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 in 0.01M phosphate buffer solution and in tap water: The pH effect during steeping on avenanthramides 2c, 2p, 2f, 2pd, 2fd and 3f was analysed and compared between germinated samples and with a control. Additional unidentified compounds X, Y and Z in oat grains were included in the analysis. Statistically significant differences were obtained between control and pH2, pH4, pH6 and pH8 treatments for 3f (p<0.001) while 2c, 2p and 2f did not show any significant difference from the control. Avenanthramides 2pd and 2fd together with compounds X, Y and Z seemed to peak at higher pH ranges with statistically significant differences found between control and pH8 and pH10 (p<0.001). Analysis of compounds found in roots (A, B, C) and shoots (D, E, F) was also performed using the same experimental method as for avenanthramides. No pattern regarding concentration of unidentified compounds between different pH values was observed for shoot samples; root samples showed increase of compound D in pH2. However, there was no clear trend of increase or decrease.

- Abstract
This paper argues that the food industry in general and the one taking place in Scania in particular, are disregarded in the official management of industrial preservation carried out in Sweden today. Despite the articulated ambition of a cultural heritage that as many as possible could identify with, the practice tend to create an industrial heritage based on stereotype ideas about the landscape in Sweden and the characteristics of industry. The way the open land of Scania differs from the traditional image of the appearance of Sweden, is used as one possible way to explain why the food industries of Scania are overseen in the management of industrial heritage. It is also argued that the high number of female employees might bee a reason why the food industries in general are given low priority in the practice of cultural heritage. By putting the Findus pea industry and the cultivated landscape that provides the factory with primary products against the official criteria for industrial memories, it is examined what values for preservation the food industry contain.

- Abstract
For the last fifteen years the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) provided financial support to environment and development initiatives in the Baltic Sea region (BSR). One of these initiatives, the "Agriculture and Environment in Leningrad Oblast" program (AELO), was pointed out as successful in establishing a multi-stakeholder pilot activity in North West Russia (NWR). This thesis work is taking the reader on a research enquiry through the second phase of the AELO program, named "Agriculture, Environment and Ecosystem Health in North West Russia" (AEEHLO), exploring the interactions between multi-stakeholder processes with communication and coordination, based on the concept of "Multi-stakeholder platform" (MSP) as a "space for change". For this, Soft System Methodology (SSM) methods and techniques are used to appraise the second phase program's communication and coordination imprints and its MSP. The quest for program communication and coordination is interesting because of the complexity of the human interactions involved and because of the program's structural uncertainty as it is in a constant development flux. The evidence material for this research is based on secondary data, focus group discussions, oral interviews, a multi-stakeholder program meeting, and all this wrapped in the SSM enquiry process used for navigation. As emergent of this work is the hope to bring home contribution to the knowledge area of multi-stakeholder processes and platforms governed by communication, negotiation, and coordination. The results of the research show that the success of the AEEHLO program as a multi-stakeholder platform depends on the ability of its stakeholders, from the authority and nonauthority side, to collaborate in mutual sharing and understanding, and in collaborative definition of interrelated issues. Another result is that AEEHLO as a program can be viewed as a "space for change" in which coordination and collaboration between the stake

- Abstract
The consumer often chooses the store depending on the quality of the fruit and vegetable department. A study has proven that about half of the purchases in this department are impulsive. This gives the store a good possibility to influence the consumer’s behaviour in the fruit and vegetables department. Compared to other products, like pasta or rice, there are few brands represented in the f & v-department. The purpose of the study is to describe how the grocery store handles, markets and organises the fruit and vegetable department. The study consists of 20 interviews and observations with staff responsible for the fruit and vegetables in different supermarket stores around Halland, Lund and Malmö. The study is made of the four biggest actors on the grocery stores market. The interviewed persons got to answer eleven pre-written questions. The observations were presented in writing and through photos.

- Abstract
In my work I have chosen to examine the profitability for small scale production of hemp briquettes. My study also includes a review of which briquette technique that is the most common one among small scale producers. The reason that I have chosen this subject is because of the discussions about climate and energy that we face almost every day. I also think the subject is extra interesting in these days when the grain prizes are at a historic high level. In order for me to achieve a reliable report, a hemp and briquette producer has given me the actual data from his farm. In that way I have been able to make my calculations from a concrete perspective. I have used the data in several calculations in order to find out the average net balance per hectare. I have also included a calculation of spring wheat in order to make it possible to compare the different crop net balances. The result of this investigation indicates that it´s possible to grow hemp, and produce briquettes with a positive net balance. The net balance for hemp per hectare is 3472 Swedish crowns. The net balance for spring wheat is however much higher per hectare. One hectare of spring wheat generates a profit of approximately 7342 Swedish crowns. In this calculations I haven´t included labor and storage costs. The conclusion of my work is that it´s not possible to achieve a higher net balance of producing briquettes. Soil that has a low grain production capacity is probably the best option for hemp production., I detta arbete har jag valt att undersöka lönsamheten för brikettering av hampa på gårdsnivå. I denna studie har också ingått att ta reda på vilken metod för brikettering som är vanligast vid småskaligt bruk. Bakgrunden till arbetet är den rådande klimat och energidebatten som vi möts av varje dag och jag tycker att ämnet är extra intressant nu när spannmålspriserna ligger på historiskt hög nivå. För att kunna uppnå ett så rättvist resultat som möjligt i mitt arbete har jag tagit kontakt med en hampaodlare för att undersöka lönsamheten under hans rådande förutsättningar. De uppgifter jag erhållit från honom har jag satt in i en kalkyl och räknat ut lönsamheten per hektar för både hampa och vårvete. På detta sätt kan man jämföra lönsamheten mellan båda grödorna. Resultatet av denna undersökning visar att det är lönsamt att odla hampa och producera briketter av denna. Nettot per hektar hampa hamnar på ca 3472 kr. Nettot för vårvete hamnade dock på hela 7342 kr per hektar vilket är mer än dubbelt så mycket som nettot för hampa. Lagringskostnaderna samt arbetsinsatsen för briketteringen är dock inte medräknade i berörda kalkyler. Slutsatsen av detta är att det inte är lönsamt att odla hampa på högavkastande spannmålsjordar. Det är på jordar som inte är lämpade för spannmålsodling som hampaodlingen förmodligen bör ske.

Agrarian co-operatives, in contrast to limited companies, cannot be listed on the Stock Market. Therefore, there is no mechanism such as the Stock Exchange rate to assign them a value. To correct this situation an analogical-stock market valuation model has emerged, which postulates that general markets behave as organized stock markets. The main consequence of this is the possibility of employing stock market information (generally more abundant and of higher quality that those from non stock-exchange companies) to valuate those which are not listed on the Stock Market, although by their nature they could be, or those which by their legal nature could never be quoted, such as the agrarian co-operatives. In the presen t work this methodology, specifically dynamic models, is applied to the valuation of wine co-operatives within the Appellation of Origin Alicante (Spain), calculating also the complementary merger value, trying to judge the convenience of an hypothetic association among them., Las cooperativas agrarias, al contrario que las sociedades anónimas, no tienen la posibilidad de cotizar en Bolsa. Por tanto, no existe un mecanismo como sería el Mercado de Valores que les asigne un valor. Para paliar esta eficiencia surge la valoración analógico-bursátil, que postula que el mercado general de empresas se comporta de manera análoga a los mercados de acciones organizados. La consecuencia más importante que se puede extraer es la posibilidad de emplear la información del mercado bursátil (que naturalmente es de una abundancia y calidad mayores que el de las empresas no cotizadas) para valorar empresas que no cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores, aunque por su naturaleza así pudieran hacerlo o también para valorar empresas que nunca podrían cotizar en Bolsa porque su naturaleza jurídica así se lo impide, tal es el caso de las cooperativas agrarias. En el presente trabajo se aplica esta metodología, específicamente los modelos dinámicos, a la valoración de las bodegas cooperativas amparadas por la Denominación de Origen Alicante (España), calculando también su valor complementario de fusión, en un intento de juzgar la conveniencia de una hipotética unión entre las mismas.

The objective of this paper was to determine and analyze the main competitive performance indicators of the pulp producing agro-industries of the local tropical fruits’ agricluster of the Metropolitan Region of Belém and Northeast of Pará. The competitive performance was evaluated by using ex-ante and ex-post indicators of the existing industrial organization. The results showed that the firms are operating with multiple objectives and most of them are obtaining significant indicators showing an increase in the productive capacity, profit’s margins, market share and employment. Finally, it is concluded that the firms of the fruits’ cluster are competitive at the local, national and international markets of pulp’s mix, composed by Amazon’s fruits and other tropical fruits.
