“…In addition, West African competitor countries, such as Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Nigeria, have consumer interests because of the quality and taste the consumer market prefers. These producing countries actively export cocoa beans to maintain their competitive position in the international market [83].…”

Cocoa beans are one of Indonesia's primary export commodities, ranking fourth in terms of foreign exchange earnings. Under conditions of free trade, this study aimed to analyze the determinants of the export value of Indonesian cocoa beans compared to its competitors in West African countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Nigeria). The research method used is the gravity model with panel data from 2000 -2020, using STATA 14.2 and Microsoft Excel. The results indicate that the variables significantly affecting the export value of cocoa beans are economic distance, production, export volume, the population of exporting countries, harvested area, exchange rate, and membership in AFCFTA. Other variables are not significant. This study concludes that the effect of export volume and production of cocoa beans, economic distance, and exchange rate are positive, while the effect of membership in AFCFTA is negative. However, this study is unable to analyze the factors that influence the trade of Indonesian cocoa beans and its competitor countries to the import destination country (Malaysia) as well as the export of cocoa beans (raw or roasted). Future research direction includes exploring Indonesia's post-COVID-19 international trade strategy and food safety issues.

“…The top two countries (Ivory Coast and Ghana) combined to cultivate more than half of the world's cocoa (WCF, 2013;Odijie, 2018). Cocoa is the most prominent export crop in Nigeria in terms of its production and export capacities (Abdullahi et al, 2021;Nwachukwu et al, 2010). According to (Awoyemi & Aderinoye-Abdulwahab, 2019;Adebile & Amusan, 2011) cocoa contributes about 15% to the total Nigeria export in 1970 and its contribution to Nigeria's foreign earnings is USD 270,5 million in the first quarter of 2022 (Premium Times, 2022).…”

Cocoa is the most prominent export crop in Nigeria in terms of its production and export capacities. There is dearth of literature on the profitability of the different cropping systems. This study therefore examined the profitability of the different cocoa cropping systems and the factors that affect the revenue of cocoa farmers for each of the cropping systems. The study area was Nigeria and information were collected from one hundred and eighty farmers using well-structured question- naires. Descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and linear regression were used for analysis in this study. The study revealed that twenty-seven farmers practised sole cocoa cropping, seventy-five farmers practised cocoa/arable cropping and seventy-eight farmers practised cocoa/tree cropping systems, respectively. The mean age of farmers in sole cocoa cropping system was 49.3 years, for cocoa/ arable cropping system the mean age was 47.8 years while for cocoa/tree cropping system the mean age of farmers was 47.2 years. For sole cocoa cropping system, the total cost (TC) was USD 7,764; the gross revenue (GR) was USD 43,774 with USD 36,009 as profit made from the cropping system. The TC for cocoa/tree cropping system in Nigeria was USD 18,003, GR was USD 124,104 and the profit was USD 106,102. Similarly for cocoa/arable cropping system, the TC was USD 16,215, GR was USD 109,849 and profit was USD 93,634. The determinants for the three cocoa cropping systems were age, gender, marital status (married), educational level (primary), cost of seedling, cost of fertilizer, cost of fungicide, cost of herbicide, labour cost for bush clearing, land preparation, weeding and planting. Cocoa/tree and cocoa/arable cropping systems were more profitable than sole cocoa cropping systems. However, cocoa/ tree cropping system was more profitable with a value of USD 106,102.

“…The importance of the agribusiness sector is apparent where not only it represents a large share of the total economy in terms of land utilisation, employment opportunities and economic growth in non-agricultural markets; more significantly, it contributes to the economic development of any developing nation (Nwachukwu et al, 2014). In Sri Lanka, the sector contributes 8.5 per cent to the national gross domestic product, where 23.2 per cent of export earnings are derived at from agricultural export crops and involves about 32 per cent of total land area, with 36.1 per cent or 2.6m of the employed population (Central Bank of Sri Lanka, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating effect of religiosity of farm owners on the resource-capability-competitive advantage interaction. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered structured questionnaire was developed to collect data from farm owners who possess the experience in commercial cultivation of three main minor export crops in Sri Lanka. Findings The results of linear regression analysis on 456 responses received suggest that the religiosity of farm owners significantly moderates the relationships between resources, capabilities and competitive advantage of the minor export crop farms, confirming the study hypotheses. Research limitations/implications Future studies should consider the specific impact of different religious affiliations, traits and/or precepts of the farm owners. In addition, educational level, income level and mental capacity of the farm owners should be considered too since they may form part of the observed relationships. Originality/value The study has addressed the gap in literature by highlighting the potential of religiosity in the interaction between resources, capabilities and competitive advantage. From the practical standpoint, besides providing some directions to the farm owners, the results also benefit different stakeholders such as policy makers, government and local communities in suggesting and implementing appropriate measures with regard to selecting suitable resources and integrating them with proper capabilities for greater competitive advantage of the agribusiness sector.
