“…Notably, two studies introduce the concept of sustainability in food security analysis (Berry et al, 2015; Mc Carthy et al, 2018). In step with this growing interest in sustainability, one recent study suggests 12 indicators to measure progress in sustainable rice farming (Mungkung et al, 2022). In regards to disparities consideration, Kabeer’s gender analysis and empowerment framework is used to assess inequalities in the intensification of sustainable agriculture (Grabowski et al, 2021).…”

The Sub-Saharan African region encounters a deficiency in agricultural financing, which can be attributed to its constraints in accessing international investments in general and the low engagement of bank risk-taking in particular. This situation leads to underproduction, which exacerbates poverty and malnutrition in the region. Thus, this study investigates the impact of the interaction effects between agricultural production, economic development (ED), and financial development (FD via FDI and DC) on bank stability ratios across 40 countries, encompassing 350 operational banks, during the period covering 2010 to 2019. The research employs the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique and verifies its consistency with Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and the Z-Score Approach. The results highlight two findings: first, the interaction effects between economic development, agricultural production, and financial development factors have significantly greater impacts on bank sustainability than their individual effects without interactions. Secondly, these interaction effects sustain significantly bank stability in two ways: on the one hand, they increase bank returns (through both ROE and ROA), while on the other hand, they reduce bank riskiness (via negative effects on NPL and positive effects on LLR). The study concludes that those interaction effects significantly sustain the stability of the African banking system. The SS African states (via their central banks) should promote farming finance services and enforce a minimum ratio of farming loans for each commercial bank’s credit portfolio as a solution to the investment deficiency in the sector. Hence, this can solve food production level issues, ensure food security, and effectively sustain both the banking system and real economic development.

“…Carthy and Berry converge on introducing the concept of sustainability in food security analysis (Berry et al, 2015;Mc Carthy et al, 2018). One study in Thailand suggested twelve indicators linked with 41 requirements to measure little progress toward sustainable rice farming for policy making (Mungkung et al, 2022). Phillip used Kabeer gender analysis and empowerment to assess inequalities in sustainable agriculture intensification (Grabowski et al, 2021), while Corlos found disparity in the sustainability performance of fruits and vegetable production (Moreno-Miranda & Dries, 2022).…”

The impact of African agriculture production on bank stability through bank risk and profit

The African farming sector suffers from insufficient finance. Climate changes and socio-political issues hold down the required production level while food on the continent is still inadequate, with more vulnerable people on the one side. On the other side, credit institutions need reasons and guarantees to raise their risk-taking level (financial benefits). Then, this study tries to conciliate those two sides with new shreds of evidence by demonstrating the short and long-run effects of agricultural production on bank sustainability in 40 Sub-Saharan African countries. The study used different agro-production factors (Food and Cereal production factors), bank stability proxies (Liquidity Ratio, NPLs, LLRs), and bank profitability proxies (ROA and ROE). The GMM, DFE, and FMOLS models were used for short (with the 2010-2019 dataset) and long-run analysis (with the 1970-2018 dataset). The results demonstrated that agricultural production increases bank stability and profitability but reduces bank risks. The study concludes that farming finance increases agro-production and stabilizes banks (win-win). Governments, via central banks, should encourage commercial banks to increase bank risk-taking levels to sustain their banking system, increase farming production, and improve food security.

“…The use of appropriate mechanization technologies plays an important role in achieving high energy-use efficiency in the farm. Good governance and energy-use efficiency are among the performance indicators of sustainable agricultural practices [3]. There are differences in the level of mechanization in rice production systems in the different provinces of the Philippines.…”

This paper examined the socio-demographic, economic, and mechanization profiles of rice farmers in Butuan City, Philippines. The study was conducted using stratified random sampling survey methodology. In terms of sociodemographics, majority of rice farmers are male and above 50 years old. Furthermore, most farmers lack college degrees. Cost and return analysis show a benefit-cost ratio of 0.36. The average net profit per hectare is only Php 16,211. This paper determine the level of mechanization in terms of hp/ha and power sources. Results showed that Butuan City has a 3.5742 hp/ha, which is significantly still low. It is justifiable because most of the power sources of farmers' operations in the city are performed manually, especially in planting and crop care management. Land preparation and harvesting are done mainly mechanically, with 0.71 hp/ha and 1.85 hp/ha, respectively being the two highest mechanization indices in all rice production operations in Butuan City.
