“…The current study finding is lower than that finding in Pakistan 89%. 32 A possible reason might be the inclusion of all trimesters of pregnant women in the current study while the previous excluded, the economic inflation impact on food expenditures in the current study, 33 and the majority (87%) of the study participants in the current study were housewives. The current study is also lower than that study conducted in Addis Abeba, 60.90%, 34 Alamata General Hospital, Ethiopia, 61.2%, 35 Kenya, 61%, 36 Indonesia, 57.9%, 37 the discrepancy might be due to the socio-demographic variations such as rural residency in the current study, educational status difference and interventional effect in Adiss Abeba.…”

Background Worldwide 1.2 billion women suffer from micronutrient deficiency. Feeding diversified foods during pregnancy prevents pregnancy complications such as severe anemia, low birth weight, and birth defects. However, the status of minimum dietary diversity and associated factors among pregnant women were not explored in the study area; therefore, this study was conducted at the Arba Minch Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (AMHDSS). Method A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from December 19, 2021, to October 30, 2022, on randomly selected 635 pregnant women. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and measurements of mid-upper arm circumference using a tablet; then exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the characteristics of the study participants and presented by text, figures, and tables. Binary logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with pregnant women MDD-W. Independent variables with a P-value < .05 were considered as associated factors. Findings 98.2% of the pregnant women responded to this survey, more than half, (53.3%) of them achieved MDD-W, and 24.2% of the pregnant women were undernourished. The MDD-W was associated with household food security (AOR = 0.55, CI: .36, .83), meal frequency, (AOR = 1.62, CI: 1.1, 2.5), house ownership (AOR = 0.52, CI: .29, .9), ownership of banana farms (AOR = 1.7, CI: 1.02, 2.8), antenatal follow-up (ANC) (AOR = 1.9, CI: 1.1, 3.3), and occupational status (AOR = 6, CI: 2.1, 17.6). Conclusion The MDD-W outcome in this study was higher than that in other studies. The MDD-W is associated with, ANC follow-up, meal frequency, living in a food-secured household, ownership of a house, and pregnant women's merchant occupation. For optimal pregnancy outcomes; the AMHDSS and stakeholders might need to work in collaboration to increase ANC coverage and meal frequency for pregnant women. In addition, micronutrient supplementation, and increasing the availability/production capacity of food-insecure households are expected.

“…The CPI-MB's breakout of food price inflation's primary drivers is particularly useful because food price volatility is somewhat isolated from overall inflation. It rose at a higher rate (almost 38 percent) than non-food costs did during the same time period [25]. Furthermore, it appears that commodity price volatility also heightens domestic inflation volatility over the medium run.…”

The service and manufacturing sectors grew as mainstream farming declined. Only mainstream farmers contributed to the economy. Agricultural specialties followed. Technology has enhanced grain output for human use, but farmers' satisfaction is crucial. A major goal of this research is to understand the farmer's intentions towards farming. The study is quantitative in nature and takes a deductive, positivist approach. Data were gathered from 350 participants through a structured questionnaire and nonprobability convenience sampling methods. SPSS version 25 and SEM-Amos version 24 were used to analyze the data. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model was used to measure the farmer’s intention, where price risk, biological risk, and climate risk were shown to have a significant negative effect on farmers' intentions toward farming. The calculated value supported the hypothesis. Marketing risk also has a negative impact, but it was found to be insignificant, and the hypothesis was not supported. This study provides valuable insight for policymakers looking to understand why farmers are discouraged from farming when a country must focus on farming to become self-sufficient in its supply of food. Additionally, the study provides some avenues for academics to pursue further research in order to understand why abnormalities occur for such a controllable factor (price risk) and what strategic actions the concern relevant to the nation's farming will take.

“…Also, exchange rate volatility is associated with unpredictability in the economy's relative prices. This means exchange rate stability is one of the most important factors that influence foreign investments, price stability, and economic growth [14][15][16]. Indonesia represents a unique example as a developing country to examine the relationship between the Central Bank rates and exchange rate volatility for three reasons.…”

This research measures the short and long-run effects of central bank policy rate on the volatility of the exchange rate in Indonesia using the quarterly data from Q1 1992 to Q4 2019. The process involves applying an Autoregressive Distribution Lag estimation to investigate the effects of the variables. The exchange rate volatilities include Indonesia Rupiah to US Dollar (IDR-USD), Indonesia Rupiah to Singapore Dollar (IDR-SGD), Indonesia Rupiah to Australia Dollar (IDR-AUD), Indonesia Rupiah to British Pound Sterling (IDR-GBP), and Indonesia Rupiah to Euro (IDR-EURO). Several results were obtained and the first to show the adjustment time for exchange rate volatility to achieve long-run equilibrium was 1.77 quarters to 2.26 quarters using the ARDL estimation. Secondly, a decrease in the central bank rate was found to significantly reduce the exchange rate volatility in the short run and long run. These results are robust since Full Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) estimation was applied for all five models. Furthermore, it was found that in the long run, the central bank policy rate had a significant positive effect on the volatility of the Indonesia Rupiah against five foreign exchange rates. Therefore, it was suggested that the policymakers need to keep the interest rate of the central bank low and stable to ensure the Rupiah exchange rate stability.
