A case study design was employed, including both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The study found that local duck production was a profitable enterprise for farmers, but they faced several constraints that limited their productivity, including disease outbreaks, poor nutrition, inadequate housing, and lack of access to credit and markets. The study highlights the need to improve local duck production by providing farmers with access to extension services, credit, and markets and training on best management practices.
Each region of the Fergana Valley is characterized by its strong management centers, the diversity of natural resources, the general agro-climatic factors, the availability and the potential for the creation of a finished product production system. For this reason, it is advisable to work out prospective directions for the deployment and development of productive forces. At the same time, it is important to fully utilize the capabilities of the main sector in the organized economic system of the region. The future development of productive forces in this area is inseparably linked with agro-industrial production and its sectoral and regional improvement. In addition, the interregional production system, which is based on the continuous growth of food production in the regions, the intensification of intersectoral communications, the expansion of the role of intensive factors, in turn, will increase the demand for complex scientific forecasts. At this stage, the scientific forecasting should reflect the activities of the food market and facilitate the expansion of foreign markets. The region's participation in the world economy opens the way for further stages of social and economic development. At the same time, the emphasis should be on the sustainable improvement of the elastic business structure, adapted to the changing competition inherent to the market economy. The main task of the food market in the Ferghana Valley in the near and long-term perspective is to increase production efficiency and bring the level of material welfare of the population to the world's leading countries on the basis of equalizing social and economic development in the regions. This, in its turn, is a very complex and urgent issue, not only with the radical changes in the economy, but also with a change in the lives of the whole society and, consequently, the acceleration of its development. In this regard, this article elaborates the forecasts of the food market in the Ferghana Valley
for 2020-2030 and its alternative scenarios. The first scenario is based on a retrospective analysis of food production in the Ferghana Valley. In the second scenario, the population's food supply is calculated based on the minimum consumer budget, while the third scenario provides the regions' food supply coefficients and supply estimates. On the basis of the analysis of the forecast parameters of the Ferghana Valley Food Market and its results, scientific-practical conclusions have been developed.
This paper focus on International Rubber on production and marketing trade in Nigeria .Rubber in Nigeria was one of the major export ranking after cocoa, groundnuts, cotton, and palm products. It was a product that provided income to rural people of Edo, Delta Rivers, Ondo, Abia, Akwa, Ibom, cross river and Imo state. However, rubber production in Nigeria has gone into precipitate decline due to neglect, therefore pushing Nigeria fro first position to fourth among the producing countries in Africa. Ironically, rubber export would wide has assumed a new dimension as one of the leading export commodities because of increasing world market price. At a price of about U$1,500 per metric tonn, rubber presently is one of the highest priced agricultural products in the international market surpassing traditional products such as cocoa, coffee/tea, cotton, palm products etc. Forecast by experts predict further rise in rubber price as a result of various factors including, rising demand in china, and high cost of processing synthetic rubber as a result of rising cost of crude oil. Despite the potentials and the market opportunity which the international market offers, Nigeria rubber production is declining against increasing production in neighboring countries like Cameroom, liberai and cote D’ivore.

Since colonial times, coffee and cocoa have been cash crops in Côte d'Ivoire. These crops are grown in forest areas. The N'Zi Region was one of the largest production areas. According to Yapi A., and Kouadio T., (1988, quoted by Aloko NG et al., 2014, p 309), in terms of area, this region occupied between 22% and 28% of cultivated areas with 28% of national production from 1950 to 1968. From 1969 to 1972, this proportion fell to less than 22%. Today, the N'zi region, headed by the Dimbokro Department, contributes 11% of national cocoa production (CI CTF report, 2006, p15). Cocoa plantations, once the pride of the local population, are in retreat in favor of cashew. It is this observation that forms the basis of our study, which aims to assess the manifestations of the cocoa crisis and its consequences in Dimbokro. The methodology adopted is based on documentary research on the one hand, and a field survey on the other. The documentary research enabled us to consult various documents relating to this subject. As for the field survey, a questionnaire was sent to fifty (50) randomly selected farmers in 5 localities based on their cashew production levels. In addition, interviews were conducted with managers of supervisory bodies (ANADER and OLAM) and with cooperatives. The data collected showed that the cocoa crisis is manifesting itself in several ways, notably in the reduction in the number of cocoa producers and the drop in yield per hectare. Meanwhile, cashew production is showing convincing results due to a number of factors.
