    15 pages, The potato crop is considered one of the most important vegetable crops which have the ingredients to increase its exports to the foreign markets. In the period 2006- 2022, the volume of potato exports in the world ranged from 7.89 million tons in 2006 to about 12.3 million Ton in 2022, reflecting the increase in the quantity of world exports by about 24.20% from the average international exports during the study period estimated at about 9.8 million tons during the study period, the world price of potato exports has ranged from $ 217 / ton in 2006 to about $ 373 / ton in 2022, reflecting an increase in the price of world exports by about 25.69% from the average international exports during the study period estimated at about 272.76 $/tons during the study, with an annual increase rate of about 0.02% of the world average potato price during the study period, World potato imports show that the average world potato imports were estimated at 5.05 million tons during the study period (2006-2022) and ranged from a minimum of about 7.66 million tons in 2007 to a maximum of 18.75 million tons in 2022, an increase of about 35.9% from the annual average during the study period. The results indicate that the average quantity of Egyptian imports of potatoes was about 92 thousand tons during the study period and ranged between a minimum of about 48 thousand tons in 2006 and a maximum of about 218 thousand tons in 2021, an increase of about 91.66% on the average of Egyptian potato imports during the study period, the direct correlation between the average quantity of potato imports of Egypt during the studied period shows that it increases annually by a statistical certainty of about 0.47 thousand tons representing about 0.51% of the average quantity of Egyptian imports from The yield was 92.000 tons during the study period .The import price of potatoes during the period (2006-2022) ranged between a minimum of about 486 dollars / ton in 2006 and a maximum of about 1023 dollars / ton in 2022, reflecting the increase in the price of Egyptian imports of potatoes 50.7 the average price of potato imports in Egypt, estimated at 679 $ / ton, shows that the average price of potato imports increased annually by a statistical certainty of about 0.16 USD / ton, an increase of about 0.02% average import price of potatoes during the study period As shown by the study of the competitiveness indicators of the Egyptian potato, the markets of the EU countries are considered the main importer of Egyptian potatoes.

    26 pages, Commercial restrictions limit the extent of women's participation in the South African economy despite gender equality being valued. Since the implementation of The Women Empowerment Project in 1999, the agricultural sector's contribution has not yet been fully quantified. Women’s opportunities, challenges, and roles in agriculture must be explored further by evaluating resource management strategies and policies. This study aimed to quantify women's empowerment in agriculture using descriptive research methodology. Data were collected and statistically analysed using the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) to identify the origin and extent of female farmers' difficulties. Satisfactory outcomes in production, leadership, assets, income, and time usage were more strongly associated with empowerment than demographic variables, and time available contributed the most to women feeling disempowered. Overall, women reported feeling more empowered compared to men. Disempowerment in male respondents as the control group was attributed to time, workload, and resources. In future studies, gender policies should be further developed to incorporate gender dimension, gender budgeting and sex-disaggregated data administration.

    Notes:
    13 pages, The purpose of this paper is to consider role of branding agricultural products in better market valorization. The benefit of branding is especially significant for rural and insufficiently developed environment. The problems of rural environments are multidimensional, but revitalization and improvement of development leads to strengthening competitiveness of these areas. The higher price of products enables the increase of income of agricultural workers, as well as diversification of the rural economy and creation of conditions of better socioeconomic aspects in rural environments. Creation of a more desirable image of an agricultural product most often has a strong reflection on the area of origin, as well as on reformation of the social attitude towards that environment. Branded products and services have a higher market value, due to which legal aspects enabling not only branding, but maintenance of a brand as well, are of special significance.

    Notes:
    Building on Robin D. G. Kelley's (1998) argument that hip hop constitutes a form of play-labor for working-class black youth, this article argues that the creation of hip hop as a form of racialized play-labor in the 1970s constitutes an Afro-diasporic labor regime and can best be understood as such when located within a specific period of racial capitalism in the United States characterized by a low demand for formal black labor. Accordingly, this paper argues that the emergence of hip hop in the South Bronx can be explained by the way in which several social-political factors dictated by the needs of the world economy converged with the resistance and labor of black people in the United States and the Anglo-Caribbean in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
