A Study on Cost Control of Agricultural Water Conservancy Projects Based on Activity-based Costing

Based on the theory of activity-based costing and the idea of value chain,activity optimization and cost control are carried out on the whole construction process of agricultural water conservancy projects. Through the use of literature review,case analysis and statistical analysis and other methods,with agricultural water conservancy projects as the research object,and comparing activity-based costing with the traditional model of cost accounting,the writer carries out the corresponding value chain analysis,and comes to the following conclusion: the statistical calculation and analysis of the entire construction process based on activity-based costing can accurately and effectively control the costs of water conservancy projects. Through the use of activity-based costing,the cost data of agricultural water conservancy projects is more detailed and accurate,and cost management personnel can also find non-value-added activities,optimize the enterprise's value chain and achieve cost control objectives through the analysis of the activity chain and value chain of agricultural water conservancy projects.

China agricultural outlook for 2015–2024 based on China Agricultural Monitoring and Early-warning System(CAMES)

The primary goal of Chinese agricultural development is to guarantee national food security and supply of major agricultural products. Hence, the scientiifc work on agricultural monitoring and early warning as wel as agricultural outlook must be strengthened. In this study, we develop the China Agricultural Monitoring and Early-warning System (CAMES) on the basis of a comparative study of domestic and international agricultural outlook models. The system is a dynamic and multi-market partial equilibrium model that integrates biological mechanisms with economic mechanisms. This system, which includes 11 categories of 953 kinds of agricultural products, could dynamical y project agricultural market supply and demand, assess food security, and conduct scenario analysis at different spatial levels, time scale levels, and macro-micro levels. Based on the CAMES, the production, consumption, and trade of the major agricultural products in China over the next decade are projected. The fol owing conclusions are drawn:i) The production of major agricultural products wil continue to grow steadily, mainly because of the increase in yield. i ) The growth of agricultural consumption wil be slightly higher than that of agricultural production. Meanwhile, a high self-sufifciency rate is expected for cereals such as rice, wheat, and maize, with the rate being stable at around 97%. i i) Agricultural trade wil continue to thrive. The growth of soybean and milk im-ports wil slow down, but the growth of traditional agricultural exports such as vegetables and fruits is expected to continue.

A Study on the Funding Management of Agricultural Scientific Research Project in the New Situation

The agricultural scientific research project funding is an important prerequisite for the implementation of agricultural scientific research project,and an essential basic condition to support agricultural research. In recent years,China has paid great attention to the development of scientific research,and increased the input of scientific research funds,but there are some shortcomings in funding management during the implementation of the project. Based on many years of practice,this paper expounds the main problems in the current funding management for agricultural scientific research project,and brings forward the relevant recommendations,in order to provide a reference for the scientific management of agricultural scientific research project funding in the new situation.

SWOT analysis on snail control measures applied in the national schistosomiasis control programme in the People’s Republic of China

Background:Snail control is an important component in the national schistosomiasis control programme in China,by application of chemical molluscicides,forestry projects,agriculture projects and water conservancy projects in recent decades.However,there are still wide areas of snail inhabited in China which remains a great challenge to achieve the goal of schistosomiasis elimination by 2025.Therefore,a SWOT(strengths,weaknesses,opportunities and threats)analysis on snail control measures is required for precision schistosomiasis control.Methods:The SWOT approach,which is a well-known structured analysis tool,was used to identify and evaluate the specific characteristics of four types of snail control measures in China,including chemical mollusciciding,forestry,agriculture,and water conservancy projects.The analysis were carried out based on the information collection from literature review,of research papers,books,annual report database of national schistosomiasis control programme in China,reports from the academic forums,and so on.Results:For chemical mollusciciding,application strategy needs to focus on specific local settings,such as stage of schistosomiasis control,environmental factors,and limitations from external policies and internal deficiencies.Regarding forestry projects,the optimal strategies are to cooperate with other national forestry programmes to share the investment costs and pay attention on wetland protection.In agriculture projects,it is necessary to develop related cash crop industries and combine with national farmland consolidation projects simultaneously to increase the total economic benefits.Concerning water conservancy projects,the main purpose is to control snail migration from snail area to snail-free areas nationwide.Conclusions:Integrated strategies for various measures application and a top-level designed cooperation mechanism will be the necessary to eliminate snail and schistosomiasis in China.
