The Impact

The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Beef Genetic Technologies operated for its third successive 7-year term from July 2005 to June 2012. It developed new genetic and genomic technologies and non-genetic ‘products’ (practices, processes, tools and technologies) to improve profitability, productivity, animal welfare and responsible resource use of Australian beef businesses. In this paper we assess how well the third-term Beef CRC met its objectives, at the end of its funding period, using the Impact Tool software package developed by the CRC Program of the Commonwealth Government. The Impact Tool generates two commonly used measures of return on investment: the net present value (NPV) and the benefit : cost ratio (BCR). The NPV, the sum of discounted benefits minus the sum of discounted costs, was $233.2 m, when evaluated over the period 2005/06–2020/21. The BCR, the sum of discounted benefits divided by the sum of discounted costs, was 2.94, over the same period. Thus on both measures, investing in the Beef CRC is expected to have been profitable. We conclude by noting that the value of the Impact Tool is not only for ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of the impacts of particular technologies, but it also provides a very effective tool for RD&E project planning.

The study was carried out to investigate profitability of mango farming and to assess the impact of BARI Aam-3 mango variety production on the farmer’s livelihood in four mango growing districts namely Khagrachori, Bandorban, Naogaon, and Satkhira of Bangladesh during February to March, 2018. A total of 128 BARI Aam-3 growers were selected using multi-stage random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics and financial profitability analysis was used to analyze data. The net return for one hectare of mango orchard was Tk. 730233 for 6-7 years of BARI Aam-3 mango orchard. Net present value was estimated to Tk. 444397 for BARI Aam-3 which indicates that mango cultivation fetches higher returns. The estimated benefit cost ratio was 2.01 for BARI Aam-3 which ensures that investment in BARI Aam-3 is feasible for the mango farmers. The BARI Aam-3 mango cultivation was also found to be a profitable enterprise since internal rate of return was very high (83.075%). The results also reveal that human capital increased by 54.34%, 68% and 60.54%; physical capital increased by 48.17%, 58% and 50% as well as social capital increased by 28.50%, 43% and 45.95% of the small, medium and large farmers respectively due to cultivation of BARI Aam-3 mango variety. Therefore, it is highly recommended to spread the information of BARI Aam-3 cultivation as a profitable enterprise among the mango growers throughout the country. Bangladesh J. Agril.

Abstract Multipurpose large dams play a key role in the development of world by providing water for irrigation, flood control and hydropower. Tarbela is one of the world's largest earth and rock fill dam. Being multipurpose dam, it provides vital role for economic stability and social development of Pakistan. Tarbela Reservoir has lost its significant capacity due to sediment deposition. The objective of the study was to evaluate different options for evacuation of deposited sediments and reducing sediment inflows to Tarbela Reservoir through sediment modeling by HEC-RAS. Sediment flushing from existing power tunnels was evaluated in first option and found not feasible due to the downstream constraints and loss of 7848 MW hydropower from Tarbela and Ghazi Barotha. New sediment bypass tunnels were proposed on right bank of the dam to overcome the constraints in second option. Sediment modeling was performed by HEC-RAS to evaluate each scenario of sediment flushing with different parameters. The sediment balance ratio and long term capacity ratio was also checked for each scenario for technical evaluation and also economic analysis was performed. Most technical viable scenario was flushing for 90 days at reservoir drawdown level of 390 m with discharge of 5000m 3 /s. However, this scenario was not economically feasible as net present value was negative, internal rate of return was 3-4 %, and benefit cost ratio was found less than one. The 3 rd option, with under construction multipurpose Diamer Basha Dam on upstream of Tarbela Reservoir, was also evaluated on HEC-RAS. Results depicted that large amount of sediments were trapped in the upstream reservoir which ultimately reduced significantly the inflow of sediments and delta movement in Tarbela Reservoir. This option is recommended because it will enhance the life of Tarbela Reservoir and it will keep on providing multiple benefits for longer time.

The Impact

A conceptual model for analyzing the dynamics of the value of the project, achieved as a result of engineering, under conditions of uncertainty has been developed. In the methodological context, the proposed approach is based on an array of isovalues, each of which corresponds to its own level of optimism in forecasting the cash flow for the project. With the increase in the efficiency of the project due to engineering, the entire array of iso-value lines’ changes its geometrical position, moving further from the origin (in the four-dimensional space "time-benefit-cost-risk"). The proposed model includes three stages. At the first stage, input information is collected and the corresponding analysis is initiated. The result of the second stage is a multivariate cash flow forecast and calculation of the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) and its changes for each scenario. The third stage provides the calculation of the expected BCR and its change, an assessment of the risk of making an erroneous decision and changing this risk as a result of the engineering session. The model makes it possible to calculate the achieved proportion of the static and dynamic vectors of change in the value of the project, which is one of the key manifestations of the scientific novelty of the work. In the example considered, the share of the dynamic vector of growth in the value of the project was found to be 35.47 %. The model has an environmental property - the assessment of the success of value engineering under conditions of uncertainty is carried out on the basis of the annual total benefits and the annual total costs throughout the project cycle. Thus, the analysis takes into account the impact of the project on the environment, which is reflected in the risk assessment. The given case testifies to the feasibility of applying the model in the practice of engineering the value of construction projects.
