Recent different literature argued that China‟s agriculture sector contribution to economic development is deteriorating. The agriculture sector contribution with regard to Agriculture GDP contribution, agriculture employment, and foreign exchange earnings were decreased. The present study is undertaken to investigate the contribution of industrial policies to the Agriculture sector of China during the period from 2007 to 2018. Simple regression model employed as a methodology to investigate the contribution of industrial policies to the agriculture sector in China during the period from 2007 to 2018. The data of all agriculture macro-economic variables applied in this study (Economic openness, Agriculture GDP, Agriculture Food Production, and Employment in Agriculture) were collected from the World Bank for the whole period from 2007 to 2018. In order to investigate the contribution of Industrial policies to the agriculture sector in China, industrial policies were represented by the economic openness which stands as independent variable, while agriculture GDP, Agriculture food production and employment in agriculture were dependent variables in the study. The information discovered in the study was in actual fact catching the attention. Information discovered as a result of the investigation shows that relationship between Economic openness and Agriculture GDP is Negative, While the relationship between economic openness and other Agriculture macro-economic variables (Agriculture Food Production and Agriculture Employment) is Positive and meaningfully during the period from 2009 to 2018 in China. That means Industrial policies had meaningful contribution to Agriculture Food production and Agriculture Employment, While Industrial policies had no contribution to Agriculture GDP during the period from 2009 to 2018 in China.

Machine learning is an emerging field of artificial intelligence which can be applied to the agriculture sector. It refers to the automated detection of meaningful patterns in a given data.  Modern agriculture seeks ways to conserve water, use nutrients and energy more efficiently, and adapt to climate change.  Machine learning in agriculture allows for more accurate disease diagnosis and crop disease prediction. This paper briefly introduces what machine learning can do in the agriculture sector.

Agriculture sector in India is facing rigorous problem to maximize crop productivity. More than 60 percent of the crop still depends on climatic factors like rainfall, temperature, humidity. This paper discusses the use of various Data Mining applications in agriculture sector. Data Mining is used to solve various problems in agriculture sector. It can be used it to solve yield prediction.  The problem of yield prediction is a major problem that remains to be solved based on available data. Data mining techniques are the better choices for this purpose. Different Data Mining techniques are used and evaluated in agriculture for estimating the future year's crop production. In this paper we have focused on predicting crop yield productivity of kharif & Rabi Crops.

This paper assesses the impacts of financial integration in the Asia Economic Community (AEC) on the capacity of finance and provision of financial services of Vietnamese commercial banks. In recent years, Vietnamese commercial banks have achieved some successes as reflected in the growth indicators of operation scales, charter capital and total assets. However, under the pressure of integration, the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) fell slightly in 2016 resulting from the applying of the CAR calculation method to commercial banks in accordance with the new regulations towards step by step approaching international standards. Compared to other countries in the AEC, the capacity of finance and provision of financial services of the Vietnamese commercial banks remains low. As a result, it is necessary to carry out synchronous and drastic measures in the coming time to enhance the competitiveness of the Vietnamese commercial banks.

Technology united with research and development has evolved as a grave differentiator of the agriculture sector in India including production, processing, and agriculture packing and marketing of given crops. Near about 50 percent of the Indian workforce was engaged in the agriculture sector but its share in GDP was only 14 percent, much lower in comparison to former. Though, certain agriculture items showed a steady annual increase in terms of kilograms per hectare. Agriculture transformed significantly over the past few decades but when it comes to investment in research and development there is a lot more which needs to be done. The paper analyzes the role of various research and development institutions in boosting the growth of the agriculture sector that helps in attaining sustainable agriculture development and self-sufficiency in the production process since independence. It also focusesed on the various issues faced by these development institutions. The findings unveiled that since independence a lot more was done to boost the research and development in the agriculture sector at both the center and state levels but a proper implementation of these policies along with transparency could bring more desirable outcomes than were gained at present.
