Uzbekistan is paying great attention to the textile industry as an industry offering a traditional production advantage, coming to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish and implement effective policies. In Uzbekistan as in other developing countries, whereas there are many strategic directions and development strategies to be considered for key industries, investment resources are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize and to apply limited resources accordingly. Even though research on the textile industry in Uzbekistan is ongoing for a long time, most of the resultant literature concerns only general industrial trends and pertinent investment and advancement strategies. The present study examined sustainable, concrete, and effective development strategy directions for the Uzbekistan textile industry using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model. The SWOT-AHP model was tested in a case study on Uzbekistan’s textile industry. In the case study, the results were presented in an illustrative way by utilizing the quantitative information achieved by the model. The results indicated that the weakness and opportunity (WO) strategy had the highest importance, and suggested accordingly that priority should be given to that strategy for Uzbekistan’s textile industry development. The results further suggested that the Uzbekistan government should endeavor to upgrade obsolescent technology and solve the problems of high-priced imported raw materials and workers’ low education level, which are weak points of the textile industry of that country. Also, Uzbekistan should gradually shift the industrial structure from raw cotton to finished textile exportation, which offers relatively high added economic value. To achieve this, the Uzbek government needs to promote joint ventures and strategic alliances with foreign companies wishing to enter the textile industry through foreign direct investment (FDI) schemes.

Pepper is one of the most popular herbs from Aceh plantations. Especially pepper farmers in Aceh are now starting to pay attention to pepper to be developed with the aim of increasing income and welfare. In other words, Pepper became the most popular commodity in the world trade. Because various countries use this pepper as a spice cooking kitchen. On the other hand, due to the development of food business, the development of pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics using pepper as one of the raw materials, the increasing of world consumption, domestic consumption is increasing with the increase of pepper based food industry products. As a result of high pepper demand causes problems for Acehnese farmers in the limitations of pepper production. One of them agricultural land converted into non-agricultural such as housing, buildings and shops. So that agricultural land becomes reduced and become a problem for pepper farmers themselves in developing pepper. Other causes of problems are also caused by pests and diseases, especially wilt disease, leaf curling disease and stem rot disease. Research Objectives to determine the factors that are considered in the development of pepper, as well as to know the appropriate pepper development strategy. The research method used is case study method. Technique Data collection is used with interview approach.

In geochemical prospecting for gold a major difficulty is that many values are below the chemical detection limit. Tracers for gold thus play an important role in the evaluation of multivariate geochemical data. In this case study we apply geostatistical methods presented in Wackernagel (1988) to multielement exploration data from a prospect near Limoges, France. The analysis relies upon a metallogenetic model by Bonnemaison and Marcoux (1987, 1990) describing auriferous mineralization in shear zones of the Limousin. The aim of geochemical exploration is to find deposits of raw materials. What is a deposit? It is a geological anomaly which has a significant average content of a given raw material and enough spatial extension to have economic value. The geological body denned by an anomaly is generally buried at a specific depth and may be detectable at the surface through indices. These indices, which we shall call superficial anomalies, are disposed in three manners: at isolated locations, along faults, and as dispersion halos. These two definitions of the word "anomaly" correspond to a vision of the geological phenomenon in its full continuity. Yet in exploration geochemistry only a discrete perception of the phenomenon is possible through samples taken along a regularly meshed grid. A superficial anomaly thus can be apprehended by one or several samples or it can escape the grip of the geochemist when it is located between the nodes of the mesh. A geochemical anomaly, in the strict sense, only exists at the nodes of the sampling grid and we shall distinguish between: a pointwise anomaly defined on a single sample, and a groupwise anomaly defined on several neighboring samples. This distinction is important both upstream, for the geological interpretation of geochemical measurements, and downstream, at the level of geostatistical manipulation of the data. It will condition an exploration strategy on the basis of the data representations used in this case study. A pointwise anomaly, i.e., a high, isolated value of the material being sought, will correspond either to a geological phenomenon of limited extent or to a well hidden deposit.

Abstract. Agriculture of Kabardino-Balkariya is among the most developed in Russia. It is also a system-forming branch of the regional economy with huge resources and potential. At the same time, there has been a slowdown in the industry in recent years. The reason for the latter is seen in the exhaustion of the existing model of growth development. Therefore, future growth in the industry is associated with the transition to a new model, the emphasis on the development of new sectors and segments. Exports of food and agricultural raw materials are an important segment of the industry. However, exports are strongly related to the production and industry specialization of the national economy. It is considered promising to develop new competitive advantages based on existing ones. At the expense of the export segment are not only the inflow of foreign currency, but also modernize the industry. However, this appears to be a sufficient share of exports in both GRP and gross domestic product or a particular sector of the national economy. Currently, the share of exports in gross agricultural output in the KBR between 2010 and 2018. exceeded 2 %. Practice shows (and the theory suggests) that this is not enough for the effective development of both the export segment in the national economy of the KBR and its agricultural sector, as well as for the development of agriculture and agriculture in the region. The aim of the work is to identify the main commodity, technological and communication and logistics trends in the development of KBR food exports, on the basis of which to develop measures to increase the level of exports and stimulate export potential in the regional agricultural sector. The study used a set of analytical (index, correlation, dispersion), and descriptive methods. Results: Identified, formalized and quantified links between different sectors and the Agricultural segment and the export of food and agricultural raw materials. The novelty of the results lies in the identification of "empirical trends" in the realization of the export potential of the KBR AIC, through which one of the main provisions of the modern export development strategy, consisting in increasing exports of traditional products, is corrected. Unlike the latter, our proposal is to create new markets, communications and logistics, as well as value chains with elongated and concentrated centers of these chains in the region. This provision allows to form an "export-oriented platform" in the regional economy.

With the increasing of digitization and massive adoption of advanced technologies in the various industries such as automotive, food, electronic goods etc. not only transform the equipment manufacturer’s operating mode, but also changing the business models. In particular textile industry, the raw materials are collected from different other industries, end products are manufactured, distributed and sold globally. Supply chain and logistics, in particular, are considered as fertile ground for a blockchain implementation due to the several parties involved in the logistic processes and the lack of trust that usually characterize the industry. In this paper, we addressed the automatic textile industry supply chain as case study, in which we present a non – destructive way of ensuring the traceability of different operational modes of supply chain. We have implemented automatic block chain-based framework, which helps track and trace every mode of operation in supply chain. The proposed framework is simulated in Ethereum platform and the result shows the proof – of – concept of proposed model that can be used for wide range of future smart applications.
