How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Efficiency and Technology Gap in European Apple Production—A Metafrontier Model for Germany, Italy, and Poland

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Brownian bridges for contained random walks

AIChE Journal, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Using linear operator techniques, we demonstrate an efficient method for investigating rare events in stochastic processes. Specifically, we examine contained trajectories, which are continuous random walks that only leave a specified region of phase space after a set period of time T.

An integrated scheduling and control scheme with two economic layers for demand side management of chemical processes

AIChE Journal, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Integrated dynamic scheduling (IDS) and economic nonlinear model predictive control (eNMPC) enable economic operation of chemical plants subject to volatile energy prices. Herein, we combine the two concepts into an integrated two‐layer scheme. Therein, IDS performs “long‐horizon” scheduling on a day‐ahead (DA) market and eNMPC “short‐horizon”

Generalized optimization framework for synthesis of thermally coupled distillation columns

AIChE Journal, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract In this article, a generalized optimization framework is proposed for the synthesis of thermally coupled distillation systems within an equation‐oriented environment. The proposed framework consists of three components: an efficient superstructure representation, a novel mathematical formulation, and the associated solution algorithm ...
