This study presents the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) functioning among young farmers in Tanzania. The AIS approach's preference for development results from its inclusiveness and interactions among the actors in influencing each other into learning and innovation. Young farmers in Tanzania are key actors in AIS functioning, but their ability to influence other actors using ICTs to maximize their crop productivity is contentious.

Simulating Water Vapor Removal in Glycol Gas Dehydration Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Analysis of Natural Gas and Dry Nitrogen
Ume Cyril Sunday*, Nnadikwe Johnson, Nwosi Hezekiah Andrew
Among other fossil fuels, natural gas is a major energy source. It is generally created saturated with water vapor. Dehydration of natural gas is vital in the gas business to remove water vapor from the gas supply, which may cause hydrate development in pipes. Gas dehydration employs Tri ethylene glycol (TEG) to remove water vapor from natural gas flow. The wet gas is dehydrated with lean glycol i
Prevalence of Aflatoxin Contamination along the Groundnut Value Chain Actors in Different Agro-Ecology and Evaluation of Groundnut Varieties for Resistant to Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin Contamination in Eastern Ethiopia
Ephrem Guchi, Amare Ayalew, Belachew Asalf
Aflatoxins are common contaminants in groundnut and pose considerable risk to human health and have significant economic implication. Although, aflatoxin contamination of groundnut could occur in the field,in storage and during marketing, the level of contamination may vary along the value chain. The objective of this study was to determine level of aflatoxin concentration in groundnut along the v

Farm-level Crop Price as a Factor for Increased Maize Production in Ludewa District, Tanzania: Estimation of Koyck Lag Model
Mirau Mbise, Sospeter Jibunge Charles
Farm-level crop price is an important predictor of production increase, yet, little has been done about how food crop production is responsive to the expected price. Hence, this paper uses primary data to analyze the contribution of expected farm-level prices to the current production of crops. The primary data was collected from 427 sampled household heads through the interview conducted using an
