Evaluating and Recognising Biological Assets and Agricultural Activities According to IAS 41
Full text linkThe International Accounting Standard IAS 41 – Agriculture prescribes accounting treatment, financial sheet drawing and information related to biological assets and agricultural activities from the harvesting point. This standard does not treat the processing of produce obtained after harvesting, because this process is described by IAS 2 – Stoks. International accounting standard-IAS 41-Agriculture does not contain specific information related to how often one should evaluate biological assets, deducing that the evaluation must be conducted on each closing date, because there are no existent regulations to stipulate a less frequent evaluation of biological assets. This standard presents the general idea that the fair value can be realistically estimated by using deductive hierarchy, which this article will debate, for a better understanding of initial evaluation and consecutive evaluation of biological assets. IAS 41 is treating the management of biological assets: increasing the agricultural output, logging, plant cultivation; horticulture and aquaculture. The biological alteration is the process of growing, ageing, production and procreation of biological assets; these alteration lead to new agricultural produce, or transformation of other biological assets. In addition, IAS 41 does not contain any specific information referring how often one should estimate the biological assets. We can conclude that that the estimation must be conducted on each closure, because the standard does not state any information on how frequent the estimation must be run. As explanation, IASB stated the availability of fair values on relative expected costs, and the consistent progress of biological transformations. In the case of biological assets or agricultural produce that are similar, IAS 41 allows grouping them in order to simplify the fair value estimation. The relevant characteristics for grouping the assets are: nature, naturalness, consumption possibility, and quality and production capacity

Effective Utilization of Investments in Agriculture: A Case Study of Uzbekistan
Full text linkOne of the most pressing questions for Uzbekistan is how government investment can be put to good use in agriculture, which faces challenges like limited access to finance, outdated technology and climate change. The study employs a qualitative method of interviews with farmers and government officials, followed by quantitative analysis of data from secondary psychological studies. Some of the key findings are that access to affordable financing for small-scale farmers is hard to come by with antiquated agricultural practices stifling productivity. On the flip side, the government initiative, such as Uzbek Green Finance Initiative has paved the way in technology adoption with an increased emphasis on precision agriculture and climate-smart investments. This paper shows how the modernization of irrigation systems and infrastructure has potential to increase agricultural production. Results also highlight the need for climate-smart agriculture investments to mitigate risks that cannot be adapted to as a result of climate change. The study finds that a conducive policy environment, especially regulatory reforms and special economic zones, is crucial for attracting investment. Policy implications should continuously create positive change for sustainable agricultural development, which can be further bolstered through continuous reforms in finance technology and climate being ended
