Target export crops with weak enterprise returns.

Verified published formula · Enterprise gross margin

Enterprise gross margin — fictional 2025 examples

Method. Gross margin = saleable output × realized price − variable costs. Divide by matching hectares for margin/ha; variable-cost break-even price = variable costs / output.

Next step. Review evidence. Choose a feasible enterprise option, adjust variable inputs, or review price and yield risk.

Inputs, example and sources

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations · Farm Management for Asia A Systems Approach
Institution publication · Chapter 4, Gross margin and section 4.7.1

Per-hectare and variable-cost break-even outputs are algebraic rearrangements. Local costs, prices and interpretation still need confirmation.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Saleable output [kg]; Realized price [LKR/kg]; Variable costs [LKR]; Matching crop area [ha]

Other required evidence. Crop; harvested output; realized prices; variable costs; cultivated hectares.

Affordability does not prove feasibility or scientific suitability. A missing mandatory condition keeps an option unresolved.

Proposed checking role. Export-crop agronomist and market/quality specialist.

After the action. Verified benefits, costs and adverse effects versus the agreed baseline.

  • SHARED domain decision contracts — Validation required. Domain decision rules and matching fictional examples. Local comparisons, constraints, source matching, sorting and follow-up proposals; developer checks do not establish scientific or client approval.

Prioritize erosion control in sloping export-crop lands.

Verified published formula · USLE factor product

Estimated annual sheet/rill loss — fictional 2025 examples

Method. R × K × LS × C × P, using a mutually consistent SI factor set.

Next step. Review evidence. Compare feasible treatments, select sites for expert appraisal, or commission missing measurements.

Inputs, example and sources

United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service · A Guide for Predicting Sheet and Rill Erosion on Forest Land
Government publication · 1980 technical publication SA-TP 11; Universal Soil Loss Equation, printed page 2; metric conversion appendix, printed page 40

The historical source verifies the factor product. Local factor choice and suitability still need confirmation; this is not a full RUSLE2 implementation.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Rainfall erosivity [MJ mm/(ha h year)]; Soil erodibility [t ha h/(ha MJ mm)]; Slope-length and steepness factor [ratio]; Cover-management factor [fraction]; Support-practice factor [fraction]

Other required evidence. Erosivity; soil erodibility; slope; cover; conservation practices; site.

20. Compare export-crop support outcomes beyond participationDEC-DP09-020 · Programme evaluation · Suggested priority: Medium
Try this decision

Evaluate export-crop support outcomes beyond participation.

Verified published formula · Difference-in-differences arithmetic

Difference in changes — fictional 2025 examples

Method. (Treatment after−before) − (comparison after−before), using the same outcome definition and periods.

Next step. Supply study-design evidence. Continue, adapt, expand or stop a programme based on defensible outcome evidence.

Inputs, example and sources

World Bank · Impact Evaluation in Practice Second Edition
Institution publication · Chapter 7, table 7.2, printed page 140, PDF page 170

The formula is verified. Causal interpretation still requires a defensible study design, comparison and assumptions.

Keep the same place, observation period, definitions, units and source versions.

Analysis inputs. Treatment Enterprise gross margin before [LKR/ha]; Treatment Enterprise gross margin after [LKR/ha]; Comparison Enterprise gross margin before [LKR/ha]; Comparison Enterprise gross margin after [LKR/ha]; Study design and comparability evidence; Outcome definition, method and reference basis

Other required evidence. Supported growers; baseline margin; follow-up margin; comparison group; market conditions.

The arithmetic alone does not establish causation. Design, parallel trends, confounding, attrition, uncertainty and adverse effects need appropriate evidence.

Proposed checking role. Export-crop agronomist and market/quality specialist.

After the action. Verified outcomes, costs, distributional effects and evidence strength.

  • World Bank Impact Evaluation in Practice Second Edition — Institution publication. Chapter7 difference-in-differences. Published difference-in-differences estimator and study assumptions; aggregate examples do not establish causation.
  • SHARED domain decision contracts — Validation required. Domain decision rules and matching fictional examples. Local comparisons, constraints, source matching, sorting and follow-up proposals; developer checks do not establish scientific or client approval.

5. Documents and images

Your institution has its own document and image library. Use the same library for reports, photos and other evidence.

Department of Export Agriculture Documents and images prototype screen
Department of Export Agriculture. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Documents and images. Check the institution name.
  2. Use All files, Documents or Images to find a file. Open its preview or download the original.
  3. Use a sample file to try Add file. Private is the starting choice. Public needs a source, permission to share and review.
  4. Use Access preview to try the institution reviewer and Public visitor views.

Files added in the prototype stay in this browser. Public sharing is an access preview. Existing public reference links already work online.

What your institution needs to confirm

6. Data structure management

Data structure keeps the existing source tree, records, charts and map. Manage structure adds a place to propose changes to definitions.

Department of Export Agriculture Data structure management prototype screen
Department of Export Agriculture. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Data structure and choose Manage structure.
  2. Use Add base domain for a main information area. Add inside creates a subject area, a nested subject, an entity type or a field under the right parent.
  3. Give the definition a clear name, code and meaning. Reuse an existing definition when the meaning is the same.
  4. For a field, check the data type, unit, required value, limits and missing-value rule. Save a Draft, then try the separate reviewer view.

An entity type means a kind of thing or event, such as a reservoir or an inspection. Drafts stay in this browser. A demo approval does not change real definitions, data, chart links or sharing rights.

7. Users and access

User management shows example profiles for each institution. People and Roles and access let you review the proposed account screens.

Department of Export Agriculture Users and access prototype screen
Department of Export Agriculture. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open User management and choose the institution. The rows are examples, not a list of your staff.
  2. Use View access to check a role. An administrator title alone does not give access to Private files.
  3. Try Preview invitation or Preview access change. Check the role, start date, optional end date and reason.
  4. Review the example permissions and tell us which job roles should receive each one.

These are interface previews only. They create no account, send no email and change no access. Use example details in the preview. Institution verification does not grant a real permission.

What your institution needs to confirm

8. Can you share data regularly?

We currently use public data and published reports where available. Please confirm whether your institution can provide data directly, so we can avoid retyping or reading figures from PDFs.

Do not enter passwords, access keys or private account details.
