Increased Coffee Yields Sample Clauses

Increased Coffee Yields. The 2015-2016 coffee harvested by 2,893 growers from 28 RVCP organizations in San Marcos (eight groups) and Huehuetenango (20 groups) yielded 13,865,116 pounds of parchment coffee from plantations on 4,887.9 hectares (average yields of 2,837 pounds per hectare). Coffee harvested by the growers from eight RVCP organizations in San Marcos averaged 2,198 pounds of parchment coffee per hectare, while growers from 20 organizations Huehuetenango attained average yields of 2,948 pounds per hectare. Grower groups worked with RVCP/FEDECOCAGUA to increase yields and reach targets of 3,000 pounds per hectare as one of the expected results over the five-year life of the Project. In the final year of RVCP implementation (FY2017), technicians plan to redouble technical assistance in Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and plantation management. The ANACAFE Coffee Research Center (CEDICAFE in Spanish) continued efforts to monitor the incidence of coffee rust disease. Results show between 20-26% disease prevalence in San Marcos (an average of 24%). The Project therefore continues to improve yields by promoting integrated management of coffee rust disease. To that end, FEDECOCAGUA will provide the 28 grower groups with funding in the amount of GTQ1,050,000 and a phytosanitary implementation plan compliant with the Coffee PERSUAP to curb coffee rust disease. Producers will provide in kind resources totaling GTQ632,357.39 to apply fungicides on approximately 60% of the area in production by RVCP growers.

  • Reallocation to a Class with a Higher Salary Range Maximum Upon appointment to the higher class, the employee’s base salary will be increased to a step of the range for the new class that is nearest to five percent (5.0%) higher than the amount of the pre-promotional step, or to the entry step of the new range, whichever is higher.

  • Reallocation to a Class with a Lower Salary Range Maximum 1. If the employee meets the skills and abilities requirements of the position and chooses to remain in the reallocated position, the employee retains existing appointment status and has the right to be placed on the Employer’s internal layoff list for the classification occupied prior to the reallocation.

Such shift differential shall be in addition to the employee's regular rate of pay and shall be included in all payroll calculations, but shall not apply during periods of paid leave. Employees working the regular day schedule who are required to work overtime or who are called back to work for special projects shall not be eligible for the shift differential.

  • CAISO Monthly Billed Fuel Cost [for Geysers Main only] The CAISO Monthly Billed Fuel Cost is given by Equation C2-1. CAISO Monthly Billed Fuel Cost Equation C2-1 = Billable MWh ◆ Steam Price ($/MWh) Where: • Steam Price is $16.34/MWh. • For purposes of Equation C2-1, Billable MWh is all Billable MWh Delivered after cumulative Hourly Metered Total Net Generation during the Contract Year from all Units exceeds the Minimum Annual Generation given by Equation C2-2. Equation C2-2 Minimum Annual Generation = (Annual Average Field Capacity ◆ 8760 hours ◆ 0.4) - (A+B+C) Where: • Annual Average Field Capacity is the arithmetic average of the two Field Capacities in MW for each Contract Year, determined as described below. Field Capacity shall be determined for each six-month period from July 1 through December 31 of the preceding calendar year and January 1 through June 30 of the Contract Year. Field Capacity shall be the average of the five highest amounts of net generation (in MWh) simultaneously achieved by all Units during eight-hour periods within the six-month period. The capacity simultaneously achieved by all Units during each eight-hour period shall be the sum of Hourly Metered Total Net Generation for all Units during such eight-hour period, divided by eight hours. Such eight-hour periods shall not overlap or be counted more than once but may be consecutive. Within 30 days after the end of each six-month period, Owner shall provide CAISO and the Responsible Utility with its determination of Field Capacity, including all information necessary to validate that determination. • A is the amount of Energy that cannot be produced (as defined below) due to the curtailment of a Unit during a test of the Facility, a Unit or the steam field agreed to by CAISO and Owner. • B is the amount of Energy that cannot be produced (as defined below) due to the retirement of a Unit or due to a Unit’s Availability remaining at zero after a period of ten Months during which the Unit’s Availability has been zero. • C is the amount of Energy that cannot be produced (as defined below) because a Force Majeure Event reduces a Unit’s Availability to zero for at least thirty (30) days or because a Force Majeure Event reduces a Unit’s Availability for at least one hundred eighty (180) days to a level below the Unit Availability Limit immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event. • The amount of Energy that cannot be produced is the sum, for each Settlement Period during which the condition applicable to A, B or C above exists, of the difference between the Unit Availability Limit immediately prior to the condition and the Unit Availability Limit during the condition.

  • Night Shift Differential 1. An employee who works an assigned night shift shall, in addition to his or her regular salary, be paid a night shift differential for each hour actually worked on the assigned night shift.
