Abstract: |
A case study was carried out to assess the benefit on cultivating rainy season vegetable crops in the Koshi hills of Nepal. The study was carried out across the Dharan-Tehratlmm road corridor from Mttlghat (400m) of Dhankuta districts to Basantpur (2200m) of Tehratlwm districts. Five major rainy season vegetable crops namely: cabbage. cauliflower, radish, pea and tomato were included in the study. The infomwtion 011 radish and cabbage was collected form Basalllpur, cauliflower and peas from Sidlmwa and tomato from Mulghat. Data collected during study were analyzed by using computer software. Maize is the major altemate crop to the vegetables in rainy season and the net return received by the famJers from maize production was only Rs. 607 per ropani. In the recent years, cabbage, radish, cauliflower and peas cultivation after potato han•esting has increased instead of maize. The net profit from cabbage, cauliflower, tomato radish and peas was found 11 times, 5.5 times, 13.8 times, 20 times, 6.1 times and 6.4 times higher than maize production while Average Variable Cost (AVC) wasfowzd Rs. 1.17, 2.83, 3.37, 0.64 and 3.33 respectively. The existing field price was observed profitable 011 cultivation of rainy season vegetables though marketing margin was considerably high. It can be cone/ruled that the rainy season vegetable production in hills is highly profitable. |
