Abstract: |
Because of lack of adequate focus on the research and efficient production system for commercial purpose, the dependency for goat on India has been increasing year after year and a significant amount of Nepalese currencies are being drained to India every year. Not only this, ironically Indian goats are getting better preference in Nepalese · market because, as the consumer say, Indian goats have higher dressing percentage in addition to tenderness than Nepalese goats.In a Kathmandu goat market (Balkhu), where about 0.284 millions goats are sold each year; about 74% goats are brought from India (90%from UP) and 26 %from different parts of Nepal. Approximately Rs. 50 corers Nepalese currency is drained to India every year from that market alone. Maximum importation from India takes place through the towns of UP (Bareily, Etawah, Kalpi, Lakhnow, Barabanki, Kanpur, Fatehpur) via the border gate of Nepalgunj followed by Krishnanagar, Sunauli, Vittamode of Jeleshworand Birgunj . Sanischare (Jhapa), Damak (Jhapa}, Inarauwa (SunSari), Madhumalla (Morang), Biratnagar (Morang), Lahan (Udayapur), Shakhuwa (Janakpur), Belbasa, Gaushala, · Lalbandi, Hariwan (Sarlahi), Barathahcnva, Nijghad (Bara), Hetauda (Makwanpur), Ghorahi (Dhang), Chhinchu velley (Surkhet) which are near or around E.W. Highwayare sub pockets in which the goats are collected from the interiors of respective orsurrounding districts. Those collected goats are brought to Kathmandu by the dealers or middlemen through either single or double tier truck or sometime through the roof of bus. On an average about 600 goats through trucks and about 200 goats through middlemen are brought in Kathmandu (Balkhu) market everyday. There is no grading in quality with respect to age, sex, health and composition of meat in goat meat market. The price ofgoat meat Rs 42.1/Kg in 1988 (i.e. US$2 at that time) has risen up to Rs. 180 per kgmeat in present days(i.e. almost US $3) however yet the demand for goat meatcontinues to be persisted. In present marketing system, producer and consumer both aresufferer and only middle man and dealer are beneficiaries.
