[article]
Title : An Empirical Analysis of Resource Productivity of Wheat in Eastern Terai Region of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhujel, R.B., Author ; Ram N, Jha, Author ; Bindeshwar Yadav, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 89-97 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gross margin, productivity, resource conservation technology Abstract: Different types of resource conservation technology (RCT) in wheat
cultivation have been recently introduced and use of seed cum fertilizer zero
till drill machine is one of them which was used in eastern terai region in
wheat season of 2006/2007. A survey was carried out to study the
productivity of wheat and compare the production between traditional and
RCT method of cultivation. Altogether 31 farmers were interviewed with
semi-structured questionnaires. Model used to estimate the productivity for
both the methods was significant (p cent variation due to independent variables under study in wheat production
of traditional and RCT method, respectively. Farmers used 160 kg seed/ha in
traditional method while in RCT method it was 122 kg/ha. Similarly, they
applied 148 and 137 kg nutrients as a total of nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash in traditional and RCT method, respectively. Average production of
wheat grain in traditional and RCT method was 2456 and 2714 kg/ha giving
average gross margin of Rs 16750.00 and Rs 23301.00/ha, respectively. This
revealed 10 per cent reduction in total costs and 29 per cent increase in return
by RCT method.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=13

Title : Economics of Winter Potato Production in Kabhrepalanchowk District Material Type: printed text Authors: B. K. Upadhyay, Author Pagination: 231-237 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: conomics of potato production, gross revenue. input cost, net profit. Abstract: This paper antilyses the economics of winte1: potato production of Khet land in
Kabhrepalanchowk District of Nepal, working on the cost benefit framework. The net
profitability of potato production is determined so as to draw purposeful policy
recommendation for the fuation of price of potato crop and the crucial inputs used in its
cultivation. This paper draws the data on area under potato, inputs for its cultivation
including manpower (i.e. labour), bullock power, capital (seed, manure, fertiliser and
insecticides) and gross production of potato from il1te1view with the randomly selected 175
households of Mahadevsthan, Panchkhal, Puranogaun and Tukucha VDCs and Panauti
Municipality. The field survey was conducted from December 1999 to August 2000. The
overall average farm area under winter potato cultivation is 0.20 hectare per household. The
average area of fanu under potato ranges from a minimum of 0.07 hectare to a mcuimum of
0.25 hectare across the survey villages. Winter potato production incurs an average cost of
Rs. JJ,421.9 per farm and Rs. 56,187.2 per hectare per household. The input prices as
reported by household heads are taken while calculating the purchase pl'ices of inputs. The
gross production of potato is 5, 079.8 kilograms per farm. The yield of winter potato is
24,308.3 kilograms per hectare per household. The gross value of potato is obtained
multiplying the quallfity of potato by its farm gate price (that is, price of potato when
prevailed in th.e survey villages during its harvest). On average, gross receipts from winter
potato is Rs.28, 715.9 per farm and Rs, I, 37,392 per hectare per household. Results revealed
that the cultivation of potato in Kabhre district is a profitable engagement. For determining
the profitability of potato cultivation, all cost items, whether paid or noll-paid, used by the
sample growers are taken into account. Then, receipt from the sale of output or potato was
calculated. Deducting total input costs from gross receipts, it is obsen1ed that the net profit
from potato production exceeds its cost of production. The average 11et be11ejit from potato
production is Rs. 17,294.0 per farm and Rs. 81,204.8 per hectare per household.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=502 Economics of Winter Potato Production in Kabhrepalanchowk District [printed text] / B. K. Upadhyay, Author . - [s.d.] . - 231-237 p.

Title : Employment and Income Generation Through Horticultural Industries Material Type: printed text Authors: Thapa, Prahlad Kumar, Author Pagination: 34-45 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: elasticity, gross domestic products, income, labour employment and
productivityAbstract: Agriculture is the main occupation of the majority of the population of Nepal. As
agricultural labour productivity is low it is the main reason for widespread poverty. This
clearly shows that there is a need to enhance total agricultural productivity to enhance
agricultural labour productivity. In view of the diverse agro-ecological zones and growing
markets, horticulture is a promising sector· to enhance employment and income to
expedite the pace of agricultural growth in Nepal. Agriculture contributes 33 percent to
GOP and lwrticulture contributes 21 percent to AGDP. There is high growth of labour
force (2.6%) while employment opportunity is low (5% unemployed and 22 percent
underemployed). Underemployment is largely due to self employment in agriculture. In
such a situation increasing wage and employment is not possible at the same time. Under
such circumstance, there is a need to enhance agricultural productivity. Increasing
agricultural productivity would be possible by adopting comparatively high income
generating commodities like replacing traditional cereal crops by horticultural crops.
Horticultural crops have high income elasticity (about 0.5). There is a large trade deficit of
horticultural commodities. On the production side, horticultural crops give higher returns
(about twice) and greater employment (about 1.5 times) than traditional cereal crops. The
development potential is still under-harnessed, due to which Nepal is importing large
quantities of fruits and vegetables from India. Despite its current contribution and potential
future, the importance of horticulture has not received due priority in the agricultural
development policies. Hence, it is recommended that development policy should focus on
horticulture to enhance employment and income generating opportunities in the country.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=201 Employment and Income Generation Through Horticultural Industries [printed text] / Thapa, Prahlad Kumar, Author . - [s.d.] . - 34-45 p.
