Title : Socio-economic Condition of Banana Growers and Banana Production Technology in Kailali District Material Type: printed text Authors: G.K. Shrestha, Author ; Giri, S, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 35-40 p, Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Musa spp., farmers‟ education, varieties, pests, diseases, income Abstract: This survey was undertaken to record socio-economic condition of the banana
growers and the technologies adopted in banana production and marketing in
Narayanpur and Phulbari VDCs and Tikapur Municipality of Kailali district.
One hundred respondent farmers were selected randomly from these study sites
for interviews, group discussion, and personal contacts and used a semistructured
questionnaire for information and data collection. Results indicated
that there was a dominance of male over female farmers in most of banana
farming activities in Kailali. Farmers having various education levels and age
groups involved in growing banana earned an annual income from Rs. 30-100
thousand/ha. Majority of the respondents have their own livestock for manure
but some farmers purchased manure. ELUM PLUS, DADO (Kailali) and others
have played a significant role in motivating farmers towards banana farming, yet
trainings on scientific technologies are desired by over 80% of the respondents.
The farmers (68 respondents) had never taken any kind of agriculture loan from
any Bank or other agencies. Many respondents (48%) said they required hiring
of labor for field activities. Along with socio-economic status of farmers, the
production and management techniques and several problems faced by these
farmers are presented in this paper.
