| Abstract: |
At present, there are 21 government horticulture farms under the Department of
Agriculture and 4 under NARC. The NARC also has horticultural units in Agricultural
Research Stations of Pakhribas, Tarahara, Parwanipur, Lumle, and Nepalgunj. There
are abundant examples of positive contributions made by government farms to
horticulture development. Apple production in Jumla and Mustang, vegetable seed
production in Rukum, junar production in Sindhuli and Ramechhap and fresh
vegetable production in Kavre, Dhading, Sarlahi, Para, Parsa, Rautahot and
mandarin orange production in Dhankuta are some of the examples of farm
contributions. The system of farm operation has not been effective due to the many
reasons: Basic objectives assigned to the government farms at the time of their
establishment are now redundant as private sectors and NGOs have started to take up
some of those functions. Thus, the roles of the government farms should be redefined
in the changed context and management system needs to be adjusted accordingly. |
