Measuring Returns from Improved Rice, Maize and Wheat Research in Nepal / Thakur, Naresh Singh in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 8 (2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inNepal Agriculture Research Journal > Vol. 8 (2007) . - 103-112 p Title : Measuring Returns from Improved Rice, Maize and Wheat Research in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, Naresh Singh, Author ; Paudel, M.N., Author ; Gauchan, Devendra, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 103-112 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture,  food  crops,  impact,  internal  rate  of  return,livelihood,  research  investment Abstract: Studies on returns to research have been established in different countries to justify research funding and allocation of research priorities. However in Nepal, there are no scientific studies carried out recently on return to research investment in major crops and commodities, despite priority given in agricultural sector. This paper has summarized the research investment with respect to major cereals viz; rice, maize, and wheat and income generated by the impact of improved varieties of these crops in Nepal. Internal rate of return for major cereal crops (rice, maize, and wheat) was estimated using time series data of 1995 to 2005. The findings revealed that there is a negative annual growth rate (-0.59%) of NARC budget during 1998-2004. There was a food deficit during mid nineties, however, in the late nineties while despite tremendous curtailing of budget for research, a surplus of food grain was observed. Although the situation of positive food grain balance is not the result of current year's efforts on research it could be the impacts of years of efforts that were in a continuous pace in the past for agriculture R&D coupled with the impacts of extension related activities in the country. Food surplus is mainly contributed by the efforts of massive release of improved varieties of crops by NARC during late nineties. The internal rate of return (IRR) of these cereals for a decade (1995-2004) was in the range of 84-105%, which is around Rs 235673 millions of income generation while investment for their research was Rs 559 millions (0.24% of their revenue). This indicates that there is gross under funding on research for major crops, despite their significant contribution in national economy, food security, and livelihood improvement in Nepal. Finally paper suggests for increased investment in agricultural research for meeting increasing needs of food, income, and employment of growing population as well as enhancing and sustaining future agricultural R&D in the country.

Socio-economic Study on Current Farmer's Practices on Wheat and Mustard Production Systems in Surkhet, Salyan and Doti Districts / Thakur, Naresh Singh in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 5 (2004)  

Public ISBD [article]  inNepal Agriculture Research Journal > Vol. 5 (2004) . - 49-55 p Title : Socio-economic Study on Current Farmer's Practices on Wheat and Mustard Production Systems in Surkhet, Salyan and Doti Districts Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, Naresh Singh, Author ; Khadka, Ramji, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 49-55 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Key  words:  Farmer's  practice,  impact  evaluation,  mixed  crops,  socio-economic  study Abstract: Wheat is one of the major cereal crops grown as a mono crop or mixed with mustard/lentil or pea in the Mid and Far Western Development Regions. The main objective of the study was to explore the existing cropping practices of wheat and mustard production systems and to establish a benchmark for further impact evaluation. Three representative districts Surkhet, Salyan and Doti were selected for the socio-economic study in wheat and mustard production system. A total of 92 households were surveyed (using two stage purposive random sampling method) in the districts and information was also collected through RRA techniques. The total population of the surveyed households was 744 with an average family size of 7.8, 8.3 and 8.3 persons in Surkhet, Salyan and Doti, respectively. Brahmin/Chhetri (66%) and Gurung/Newar (1%) were the major and minor groups, respectively. The total area of the surveyed households was 79.96 hectares with an average farm size of 0.91, 1.02 and 0.60 hectare for Surkhet, Salyan and Doti respectively. Recommendation was made to identify the technology on mixed cropping of wheat and mustard for appropriate time of planting to maximize productivity of wheat and mustard crops without disturbing the existing farmer's practices.
