Public ISBD in Proceedings of the fifth National Seminar on Horticulture June 9-10, 2008 / Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) (Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal)     Title : Production, Processing and-Marketing of Coffee In Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Prachanda M. Shrestha, Author ; Pranay Sharma, Author ; Ranjana Mishra, Author Pagination: 182-188 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Coffee (Coffea arabica) is produced in Nepal in limited areas under upland condition without use of external inputs including chemical fertilizers and insecticides/pesticides. It is emerging as a potential cash crop suitable among small holder farmers in the midhills of Nepal. Coffee green bean production increased from 94 mt in 2093 to 218 mt in 2007. The ecological settings in the mid-hills provide Nepalese coffee a unique opportunity to enter international specialty market. Nepali coffee is fetching an attractive price in the international market as compared to regular bulk coffee produced elsewhere. Export of green beans increased from 38 mt in 2004 to 112 mt in 2007. Similarly, consumption in domestic market has also consistently increasing from 34 mt in 2004 to 67 mt in 2007. To get recognized in the international specialty market Nepal needs to improve the quality of coffee and increase the production through increased productivity in potential pocket areas. Production of coffee in Nepal is lower than the demand of the traders. Growth in demand of Nepali coffee and diversification of the market has made coffee production increasingly attractive. However, limited government support without long-term planning is the main constraint in the development of coffee sector. There is an urgent need of research to develop improved production and processing technologies. The need of the coffee sector is the organic production and processing system to improve the productivity and quality of coffee with transparent marketing system where the producers and village level processors are not exploited. in Proceedings of the fifth National Seminar on Horticulture June 9-10, 2008 / Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) (Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal)     Production, Processing and-Marketing of Coffee In Nepal [printed text] / Prachanda M.
