Title : Economics of Coffee Production: A Case study of Slrubare of Syangja and Digam, Thanapati of Gulmi District Material Type: printed text Authors: S Gautam, Author ; Megh B. Nepali, Author ; Oevendra Gauchan, Author ; Naresh S. Thakur, Author ; Sharma, Bimala, Author ; S.M. Amataya, Author ; B. Bhat, Author Pagination: 189-196 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Biophysical problems, coffee cultivation, economy, export, marginal land,
socioeconomic, white stem borerAbstract: Coffee (Cofffea spp) is an important and emerging cash gener_ating crop after tea in the
mountains of Nepal. The study was carried out in 2007 by a multi disciplinary team of
economics and horticulture in order to explore economics of coffee production system.
The study uses combination of review, participatory rural appraisals (PRA) and sample
household suNey to collect information on coffee production and marketing from
selected pockets of Syangja and Gulmi districts. The primary data were collected from
suNey of purposively selected 65 coffee producing farm households from two villages:
Sirubare-Syangja and Digam-Gu/mi. The findings showed that currently coffee is grown
in small-scale organic production system with limited use of modem technologies and
improved practices. Varieties used in production are traditional and low yielding.
Average coffee farm size is 1.36 ropani. Mean yield of fresh cherry is 169 kg per
ropani. Coffee is an important contributor of household income. Economic analysis
revealed . that coffee production is profitable in both the villages. The important
constraints identified are white stem borer followed by Jack of improved seedlings,
adverse and poor soils inadequate shedding, low market price, delay in payment, lack
of credit facility and labor shortage.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=244 Economics of Coffee Production: A Case study of Slrubare of Syangja and Digam, Thanapati of Gulmi District [printed text] / S Gautam, Author ; Megh B.

Title : Opportunities and Constraints on Onion Production In Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Megh B. Nepali, Author ; S Gautam, Author ; S.M. Amataya, Author ; Gauchan, D., Author ; Pokharel, T.R., Author ; B. Bhat, Author ; Sharma, B, Author Pagination: 280-287 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion production, onion marketing, opportunities, constraints, one get
channelsAbstract: Onion is one of the daily used spices in N~palese kitchen. Production and marketing of
onion and its value added products have shown great promise recently in some rural
and urban areas in Nepal. This crop not only harnesses specific ecological niches but
also has it's potentials in local income and employment generation as well as import
substitution. Study on onion production and marketing wa~ carrieq out in 2007. Primary
and secondary data were used for the mterpretation. Primary data were collected
purposively from the onion producing farmers. Out of different types of vegetable
production the income contribution of onion was one percent only. The average price of
onion in the farm gate and wholesale market were Rs 9 and Rs 12 respectively. The
dry onion bulb supply was 97% from India and 3% from Nepal where as the green
onion vegetable supply was one percent from lndai and 99% from Nepal. The
constraints of onion production were high cost of cultivation, low price, available to
farmers and poor seed quality. There is po_ssible of growing off session onion in Nepal
as Agri found dark red variety is performing well both in mountain Tarai.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=261 Opportunities and Constraints on Onion Production In Nepal [printed text] / Megh B.
