Abstract: |
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. |
