| Abstract: |
Agriculture is the mainstay of Nepalese economy. About 74 percent economically active
labour force relies on agriculture for their livelihood. The productivity of other major
conmzercial plantation crops is either stagnant or have low growth rate. Tea is high value
cash and labour intensive crop. Land fragmentation, landlessness scattered labours and
cost of production are at increasing rate. The incidence of poverty and deprivation is
disproportionately higher in the rural area of Nepal. Among the many commercial crops,
tea has high potentiality to give more production in term of yield per unit area in a given
period of time. It contributes about 0.14 percent of the total AGDP of national economy
and 0. 78 percent to total household consumption A survey was carried out to investigate
involvement of labours on tea cultivation at Dhankuta, Teralztlwm, Jhapa, Ilam and
Panchtha,r in 2003. Four-tea estates, two government Cltiya Bistar Yojana and twenty tea
planters were employed in the survey revealed that 2.43 labours were involved year round
basis for tea farming per day per hectare. In Nepal thirty two thousand people are
employed in tea farming. Tea area and production is increasing every year by 18 percent,
which can minimize the pressure on unemployment and generates income. Such significant
achievement can be obtained in poverty reduction. It is suggested that due to intensive
agribusiness farming tea plantation promotes the agribusiness and provides employment
opportunity to rural people in eastern region of tea growing area and marginalized and
wasteland are utilized where poverty is striken. |
