| Abstract: |
The survey assessed the constraints and farmer’s perceptions on off season green
onion production in Shukranagar, Jagatpur and Gunjanagar VDCs in Chitwan, Nepal.
The primary data used for the investigation were obtained through the use of
questionnaire, focus group discussion and key informant survey. Thirty commercial
farmers and ten traders were randomly sampled for the study. Major constraints and
influencing factors for green onion production, and marketing system were looked into.
The study revealed that seedling raising was the most important problems faced by the
off season growers followed by weed problem, lack of crop insurance facility, and
diseases and pests. Lack of storage facility was the most important marketing problems
due to highly perishable nature of green onion followed by lack of appropriate
marketing facilities and fluctuation in the market price. Higher market price was the
major influencing factors for green onion cultivation followed by its short duration as
compared to bulb production which takes longer duration. |
