| Abstract: |
A study was conducted to assess the economic profitability of commercial potato (mairz season)
cultivation among farmers of KusaDevi, Kavre. Potato forms one of the major agriculture
enterprises with summer production as major share and other being autumn season. Farmers were
selected randomly and were provided with daily farm record format jointly developed by NPDP
and MRSMP. Data were filled by farmers and verified by regular supervision from NPDP
throughout the crop season for use of inputs and yield whereas information regarding farming,
command area, marketing and other relevant information were obtained by focused group
discussion. Quantitative data were analyzed using MS Excel and SPSS 16. The total investment per
ropany (500m1
) was found approximately 9530 NRs of which household resources accounted 69%
share and remaining being direct cash investment. The blc ratio was approximately 1.32 and 1.77
and ROI was found 0.32 and 0. 77 at the farm-gate price (FGP) at harvesting time and most
common selling price respectively. Farmers' product price varied greatly with their retention
capacity, storage availability and dealing with traders at local and distant markets such as
Kalimati and other wholesale markets of Kathmandu valley. Seed, fertilizer and labor ranked first,
second and third respectively by share of investment in potato cultivation. Cost of cultivation
particularly seed potato, fertilizer and labor cost in one hand; and the yield and FGP of fresh
potato as well as its demand pressure from market on other hand were the major factors
determining the net economic return to the farmers. |
