Agricultural practices and crop budget survey

Over the last decade, significant steps have been taken under the Vegetable, Fruits, Cash Crops, and Animal Products (VFC/A) program component of USAID"s Rapti Development Project (RDP) in Nepal to shift subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture based on the cultivation of high-value crops.

Abstract

This report, based on the results of an agricultural practices and crop budget survey in VGC/A impact areas, draws conclusions about the comparative advantage of the production of specific commodities (apples, citrus fruits, mangoes, vegetables, vegetable seed, forest products) in specific agro-ecological locations (remote high hills, high hills, mid- hills, river valleys, and inner terai). The impact of the VGC/A on women in the Rapti Zone is also discussed. (Author abstract, modified)
