chart 15: Trend of Investment in Livestock Activities 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 061/62 062/63 063/64 064/65 065/66 067/68 066/67 Milk Production Breeding/Farming Livestock Management Activities Meat Production Transportation chart 16: Investment in Livestock Activities by Region 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 65% 28% 15% 1% 3% 2% 1% 0% 2% 0% Hill Mountain Terai Livestock Management Activities Livestock for Meat Production Livestock for Milk Production 57% 28% 18% 13% Livestock for Transportation Livestock for Breedign/Farming 66% The variation of communities demand across the geographical region, accessible and non accessible areas reveals that the communities are smart enough in selection of activities based on accessibility, existing natural resources, and potential markets opportunities. In Terai region, market of fresh milk is relatively higher and accessible and the products can be easily marketed with little time and efforts for collection and transportation. Nearly, 56 per cent of total households (with 66 per cent of total investment in livestock sector in region) pursuing livestock as part of their income generation activity in Terai region, are rearing buffaloes and cows for milk products, followed by 31 per cent (18 per cent of total amount) for meat production and remaining 13 per cent (13 per cent of total amount) for farming /breeding purpose. Similarly in Hilly region, 74 per cent HHs (with 65 per cent of total amount) have been found to be engaged in meat production by rearing goat, pig, poultry, among others. In the same region, 22 per cent HHs (with 28 per cent of total amount) of livestock raising is done for milk production purpose followed by 4 per cent HHs (with 13 per cent of total amount) for farming/breeding and transportation purposes. In the case of Mountain region, 61 per cent of households (with 57 per cent of amount) are involved in meat production, followed by 28 per cent HHs Table 7: PAF investment in Agriculture sector by category (with 15 per cent of total amount) in milk production and remaining 11 per cent for transportation purpose. In addition to animal husbandry, PAF has provided support in its associated areas such as animal treatment fund, establishment of veterinary services, developing village level health workers to supplement livestock component. In view of the largest investment portfolio in livestock sector, due emphasis has been laid to establish linkages with markets and services. Apart from livestock, diverse activities in the agricultural sector have been demanded by the communities. The activities thus demanded are system of rice intensification (SRI), vegetable farming in open field to tunnel house, seed multiplication, cash crop production, and fruit farming. Households involved in different agriculture and forest related activities have been presented in the Chart 17 (refer to next page). Out of total 49,069 HHs, 54 per cent households are engaged in vegetable farming, followed by 17 per cent in fruit farming, 17 per cent in agro-forestry, about 5 per cent in bee keeping and rest in cash crop, fishery etc. PAF investment in different activities and number of involved households are presented in table below: FY 2067/68 Cumulative till 2067/68 Sub-sector HH Per cent Amount (in M) Per cent HH Per cent Amount (in M) Per cent Agro forestry 604 9.7 2.15 2.1 8138 16.6 28.65 6.9 Fruit farming 194 3.1 2.61 2.6 8557 17.4 36.71 8.8 Cereal crops 14 0.2 0.23 0.2 430 0.9 1.63 0.4 Cash crops 732 11.7 8.89 8.8 2444 5.0 22.29 5.4 Vegetable farming 4579 73.4 82.96 81.9 26713 54.4 289.36 69.6 Bee keeping 87 1.4 1.88 1.9 2317 4.7 25.78 6.2 Fishery 29 0.5 0.95 0.9 470 1.0 7.25 1.7 Agriculture Support Activities 0 0.0 1.60 1.6 0.0 3.90 0.9 Total 6239 100.0 101.26 100.0 49069 100.0 415.56 100.0 Vegetable farming has been proved very lucrative to increase the income of poor within a short interval of time, where market is easily available for fresh vegetables. Under innovative window programme, PAF has also supported vegetable farming in lease land to landless and marginalized people in Chitwan district. This programme has helped increase income of the poor, thereby, creating them full time employment. 12 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT (2010/2011)
chart 17: PAF investment in Agriculture sector by category 1% 5% Vegetable 17% 17% 1% 5% 54% Bee Keeping Fishery Agro Forestry Fruit Farming Cereal Crop Cash Crops In moutain district like Mugu, green vegetable was outright impossible during winter season before PAF intervention. But after PAF arrival, it has been usual to grow commercial vegetables even in winter season with the introduction of pit green house and solar tunnel house. Such vegetable farming technology/methodology has been successfully demonstrated and this proven and tested case has induced high potential of scaling up in other areas in the days ahead. Irrespective of better yield but comparatively longer gestation period, the demand of fruit farming is stumpy. Nonetheless, a promotional activity of fruit farming undertaken by the communities has widened the scope for scaling up this intervention in coming days. chart 18: Investment in Trading by Business Types 5% 76% 2% 3% 7% 7% chart 19: Investment in Service sector by Category 28% 2% 5% 4% 8% 2% 14% 29% 3% 5% Others Electrical Goods Garment Livestock Related Agri Business Retail Shop Swing and Cutting Livestock Support Agro Processing Hotel/Resturant Barber Repair and Maintenance Metal Works Transportation Communication Others Further to the above, trading is the second largest portfolio on IG. Altogether, 65780 HHs are engaged in trading business, whilst PAF has invested NRs 1110 Millions in this sector. Of the total investment, 76 per cent has been invested in retail shop, followed by 7 per cent in agriculture related buisines, 7 per cent in livestock and livestock product related business, 3 per cent in garment business and rest in other different types of activities. Analysis in trading sector shows that retail business has largest investment in all ecological belts, which accounts more than 65 per cent in Terai, 85 per cent in Mountain districts and more than 87 per cent in Hill districts. Animal business, wood product business, agriculture inputs, food items related business are other major activities in this sector. Overall, 18,207 HHs are engaged in service sector, where PAF has invested about 254 millions. Out of total investment, 245 millions has been invested in income generating social services and rest in social services like supports for schools and healthposts, scholarship etc. Tailoring buisiness is one of the largest components of social sector having 29 per cent investment, followed by transportation 28 per cent, small hotels/teashops 14 per cent, repair and maintenance 8 per cent, and rest in other activities like livestock supports, agrovet services etc. A total of 12,474 HHs are involved in manufacturing related business, and PAF investment is about 109 millions in this sector. Out of total investment, about 53 per cent has been in non-agro products related manufacturing activities, followed by 41 per cent in forest products related, agro-processing related 4.3 per cent and rest in fruit processing. Listing of income generation activities shows that there are diversified IG activities undertaken by the community members. Of them, livestock sector alone has been verified major activity as compared to other IG activities. It means, there is still great challenge to provide informed choices to the people, so that they are able to select suitable IG activities based on their need, local resources, knowledge, skills and available market potentials. A lion’s share of investment in livestock sector demands more concentration to develop mechanism to provide adequate veterinary services at rural areas. It is unambiguous that to sustain the diverse interventions as specified above, PAF should accord higher priority to enhance the qualitative capacity of both partner organizations and community organizations. As COs/HHs activities on Income Generation are being continued through utilization of Revolving Fund managed by the CO, there might be shift in activities based on knowledge and market potentials. This aspect need to be atudied in future. ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT (2010/2011) 13
