“…The seed cost was the highest contributor to the total cost, with a proportion of 42.31%. Similar to the findings of this research, ANSAB (2011), Timsina (2010), and Sonwani et al (2018) all reported the cost of seed as the main contributor of ginger farming cost. Although Pandey et al (2015) and Paudel et al (2016) suggested a similar scenario, they suggested the share of the seed's cost to be almost 1.5 times more than a finding of this research.…”

“…To attract farmers toward the ginger farming first thing that needs to be ensured is its profitability. To ensure higher profitability and contribution of ginger in improving the livelihood of farmers, efficient cost structure and appropriate level of input utilisation must be understood and recommended (Pandey, Adhikari, Dhakal, and Timsina, 2015;Sonwani, Koshta, and Tigga, 2018). So, this study was conducted in the Ilam district of Nepal to analyse resource use efficiency and economies of scale of ginger farming.…”

This study was conducted in the Ilam district of Nepal to analyse resource use efficiency and economies of scale of ginger farming. A total of 160 farmers and 20 traders (collector, wholesaler and retailers) from the study area were randomly selected as the sample. The pre-tested systematic questionnaire, fitted in KoBo Toolbox, was used to obtain the primary data through face to face household interviews. The production function of ginger farming was in increasing return to scale, with a score of 1.1356. The result showed that expenditure on seed and labour was over utilised. Except for these two, other inputs of ginger farming were underutilised. Economies of scale for ginger production was 44 quintal in production quantity and 5.68 ropani (1 hectare=19.66 ropani) in area. To obtain economies of scale, ginger production and size must be increased by around double the present context. The study concluded that to increase the profitability of ginger farming, resources must be utilised in optimum conditions, and production scale must be increased.

Background There are many indicators and methods in use for measuring access to healthcare, much of which relate to physical access or utilization of services. This study measures unmet healthcare needs in a district with relatively good physical access and insurance coverage and discusses the relevance of our findings for the design and monitoring of progress towards achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Methods A multi-stage sampling survey identified and interviewed a sample of 3153 individuals from 598 households drawn from 13 villages and seven urban wards. In-depth qualitative interviews of five purposively chosen individuals from each village and urban ward, was also undertaken. The study examined access in terms of perceived healthcare needs and unperceived or latent healthcare needs and the proportion of such needs that utilized effective health care and the proportion that did not. Estimation of unperceived healthcare needs was limited to five tracer conditions- hypertension, diabetes, depression, rheumatic conditions and dependence in activities of daily living in the elderly. Bivariate, multivariate (logistic regression), and thematic analyses were used for this study. Results Out of the total population, 10.47% reported perceived healthcare needs for acute ailments in the last 15 days, and 10.62% of the population self-reported suffering from chronic conditions. 12.75% of those with acute ailment and 18.40% of those with chronic ailment received no treatment, while 27.83% and 9.07% respectively took care from informal care provider. Unperceived healthcare needs were high in all five-tracer conditions studied. Incomplete treatment was another form of unmet need. Inappropriate care conceals unmet healthcare needs. Unperceived healthcare needs were significantly higher for poor and marginalized population subgroup, whereas perceived healthcare needs were higher among upper socioeconomic and less marginalized population. Conclusion The measurement of unmet healthcare needs should include both perceived and latent needs, as well as incomplete care and care from informal providers. Further, inappropriate care conceals a lot of unmet healthcare needs, and its measurement is not easy. In a context of information asymmetry and prevailing health markets, the measurement of unmet healthcare needs in all its complexity, becomes essential for measuring progress towards UHC.

“…Punjab has the greatest number of regulated markets in the country (Mann, 2017). Furthermore, Banjare (2016) highlighted that the major constraints in the marketing of spice crops were high cost, lack of post-harvest management, and fluctuation in production prices, whereas Sonwani et al (2018) argued that lack of storage facility, standardization, and grading at the grower level were the main constraints in the efficient marketing of spice crops. Major constraints in marketing are high fluctuation in market price, lack of processing facilities, lack of proper transportation facilities, unawareness of market price information, unorganized market, and the low market price (Chalise et al, 2019;Kala et al, 2020).…”
