“…Blight was found to be the most severe, followed by downy mildew, powdery mildew, damping off and wilt with index values of 0.768, 0.638, 0.586, 0.542, and 0.46, respectively (Table 5). As vegetables are generally susceptible to a wide range of pests and diseases, these are major constraints to vegetable farming which requires intensive efforts for proper management (Dahal and Manandhar, 2021).…”

The objective of this study was to find out the existing vegetable production and marketing practices in the Kailali district of Nepal. A total of 100 vegetable growers were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was done by using a semi-structured interview. Secondary data was collected from the reports and journal articles. Indexing techniques and descriptive statistics were used in this study. It was estimated that the average size of a household's landholding was 0.1689-0.337 hectares. Forty-eight percent of the households earned NRs 1,00,001–2,00,001/year from vegetable farming. About 93% of the farmers were interested in off-season vegetable production. Around 45% of households used different fertilizers, namely urea, DAP, and MOP. Insect and disease attacks (index value = 0.82) were the major problems. Aphid (index value = 0.818) and blight (index value = 0.768) were reported as the major pest and disease, respectively. About 47% of farmers grew hybrid seeds. Farmers sold their products in India (50%), Dadeldhura (30%), and local markets (20%).The management of insect pests and diseases, access to chemical fertilizers and hybrid seeds, and the provision of offseason vegetable production training to farmers are necessary for the promotion of commercial vegetable production in the district.

“…So, specialization in agriculture, development of markets, and trade stimulate the economic growth of the country. Inspiring vegetable growers for commercial-scale of production could be a reliable source of income for farmers (Dahal and Manandhar, 2021). Such transformation also contributes to narrowing the yield gap.…”

The vegetable sub-sector is considered a sector having high prospects of commercialization. It supports to create the job opportunities, thereby contributes to reducing the poverty rate. However, little empirical research has been done to know the benefits of commercial production and households’ behavior towards its adoption. Thus, this study seeks to assess the production economics and determinant factors of farmers for the adoption of commercial vegetable production in Kathmandu district, Nepal. In total 199 households were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The primary data were collected from January to February 2022. The descriptive statistics, benefit-cost ratio, and binary logistic regression were applied for data analysis using SPSS. The results reveal that the gross margin and benefit-cost ratio of commercial vegetable farming were found to be NRs. 533,130/ha and 3.23 respectively, which were higher than the subsistence vegetable farming (gross margin NRs. 419, 031/ha and benefit to cost ratio 2.49). Further, the findings of binary logistic regression show that age, education of household head, experience, type of family, membership, and access to credit were significantly important determinants of commercial vegetable production. Therefore, any agricultural development programs such as financial services, business training, and encourage farmers to join into cooperatives could be instrumental for commercial vegetable farming.
