  • 1 Zoey Garland AGR*1110 Manish Raizada November 23, 2014
    1 Zoey Garland AGR*1110 Manish Raizada November 23, 2014 Bringing Commercial Wine Production to Nepal 2 South Asian Nepal’s food industry is quite self-sufficient; they grow what they need and sell excess products at the market. Nepal’s population is just under $27 million and agriculture accounts for 36.1% of the countries GDP. Just over 76% of the workforce in Nepal is involved in either animal or crop agriculture (Bell 2014). Due to these statistics any improvement in yields or greater contribution to agriculture in Nepal would lead to substantial benefits to their growing country. Currently in Nepal wine is made from fermenting aiselu and chutro berries, which grow in the wild, in plastic barrels. Indulgence of wine in Nepal is steadily growing however it is most popular to the wealthy Nepalese and European tourists. The idea as a whole is to increase the production of traditional wine made in Nepal by exporting wine making supplies made by Canadian companies and shipping grape seeds, that are also produced in Canada, to be grown in vineyards in Nepal. Together, production of red and white wine can bring a source of income and jobs for the people of Nepal. Product Information: Both the aiselu and chutro berry grow in the wild in Nepal and are ripe for harvest from March to May. Traditional winemakers in Nepal hand pick these berries, mix them with sugar and yeast, and then let them ferment in plastic drums for a month at a time. The wine that is currently made in Nepal is in high demand in the European Union (EU) but the production could not meet the amount required and therefore income is limited for exports (Dahal 2010).

  • 1.1 Background of the Study
    CHAPTER- IINTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Nepal is a "multiethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-cultural and diverse regional characteristics country"(Constitution of Nepal 2015). Nepali society and culture is identified as diversity of various caste, ethnic and indigenous people, and their colorful cultural practices. The social and cultural life of people has unique feature. People originated in Tibet live in mountainous ecological belt and have the practice of Buddhism. The People of Indian origin live in South part and practice Hinduism. The country is the homeland to 125 caste/ethnic groups, 123 languages and 10 religious groups. The total population of Nepal is 26,494,504. Among them, indigenous peoples (IPs) comprise 35.8 percent of the total population (CBS, 2011). In 1996 NepalJanajati Mahasangh produced a list of sixty one nationalities (janajatis) covering all the ethnic minorities of the country, including Newars. This list subsequently reduced to fifty nine was recognized by the government in 2002 (Toffin, 2009). Nepal has legally recognized 59 indigenous nationalities, referred to as Adivasi Janajati. The country has entered into a new State structure with promulgation of new Constitution in September 2015. Indigenous peoples, also known as first peoples, aboriginal peoples or native peoples, are ethnic groups who are the original settlers of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently. Groups are usually described as indigenous when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with a given region. Not all indigenous peoples share this characteristic, as many have adopted substantial elements of a colonizing culture, such as dress, religion or language.
