Food Security Bulletin - 21
Food Security Bulletin - 21 United Nations World Food Programme FS Bulletin, November 2008 Food Security Monitoring and Analysis System Issue 21 Highlights Over the period July to September 2008, the number of people highly and severely food insecure increased by about 50% compared to the previous quarter due to severe flooding in the East and Western Terai districts, roads obstruction because of incessant rainfall and landslides, rise in food prices and decreased production of maize and other local crops. The food security situation in the flood affected districts of Eastern and Western Terai remains precarious, requiring close monitoring, while in the majority of other districts the food security situation is likely to improve in November-December due to harvesting of the paddy crop. Decreased maize and paddy production in some districts may indicate a deteriorating food insecurity situation from January onwards. this period. However, there is an could be achieved through the provision Overview expectation of deteriorating food security of return packages consisting of food Mid and Far-Western Nepal from January onwards as in most of the and other essentials as well as A considerable improvement in food Hill and Mountain districts excessive agriculture support to restore people’s security was observed in some Hill rainfall, floods, landslides, strong wind, livelihoods. districts such as Jajarkot, Bajura, and pest diseases have badly affected In the Western Terai, a recent rapid Dailekh, Rukum, Baitadi, and Darchula. maize production and consequently assessment conducted by WFP in These districts were severely or highly reduced food stocks much below what is November, revealed that the food food insecure during April - July 2008 normally expected during this time of the security situation is still critical in because of heavy loss in winter crops, year. -

I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future. -
Analysing Dairy Business Value Chains in Far-Westen Terai Districts of Nepal
J. Inst. Agric. Anim. Sci. 33-34: 269-281 (2015) 269 ANALYSING DAIRY BUSINESS VALUE CHAINS IN FAR-WESTEN TERAI DISTRICTS OF NEPAL T. Bhandari Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences, Tribhuvan University, Nepal ABSTRACT Dairy sub-sector is recognized as fast growing profitable agro-business in far-western Terai districts but past studies to support that statement is lacking. The field survey was conducted from February to April 2012 with the aim to analyse business capabilities of operational service providers, investigating value chain analysis and market analysis of the overall milk business. The study collected primary information from 103 respondents by applying multi-stakeholder discussions along with constraint-opportunity analysis. The identified value chain functions were: input supply, milk production, collection, chilling, processing, trading and consumption. The major business stakeholders included 28 private dairies, 34 milk producing cooperatives,7 chilling centres, Dhangadhi Milk Supply Scheme, 25 milk vendors, 44 sweet houses, and more than 100 hotels and restaurants which were transacting 20800 tons equals milk and milk products. Value margin analysis revealed that milk producers were earning higher profit in comparison to the additional cost required for product transformation. Nevertheless, accounting dominance of services offered ultimately on market functions, private dairies were capturing higher profit margins through retailing short shelf-life products disposing through local market outlets. Gross margin analysis on few dairy products sold by the private dairies revealed that selling curd, paneer, Khoa, and ice cream were respectively two times, five times and twenty times profitable, than the selling standard milk. The market analysis indicated 26 percent higher supply of milk in flush season months to the end market outlets. -

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Forest is not only the largest natural resource in terms of spatial coverage but also an important means for their products such as fuelwood, fodder, timber and medicines to majority of the people. The conservation of forest resources may also help in diversification of wild life and biodiversity. The fuelwood from the forest products is a major source of energy for majority of the rural people. Fuelwood is primarily used for cooking and heating. The forests are the only sources that have received heavy pressure as a result of meeting ever increasing demand of fuelwood. Forests, which are main resource of biomass energy, have already been exploited beyond their sustainable capacity and are becoming relatively scarce (Katuwal and Bohara 2009). As more than 80 % of the energy needs in rural area are met by fuelwood, thus exerting immense pressure on the forest resources of the country with negative impacts on biodiversity conservation (WECS 2006). The biomass consumption has vast implications both for deterioration of natural resources which has been home to large number of wild flora and fauna. Alternatives to wood and biomass based energy is unrealistic to the large majority of households in the near future as well. In this scenario, efforts and initiatives geared towards a sustainable alternative energy program seems crucial as a mitigating measure for the harmful effects derived from the excessive use of natural resources for energy (Thapa and KC 2009). Promotion of alternative energy has been a major component of biodiversity conservation, as it reduces human pressure in the park and buffer zone forests. -
