Summer Paddy Crop Food Security Bulletin - 23 FS Bulletin, May 2009 Issue 23 Highlights • Because of severe winter drought, 700,000 people in the Mid- and Far-Western Hills and Mountains are in need of immediate food assistance in addition to nearly one million people who are currently supported by WFP. • The drought resulted in decreased national crop production for wheat and barley of 14.5% and 17.3% respectively; however, crop losses in many Hill and Mountain districts of the Mid- and the Far-West regions were more than 50%. • The ongoing WFP food assistance has helped to reduce the severity of household food insecurity in drought-affected communities. Due to the winter drought, however, continuous food assistance will be needed until the next harvest to support the poorest, drought-affected communities in the Mid- and the Far-West regions. assistance (see Box 1 for a summary of Overview the report).

Other districts with households that are facing a high level of food insecurity are Mugu, Kalikot, Rukum, Surkhet, Achham, Doti, Bajhang, Baitadi, Dadeldhura and Darchula. These households have both very limited food stocks and limited financial resources to purchase food. Most households are coping by reducing consumption, borrowing money or food and selling assets.

    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.

  • Summer Paddy Crop Production Increased by 17%
    Food Security Bulletin - 19 United Nations World Food Programme FS Bulletin, March 2008 Food Security Monitoring and Analysis System Issue 19 Key Findings 9 Nepal’s summer paddy crop production increased by 17%. 9 Initial reports indicate that the winter crop will yield substantially lower crops in the Mid and Far Western region, due to late winter rains. 9 Market Prices have increased significantly despite these good crop yields leaving an estimated 3.8 million extremely vulnerable. 9 Additionally, many areas in Mid- and Far-West suffered from poor paddy production and are facing increasing food insecurity. The outlook for the winter crop production in many of these areas is also worrying. 9 Many of the extreme poor households in flood affected areas are still struggling to cope with the longer-term affects of the flood. 9 Average household food stocks are down by half compared to a year ago. 9 More households are facing difficulties in accessing sufficient food. Coping strategies are more frequently adopted compared to last quarter and more households find it difficult to find employment. Editorial The past couple of months were the beginning of April.

P. Bohara*, J. P. Dutta, D. Dhakal and J. L. Yadav Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal Accepted 17 May, 2013 Transformation of traditional and subsistence agriculture into commercial and market oriented production system needs efficient transfer of technology to the farmers. Efforts to bridge the gap between research and farmer’s field have been lacking in Nepal and performance of the organizations providing extension services to the farmers is below par, the reason behind this state of affairs is still to be studied. In order to assess the performance of development organizations, this study selected 105 farmers from Dadeldhura district using stratified random sampling technique and both primary and secondary data regarding the activities of those organizations were collected. The development organizations were found to be concentrated in urban areas with technician to population ratio and extension coverage of 1:2353 and 22.7%, respectively. Agriculture sector occupied only 4.01% of the district budget. Most of the organizations had similar type of activities mainly related to technology, extension and support. Regression analysis showed that organizations had significant contribution in annual income of farmers, hence it played a significant role in development of agriculture in the district and respondents were satisfied by their works in general with few disappointments at some instants.
