Abstract

The research was conducted to study on value chain analysis of kidney beans in the Api-Himal region of the Darchula district to gain information from kidney beans producers and traders. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect the primary data from 50 households, and 15 from traders by using the purposive sampling technique. Out of 641 ropani, 255 ropani were used for Beans production. 255 ropani of land needed 1,020 kg of seeds, and productivity was 1.29 mt. /ha. It was found that 72.92% of the members were engaged in agriculture. The study showed that 1 kg of seed cost 120 Rs. The average yield was 202 kg. The average farm-gate price was Rs 141 per kg, and the market was Rs 160 per kg. The mean b/c ratio was 1.3. The land use and productivity of beans is in an increasing trend in recent years. Various problems in the production and trading system gave low returns. There was a large gap between farm gate price, and market price because of many middleman channels and higher transportation costs.
