Abstract

A study was done in 2021 in the Kailari rural minicipality, Gauriganga municipality, Godawari municipality, and Dhangadhi sub-metro politian city of the Kailali district to analyze the economics of wheat production. A total of 200 samples (50 from each village) were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. Most respondents (91 percent) had agriculture as a primary occupation. The area under wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivation per household was 0.6 hectare with no significant difference between super zone of the Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project and non-super zone areas. The average production per household was 1814.5 kg whereas the yield was 3.3 mt/ha. The average cost of production was NRs. 64,526.62 per hectare and the B:C ratio was found to be 1.492. The Cobb-Douglas function showed that fertilizer, pesticide, land preparation, irrigation, and threshing costs were significant contributing factors to wheat production. The return to scale was found to be 0.261. An Index of severity was constructed to study the problems of wheat production in the study area. Weed infestation, lack of fertilizers, and insect pests were found to be three major problems.

尼泊尔Kailali地区小麦生产的资源利用效率和盈利能力分析

一项研究于2021年在凯拉里农村自治区、高里甘加市、戈达瓦里市和凯拉里地区的丹加迪市进行，以分析小麦生产的经济学。采用简单随机抽样法抽取200个样本(每个村50个)。大多数受访者(91%)的主要职业是农业。总理农业现代化项目超级区与非超级区的户均小麦种植面积为0.6公顷，差异不显著。每户平均产量为1814.5公斤，单产为3.3吨/公顷。平均生产成本为NRs。64,526.62 /公顷，B:C比值为1.492。柯布-道格拉斯函数表明，化肥、农药、整地、灌溉和脱粒成本是影响小麦产量的重要因素。规模回报为0.261。构建了严重程度指数，对研究区小麦生产问题进行了研究。杂草丛生、肥料缺乏和害虫是三个主要问题。
