Such organizations have been given the impression to have the capacity to create assets from their associates. They could work at incomparable ranges from the nearby to the worldwide. Many government organizations and NGOs have been seeking to make farmers into specific groups and combine them into the improvement procedure through actively involving them in switch of generation, manufacturing and marketing, making plans, enforcing and tracking of various tasks on rural improvement, agriculture and allied quarter improvement, herbal resource management etc. For building a sustainable FPO, congenial ecosystem is desirable, besides policy reforms predominantly in the system of agricultural marketing. Some of the good ecosystems include the contract farming, production, agri-logistics, policy environment, market and price risk mitigation, licensing, infrastructure arrangements, compliances, etc. FPOs have become one of the effective pathway to address constraints of agriculture sector. There is a necessity for identifying the suitable support system with proper technical guidance with workable and scalable business models. Mainly identified clusters to be scaled up in producer company requirements to be economically reinforced right from the period of community mobilization and inception.","PeriodicalId":354619,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension, Economics & Sociology","volume":"399 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131694216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A list of constraints related to the bio-diversity conservation has been prepared and survey was conducted among 182 tribal respondents in the study area. It was found that indiscriminate felling of trees, conversion of forest land in to agricultural land, higher usage of plant protection and production chemicals, increased human settlements in the eco sensitive area and land fragmentation were the major constraints concerning the bio-diversity conservation.

{"title":"Rice Self-sufficiency in Bhutan: An Assessment","authors":"T. Tashi, Chezang Dendup, Ngawang ., Sonam Gyeltshen","doi":"10.9734/ajaees/2022/v40i230842","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajaees/2022/v40i230842","url":null,"abstract":"Aims: Rice is the essential food grain in Bhutan and its availability directly translates to national food security and stability. Although there are several previous studies on production technologies, varietal adaptabilities and ecology-based information on rice in Bhutan, there is a dearth of information on rice self-sufficiency based on historical production and consumption data. Therefore, objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate rice production and consumption trends; ii) assess current and future rice self-sufficiency, and iii) identify appropriate policy and technical interventions required to enhance rice self-sufficiency. \u0000Methodology: Rice production and consumption data of past fifteen years (2005-2019) was gathered from secondary sources and analysed using descriptive statistics, linear equations, and linear regressions. \u0000Results: The study found that the ratio of rice self-sufficiency had declined due to increase in consumption and decrease in production over the past one and half decades. The rice cultivated area reduced to 30314 acres in 2019 from 46586 acres in 2015, while the productivity of milled rice climbed from 0.76 to 1.07 tonnes per acre in the same period. Further, the analysis revealed that the rice self-sufficiency ratio ranged between 34.7 and 51.03 while the   demand for rice had escalated from 81458 tonnes in 2005 to 101082 tonnes in 2019. This implies that more than half of the rice consumed was imported, particularly from India to meet the demand of the country. The average per capita consumption of milled rice in Bhutan was assessed to be 147.7 kg which led to huge rise in import dependency ratio. It saw a growth in import value in Ngultrum by 297% during the study period. Projections from this study shows that per capita rice consumption will rise to 163 kg in 2030, with a rice deficit equal to the volume required for 73% of the estimated population. \u0000Conclusion: If current production and consumption trends continue, the ratio of rice self-sufficiency is likely to decline steadily in the coming years with negative impact on country’s trade balance. This study recommends three different strategies: (1) increasing yield, (2) expanding the area, and (3) decreasing consumption to increase the self-sufficiency in rice. These strategies must be persuaded collectively through crop extensification and intensification. Given the limited arable land, the recommendations include reverting to fallow land, adopting improved high-yielding varieties, expanding irrigation, adopting improved plant and soil management techniques, adopting labour-saving technologies, promoting upland rice, and rice double cropping, among many. On the policy front, it is vital to increase rice farming's economic viability and attractiveness through increasing subsidies, support systems, and incentives. A change in consumption pattern and food diversification can be suggested as another long-term approach towards achieving rice self-sufficiency.","PeriodicalId":354619,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension, Economics & Sociology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126301968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell phones and smart phones are the most generally accepted and utilized ICTs, having helped farmers become more socially engaged. Many agriculture-friendly mobile apps are as well assisting farmers in appreciating the relevance of technology. They can contact middlemen for marketing purposes and immediately contact field specialists in real time for guidance on preserving the quality of inputs/outputs, controlling insect/pest, and managing crop diseases, among others.
