tsThere is 40% farmer engaged in vegetable Cultivation for their own consumption
Awareness amongst farmers
Favorable climate , High returns per unit areaMarginal & small landholders suitable for introducing organized farmingAvailability of crop insurance
Intuitionalised community in form of SHG.Opportunity for formation of federation and other
institutions
Big gap in demand & supply of vegetable
Lack of good quality seed, equipment and scientific knowledge among the Farmers.
• Absence of knowledge of Post harvest technology
• lesser volume fetching less price, • Lack of assured market •Poor packaging and handling•Lack of assured transportation
Non availability of fresh vegetables
Lack of knowledge of plant protection Measures and irrigation facilityInitial Investment is comparatively highLack of access to financePerishable nature of the produce
• Lack of market Information regarding price of the produce
Opportunity of harnessing better prices and employment generation through primary value addition and packaging
Vision 2012(Dharamghar cluster)
Benefiting 5460 target house holds in 546 hectare land [averaging 5 nali per beneficiary]
Establishment of one Cluster level federation( input support, marketing support and information and
benefits of collective vegetable farming)Establishment of 20 vegetable collection centers 2 in each
clusterEstablishment of Community resource person 4 per cluster
providing technical know how, demand forecasting and market intelligence.
Establishment of assured transportation system.Increasing per house hold income by Rs. 16500 per year
[Rs. 3300/ Nali]
KEY STRATEGIES OF IMPLIMENTATION:
Establishments of cluster level OSV co-operative
Establishment of 2 Input supply and collection Centre at each cluster
Input supply through Co-operative/ Federations
Institutional arrangement for sustainable technical services
Provision of CRPs’ & their Capacity building
Establishment of transport, trading and marketing channels
Institutional arrangement for sustainable marketing system

Lessons learnt in VC development in mountain areas
• Individual approach of production , collection marketing
• Lack of input services and BDS services • Poor knowledge of value addition at farm level• Poor knowledge of market trend and
consumer behaviour• Lack of business approach of the hill people
Continued…..
Key interventions made to get success
• Orientation of project staff for VC promotion through Gtz/ ICIMOD
• Vision building of community at cluster level • Interactions among community, project
staff,Gtz ( RED)staff,govt line department staff and other operators(middle man,transporter,adhati)
• Formation of product specific activity group of farmers Continued…..
• Exposure of activity group members to different mandis and interaction with the adhatis ,knowing seasonality,pricing,quality parameter,logistics etc
• Micro planning at farm/cluster level and its implimentation
• Regular technical support and other BDS services through project and other resource agencies Continued…..
• Buyer seller meet at cluster level inviting different buyers and their interaction with the community
