MEDEP was implemented in Parbat since 1998. Among 55 VDCs in Parbat,
Banskharka is known for orange (mandarin) production and has the potential for generating income through marketing and processing. It needs detailed
information on production for planning purpose. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the status of orange production in Banskharka. It was found that the marketing of orange was still traditional on 'dana' system (per fruit basis) without grading. In order to add profit to the farm income, there was a need to grade fruits and sell the better qualities in the market and process the lower grade ones.
Hence, the micro-entrepreneurs should be motivated to grade their fruits by utilizing the CFC building supported by MEDEP. The agriculture extension programme should reach the farmers and help them solve the yellowing and fruit drop problems in orange. As the study was conducted in a VDC known for orange production, the findings indicated that promotion of orange production like in Banskharka can reduce seasonal migration of people in search of employment
opportunity.
