The meeting plan containing a rundown limitation and the farmers were approached to rank them as per the seriousness of the requirements looked by them. The information so gathered was classified and examined by utilizing Henry Garrett Ranking technique. Constraints faced by the poultry farmers in production and market of eggs and broiler meat includes lack of technical skill labour, higher cost of feed, higher fluctuation in the price of eggs, the low market price of eggs, low premium on bulk quantity, non-available service of poultry doctors, fluctuation in chicks price, seasonal fluctuation in the price of broiler, lack of regular demand, delay in payment, lack of horizontal integration and outbreak of disease and pest attack.

Turmeric is a popular spice in Nepalese households and a potential cash crop in the country's tropical areas; yet, due to limited study on production technologies and marketing channels, Nepalese farmers have struggled to earn a reasonable return from its production. For this study, 100 turmeric producers were selected by using simple random sampling technique from total turmeric growing population registered in PMAMP at Barahakshetra Municipality of the district. The research was carried out during January to May. Primary data were collected through field, survey, FGD, and KII while a literature review was carried out as the source of secondary data. Information collected from the field survey were coded, tabulated, and analyzed by using the statistical software of MS Excel 2010 and SPSS V26.0. It was found that majority of the respondent farmers had agriculture as their primary occupation. The average household turmeric area was 0.43 ha. The labor cost contributed 45.46% for the of cultivation with an average cost of cultivation pf NRs.110.63 per kg for dried turmeric. Moreover, the gross return of Rs.270057 per hectare and the BCR 1.35, indicate that turmeric farming is profitable. The average productivity of dry turmeric in the study area was 1800 kg per hectare. Insufficient technical services and low market price of the turmeric were main production and marketing problem faced by turmeric producing community This study suggests the adoption of innovative technology for farming, government intervention in price fixing and replacement of local seed by improved seed.

This study assessed the various effects of variability in climatic conditions to the means of livelihood and assessed the impacts of climatic conditions like temperature and rainfall on the livelihood assets of the indigenes of Baringo County, which include: livestock, health, agricultural and tree crops, water bodies. A multi-stage sampling technique was applied, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Primary data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire while secondary data was obtained from the Meteorological Department Nairobi, Kenya. Data obtained were analysed using frequency distribution, trend analysis, percentage and means, as well as multiple regression analysis. A total of 338 respondents were sampled. Variability in rainfall and temperature significantly affected the livelihood assets of the rural populace. It was observed that 78.7% of the respondents in are informed of climate change, mostly through the media (34.62%). Climate variability to a high extent results in drought (X=3.78), crop pests and diseases (X=3.65), livestock pests and diseases (X=3.70) and cases of human diseases (X=4.01). 94.38% of the rural populace in Baringo County experience food insecurity due to climate variability. Climate variability in temperature and rainfall affected general economic activities of the counties at every level of statistical significance even as high variability in climate conditions affected the rural population in Kenya majorly in the areas of drought 60%, the quantity of meal 31.7% and income 29.6 %.

Abstract This study assessed credit access and utilization among poultry farmers and its determinant. Primary data were analyzed from 78 farmers using multistage sampling technique using descriptive statistics, logit and multiple regression models. Findings from the study showed that majority of the respondents were in their active age and 75.6 percent of the poultry farmers were males. Majority (83.3 percent) of the respondents were married and educated. Majority was also in their active age (37.2 percent). The factors determining farmers’ decision to use credit which were significant at 5 percent include; number of years spent in school, farm income, labour cost, cost of feeds and sources of capital while only interest rate was significant at 1 percent. Factors that influenced the credit utilization by the farmers in the study area at 5 percent significance level include; farm income, cost of feeds, and number of birds. It is recommended that subsidization of cost of feeds, usage of family labour, and provision of loan at no or low interest rate should be employed in the study area.
