| Abstract: |
Carp is the major fish produced and imported in Nepal. It is imperative to establish sustainable and
effective supply chains of carp to develop aquaculture industry in Nepal. In order to assess role of
key actors involved and to analyse the existing supply chains of carp, a study was carried out in
Makwanpur, Chitwan and Nawalparasi districts of Nepal during May to September, 2016. A total of
102 respondents (20 grow out farmers, 3 middleman, 3 wholesalers, 3 retailers, and 5 consumers in
each district) were selected randomly for household survey from all three districts. Data were collected
by using set of pre-tested questionnaire by employing face to face survey with the respondents.
Data were analysed by using One Way Anova followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Findings
revealed that grow out farmer, middleman, wholesaler, retailer and consumer are key actors to govern
existing supply chains of carp. There are upto seven types of supply chains of fresh carp and four
types of supply chains of live carp in three districts. Supply chain of live carp is comparatively shorter
with three actors than fresh carp supply chain to minimize fish loss due to handling stress. Grow out
farmers in Nawalparasi earned significantly (p
Makwanpur, due to higher selling price and low variable costs incurred. In live carp supply chain,
middle man received higher margin (34-36%) whereas in fresh carp chain, retailers earned higher
profit in Makwanpur (50%) and Nawalparasi (56%), and middleman, in Chitwan (50%). Although
supply chain of live carp is found to be more profitable, but it is risky and not sustainable at the
moment. Therefore, supply chain of fresh carp needs to be strengthened. |
