A study was conducted on fruit research investment in Nepal using secondary data from 2068-69 to 2072-73. Percentage, averages, and trend line were used to present the data and interpret the results. The main objective of the study was to find out the research investment in fruit and its impact. Results revealed that the share of operational budget was increasing over the years; however, research on fruit crops needs higher investment for longer period. The result showed that the fruit research activities ranges from 106 to 138 in the aforesaid years. Till now only two lime varieties have been released which indicates the low priority on fruit research in terms of research investment and human resources. Hence the government should allocate the higher investment in fruit sector with recruitment of more skill human resources. |
