How Nepali women are stepping towards agro-entrepreneurship amid challenges

Goat rearing was just a part of their household chores as they were not aware of agro-entrepreneurship. They adopted the traditional way of feeding, breeding and providing sheds for goats. They fed goats whatever they could find around, which created either an unbalanced or an inedible diet resulting in poor diet care.

Moreover, they were unaware of diseases that might attack goats, which resulted in goats’ high mortality rate and less productivity. Then, they lacked business sense and did not have any account keeping of actual farm transactions. Along with that, the misconception of meat from improved breeds would not be sold was rampant among them.
