Beneficiary feedback Naichal, Bhaktapur 19th May 2016

The Good People gave two reasons for interest in growing herbs; more money and for medicinal value; and they can be grown on various types of land and soil quality; People were glad to learn more about herbs and especially wild herbs; it was pointed out that wild herbs could increase incomes; the importance about identifying correct herbs was raised; People liked the idea of a local community mobiliser as this would make communication easier;
3
The Good (continued) Follow-up training and technical support were valued. People felt knowledge could be forgotten so a refresher is useful. Would like to receive ongoing technical inputs if people had concerns; and people said they would like to know how to improve soil quality and how to plant herbs; People felt Herb Nepal was more secure than middleman due to technical training and support; and that middleman just look for their own profits.
4
The Bad The only suggestion to the programme was that Herb Nepal could organise collection and transportation of herbs;
5
The unexpected During the ‘Drama for Farmer’ session while the Organic Champion applied Comfrey packs the level of positive engagement and interest in learning from participants was clearly demonstrated; There was a curiosity about market prices in the group; people where unsure about where they could take herbs or sell them; People shared their experiences about using middlemen, and reported that they felt vulnerable at the market and that the middleman would take advantage of this.
6
The unexpected (continued)
People felt that small cash payments from Herb Nepal was manageable but they felt vulnerable carrying larger amounts of money; they advised that a mobile phone payment or cheque would be preferable in this case.
7
What next? A value chain analysis will be conducted in each area which will highlight the potential for Herb Nepal to have a localised herbal collection centre; an analysis is currently taking place in Timal for this same purpose. A farmer-led participatory feedback mechanism will be created as part of the SC programme.
