Outline of Annual Research Achievements

ヒマラヤ(ネパール、ブータン)とインド北部平地との気候条件による出荷時期の違いから、同一農産物（ジャガイモ、玉ねぎ、キャベツ等）の双方向の大量な物流(輸出入)がある。インドとの国境にある通関機能を持つプツォリン(ブータン)、ネパールガンジ(ネパール)及びシリグリ(インド)等の重要性が明らかになった。ヒマラヤ南面と北部平野との交易は野菜・果物生産の季節性を克服したが。キノコ等森林生産物、カルダモン等の香料がネパール、ブータンからインドへ輸出され、ネパール、ブータンでは所得向上で野菜・果物消費が増え、大量に輸入される。
食生活の多様性、安定性をもたらしたと同時に、デリー青果市場の影響力が強まり、食品衛生の管理、低価格インド産の流入による食料自給率向上が課題となっている。2017年12月にネパールで、セミナー"Development of Food Marketing System in Indian Subcontinent and its Possibilities of Trade Links with Japan"を開催し、ネパール農業省、商工会議所、NGO等30名程度参加した。報告書Maharjan,K.L.ed.
