Abstract

The decennial agriculture census conducted by Central Bureau of Statistics captures the data on poutry reared by agriculture holding only. The number of poutry firms commercially reared for the purpose of meat and eggs are not included in such censuses. So this survey is complementary to the periodic agriculture census which addresses the data gap created by the former one. This survey deals in production of meat and eggs by the firms, employment generated by the firms as well as annual expenditure of the firms. Above all, this survey elaborates the contribution made by the firm in national income of Nepal.
