Abstract
Mange udviklede lande skaber vækst gennem innovation på tværs af sektorer. Dette studie undersøger, hvordan innovation kan styrke Nepals landbrug med fokus på stor kardemomme (large cardamom). Vi anvender rammeværket for det nationale innovationssystem (NSI), som ser på, hvordan politik, institutioner og aktører samarbejder om at fremme innovation, for at finde måder at forbedre produktkvaliteten på. Med kvalitative metoder og data fra både primære og sekundære kilder finder studiet, at Nepal har et stort potentiale for at øge indtægterne gennem eksport af stor kardemomme til internationale markeder og forbedre landmændenes levevilkår. For at udnytte potentialet skal kvaliteten leve op til markedsstandarder. Studiet peger derfor på behovet for bedre teknologi, stærkere kompetencer og viden samt mere forskning og udvikling. Derudover anbefales velfungerende offentlige institutioner, landmandsvenlige politikker, udbygning af grundlæggende infrastruktur, etablering af informations- og kommunikationsteknologi (IKT), samarbejde mellem universiteter og landmænd samt god forvaltning for at fremme innovation i kardemommesektoren.
Many developed countries grow by innovating across sectors. This study examines how innovation can strengthen Nepal’s agriculture, focusing on large cardamom. It uses the National System of Innovation (NSI) framework—which looks at how policies, institutions, and actors work together—to identify ways to improve product quality. Using qualitative methods and data from primary and secondary sources, the study finds that Nepal has strong potential to increase national income by exporting large cardamom to international markets and to improve farmers’ livelihoods. To realize this potential, product quality must meet market standards. The study highlights the need for better technology, stronger skills and knowledge, and more research and development. It also recommends consistent and effective public institutions, farmer-friendly policies, basic infrastructure, information and communication technologies (ICT), collaboration between universities and farmers, and good governance to promote innovation in the cardamom sector.
