Part 9 – Marketing

February 2024

This time during business training Nara Bahadur discussed how to do marketing and that this part is very important. Especially in our area, the marketplaces are far away and therefore we should plan for when to sell our goats and where.  The next month, my two goats will be ready for sale and therefore we discussed our options. In the discussions, Nara Bahadur told us one proverb: bolne ko pithopani bikcha nabolenoko chamal pani bikdaina (Even the flour of those who speak is sold, even the rice of those who do not speak is not sold ). We laughed and agreed on the meaning of that proverb.

After that, he raised the question: Which eggs are mostly consumed ?  We responded immediately that it is the eggs from the chicken. But why the eggs from the chicken, asked Nara Bahadur. He told us that chickens after laying the egg make a sound:  Kwak….. Kwak…….  That is how they are marketing their eggs! And then we are buying and eating the eggs. For a while, we paused and started the discussions again.

After long discussions, we agreed to develop an action plan:

We agreed to visit ward and municipality offices to support on marketing of our production.

We also agreed to make the same rate for the same productions.

After the training, I feel so good and believe that we can sell our product at a good price.
