EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The main objective of this report is to sum up my summer project job and to be familiar with practical aspect of the theoretical knowledge gained in a classroom.

This summer project is prepared as per fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA 4th Semester). I believe that this project will enable the reader to understand in an easy way.

This is mainly focused on the export and promotion of Handicraft goods. I thought this topic is interesting and appropriate for studying and writing a report. To deal with these topics the financial as well as the services provided by FHAN (Federation of Handicraft Association of Nepal) are included in this project.

To fulfill the summer project report I gained the financial and service related information from the Federation of Handicraft Association of Nepal. The data consists of the export of Handicraft, Associates of FHAN, Top ten exporting countries of Handicraft goods from Nepal, etc. The data are of last five years.

We know that there is great potential of handicrafts industry, but due to various reason the export of Handicraft goods are not in the great swing. Therefore, with the help of this report, I had tried to draw the attention towards the problems and the possible alternatives to solve the problems.

While I was preparing this report at that time, I experienced the immense pleasure because this is the perfect mechanism to acquire Knowledge relating with our study. In addition, I had gained the practical knowledge of dealing the financial analysis. Through this project, I am able to know to use the forecasting tool as a mechanism to forecast the export of Fiscal year 2068/2069 with the help of trend analysis.

This report actually provides me to know the market status of Handicraft business of Nepal.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

Handicrafts are those objects, which require skill with hands, or in other words, they are man-made. Basically, a product solely made by human hands without using any kind of complicated machinery or equipment is called handicraft. A simple dictionary meaning of handicraft is "an art or craft needing skill with the hands". It is the practice of making decorative of functional objects, wholly or partly by hand, and requiring both manual and artistic skill.

According to the encyclopedia Britannica "Handicraft is the occupation of making by hands usable products graced with visual appeal. Handicraft includes such activities as needle work, lace-making, weaving, printed textile decoration, basketry, pottery, ornamental, metal working, jewelry, leather working and wood working and such crafts as glass blowing and the making of stain-glass that requires complex facilities."

Handicraft is the method of doing or construction an object or device usually by hands and with native materials. A term that seems to combine arts and crafts is known as handicraft.

According to the definition formulation by UNCTAD, "The term hand make article reflects to the articles or the group of articles or the group of articles which is being produced mainly with the help of these tools or instruments, are used by the artisans in making handicraft goods which are of simple kind and which are used by the help of artisans hand or feet, can be called as handicraft."

Therefore, we can say that handicraft is an occupation that involves making usable or decorative products by hands.

The information are the associates of Federation of Handicraft Association of Nepal (FHAN), the information related to the Handicraft products exporters, the commerce associates and the individuals involved in this business.

The reports made by my senior students on the related field also helped me to make my report writing comfortable. Through these reports I came to know that how to present the available data, about the appropriate use of language, well description of the presented data and the analysis and conclusion of the analyzed data.

All of the data related information are taken from the Annual Report made by Federation of Handicraft Association of Nepal (FHAN) during various time intervals. I had considered the data of last 4-5 years. The comparative study of annual report between the last two years is possible with the help of data I had got from the Annual report of Federation of Handicraft Association of Nepal (FHAN).

The review of literature was done with the help of past performance study of respective students. They had presented the data up to 2064/2065 in 9 month's interval report. Therefore, my effort is to analyze and present the data up to 2067/2068 with the full annual report, which will help to show the clear picture of the Handicraft business in Nepal.

In order to analyze and present the Handicraft business, I use the trend analysis as a

tool to show the status of Handicraft Business in Nepal. I choose trend analysis because it is one of the best tools for the relevant investigation on the export in

different fiscal years. The trend analysis shows the trend of handicrafts yield being exported to different volume. This trend will help to know about the increasing or

decreasing trend of export of handicraft products of Nepal to the international market. And the trend analysis is done with the help of our Business Statistics book. The book

is named as Forth Edition, Business Statistics, A first Course.

From the above figure and table, we can clearly see that the export of handicraft goods has increased in 2067/2068 than that of the remaining four years. So it can be said that the handicraft goods export may in coming years also.

The growth in the fiscal year 2065/2066 shows the development of the handicraft industry in Nepal that fiscal year. The decrement of the export in the FY 2063/2064, 2064/2065 and 2066/2067 shows the negative trend in comparison to the FY 2065/2066 and 2067/2068.

4.4 Trend Analysis of Handicraft Exports

Table No. 4.4

Let, the straight-line trend be represented by:

y =a+bx. (1)

Since the no. of years is 5 i.e odd the deviation are taken from the middle of the year i.e

2065/2066.

Here,y =14318414631

x = 0

x2 = 10

xy = 892823974

n= 5

From the formula of trend line:

yc =na+bxor, xy =a x +b x2

We get, a= y = =

i.e a=2863682926

Now we have,

xy xor, b=892823974/10

b=8928397.4

Putting the values of 'a' and 'b' in the trend line equation.

yc = a+bx

yc =2863682926+8928397.4x

Now, for the trend values;

When x=-2, y=2863682926+8928397.4 (-2) =2685118131

When x=-1, y=2863682926+8928397.4(-1) =2774400529

When x=0, y=2863682926+8928397.4 (0) =2863682926

When x=1, y=2863682926+8928397.4(1) =2952965323

When x=2, y=2863682926+8928397.4 (2) =3042247721

Plotting the values in the line graph, we get the estimated trend line as follows:

Figure No. 4.4

Here,

Growth rate is 'b=Rs. 8928397.4 per year.

Since the growth rate is positive, so the trend is in the rising situation. The estimated trend analysis for the year 2066/2067 through this analysis can be get.

For the estimation of total export of Handicraft goods for year 2066/2067:

Put X= 2066/2067 then x= 2066/2067-2063/2064

i.e x= 3

Then, yc= 2863682926+8928397.4 (3)

i.e yc= 3131530118

At last we can say that the secular trend will be in increasing trend as in the year 2068/2069. The highest export of handicraft goods was in the year 2067/2068 which was Rs. 3110472610. The export is not constantly increasing but the export trend is in the increasing form.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Summary

Handicrafts have long been a measure line of Nepalese export. It is a measure source of earning foreign currency and is exported to over 50 countries spread all over the world.

As Nepal is particularly known for its traditional art and culture the handicraft items have a significant impact upon the total production and marketing of overall Nepalese handicraft goods.

Nepalese handicrafts aren't only extra-ordinarily artful but also depict the Nepalese culture and tradition. Nepalese handicrafts fascinate the tourist visit Nepal and their export has also increasing every year. Foreigners wish to know the culture and tradition of Nepal, from the measure percentage f the handicrafts buyers. Today the handicraft product if Nepal; isn't limited only to their name and fame being souvenirs but also they have got recognition in the international market. So, the export of these items certainly holds to further development of the country.

Therefore, the need of this industry seems tremendous. The Nepalese handicraft industries have t be flourished in different parts of our country as far as possible. It has not only the demand of export but also help decrease the problem of unemployment. Moreover, it preserves the culture and craftsmanship and utilizes the local resources.

Though our country is small and landlocked, there is great potential of handicrafts industry.

3.2 Conclusion

This industry has been a substantial asset for the development of the country. However, there are various pros and cons of these industries. The major finding can be pointed out as follows:

Most of these goods are not useful to the general people, mainly on this handicraft industry, fancy and curio goods produced which are infecting luxurious goods. It will be helpful only to satisfy the wants of riches. There will be n benefit to the local customers. Due to the low standard of living of the Nepalese people, they cannot afford for these expensive curio goods. This industry has fulfilled the needs of the foreigners only and not the local people. If the foreign demand falls by some cause or other, this industry will suffer a lot.

By the name of this business, the curio dealers export many antique goods. As they get money for the antiques the dealers collect it at any cost . They steal the artistic fitting of the temples and even gods and goddesses directly or indirectly and they smuggle it to foreign country. That is why; we hear always

the news of stealing of figures or historic temples. Thus, such things of national and historic importance are losing day by day. The curio business taught these mal practices. It is harmful to the nation both form national and religious point of view.

Most of these handicrafts are exported to overseas countries. As an inducement or intensive for the 60% of the export amount. They import many comfort and luxury goods which creates unnecessary habits and fashions among the people. Again as the foreign goods are cheaper that the local one, the people do purchase the foreign goods only. By this the local industries suffer, as they cannot compete with the foreign ones. These importers import mostly the luxuries, as they will get good margin of profit on them. Therefore, the import in not in the favorable interest of the country.

This business couldnt yet earn there reputation in the international field. The cause this is there is no fixed for the sale of these handicraft products. Some one may be selling same goods at a low price and other at the higher price. The foreigners are ruthlessly cheated on this business. The dealers of the curios charge very low price to the local people and very high to the tourists. The order of foreign dealers cannot be completed in time, due to the slow method of production, thus most of the orders are cancelled there is no sound method of finishing too. The quality and the finish of the sample prices and the goods supplied dont often tally due to the practical difficulties, because of the traditional method of production. These products are not made to the standard in quality and strong then the goods are very fragile and delicate. For filigrees and figures, there is a great deal of packing problem. Whatever the good packing may be, the goods reach in poor and damaged condition.

The total export of handicraft product has been highest in FY 067/68, which are Rs. 3,110,472,610

The total exports are not in the constant growth rate or fall rate because in FY 2063/64 the export rise but in the FY 2064/65, it falls. Again, in 2065/66 it rise up and then falls in 2066/67. In addition, in FY 2067/68 it again rises up to Rs. 3110472610.

In compare to FY 066/67, the total export has increase by 11.72% in FY 067/068.

The highest increase in export is from stone craft, which is 106.7%.

The handicraft product that have decrease in export in FY 067/68 are Pashmina product (30.04%), silk product (16.93%), silver products (10.25%), Hemp products (14.41%), Allo product(47.21%), Dhaka products(14.42%) and Pauba (Thanka)(12.20%) products.

Woolen Goods contributes 15.93% of the total export.

The latest figure indicates that handicraft business will contribute to increase the status of Nepal gradually.

The tourists are important for both local sales and export. The more tourists visits in Nepal the more will be sale of these goods.

The highest export of handicraft goods was in the year 2067/68, which was Rs. 3,110,472,610. It shows the increasing trend of handicraft goods export.

Among the top ten importers of Nepalese handicrafts, USA has the first position with largest share.

Handicrafts are one of the major exportable items of Nepal especially to overseas market. There are many handicraft industries in Nepal, which are being operated in household basis, and medium scale industries. Those, which are run in household basis, have not developed well because of the financial problem. The artisans are enabling to expand their production. Most of the craft activities are hereditary in nature so they are producing in traditional style. The Nepalese craftsmen are mostly illiterate and are unaware of modern technology and in absence of proper training facility regarding improved. Technology use of new tools and equipment for improved efficiency this industry is facing problem of quality and price, competition and design modification. Similarly, medium scale industries of handicrafts have been producing very less manufactured crafts goods. As its number is limited traditional backwardness in modern craft manufacture has caused Nepal to face a very hard time to continue its survival and growth in competitive world market.

There are few organizations, which are trying to promote the handicrafts export of Nepal to overseas countries. FHAN, TPC are the major organization among them. FHAN has so the tried to promote handicrafts export by making different study on market potentially in some overseas countries. Publication of handicraft magazines, trade directory, regular journals and bulletins, collection of different trade information at hand for the interested, conducting workshop seminars, making arrangements trade fairs and exhibition are the major promotional activities conducted by FHAN.

3.3 RECOMMENDATION

Despite the drawbacks, this industry is important from the economical, national and social point of view the demand of foreigners for these goods is increasing in great preparation. A special craze has developed among the people of the rich countries for the artistic craft works and curio articles. In addition, it is but true that craze or the thirsty of this type of articles is unlimited as such there is a great prospect of this trade to our country. This is full of rich traditions and traditional arts and crafts. As such, Nepal is receiving more and more orders for ours handicrafts developed. If it is improved and in modern way there is a great scope lying ahead of us.

The following points may be recommended for its improvement:

The technique of production should be imported the use of modern tools. As far as possible tools and machines should be introduced this will hand works largely. Through this quick and mass production becomes possible. New

technique must be investigating properly organized business, production would lead to adequate and timely production, and goods sell. The technique of finishing too should be improved for better market.

Regular and sufficient availability of raw materials at a reasonable price for the production or handicraft is one of the most important needs. Government should check their availability and if necessary, should import raw materials on a regular basis.

For getting successful market in the overseas countries, a product should buy of attractive design and standard quality of the product should be maintained. The modern handicraft goods, which are mostly sold in overseas market, must represent the artistic craftsmanship of the past.

The presences of capital market in the country can make considerable positive effects on the growth of handicrafts industry and the promotion of its foreign trade. NG should also monitor the loan provide to this handicraft Industry.

Another important aspect in the promotion of a product is packaging. There should be consistency of packaging and package size. An attractive and efficient packaging can be a very good way of gaining popularity and prestige.

Nepal being the landlocked country, the choice of transit and the means of transportation are limited. The government should come up with new arrangements to enhance the transportation and communication facilities.

Government policy also effects industry. So the government should implement effective policy and launch new concrete programs for the promotion of this indigenous industry and its export.

Organized and attractive publicity and promotional measures of the handicraft items should receive immediate attention in the foreign market.

Appropriate training centers with modern and sophisticated facilities should be set up for providing training to the personal associated with the handicraft industry. The trained craftsmen would exchange would enhance, the design and quality of the handicraft goods.

A proper and adequate market research can always be a great help for the Nepalese handicraft to survive in the foreign market.

On the whole, this is the real and traditional industry in Nepal and its development in the well balanced and organized manner will definitely lead to the improvement of the economic standard of the people to some extent through new job and employment opportunities, earning of hard currencies and through the general well being of the artist and craftsmen of the country.
