CHAPTER II: PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS

2.1 Management Practices of KFVMDB A management is an important aspect. A success of an organization depends upon among others the efficiency of its management. It is concerned with optimization of resources. Resources denote man, machine, money, material above all, time. Time is money. The delay of improper use of time means waste of money. For example, the delay in the use of ice plant, fish shed and allocation space in the phase II multi propose shed building at Kalimati market was a loss of revenue. In other words to use all infrastructures properly, it should be built as per the need of the users should be practical. Ice plant of KFVMDB found quite impractical to produce ice therefore it was not rented out yet.

2.2

Wholesale Market management system of KFVMDB

Some components are very essential to manage the wholesale market as well the Kalimati Fruits and Vegetable Wholesale Market Development Board has been following this path with this components. i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) Legal authority to the institutions managing the market. Regulatory rules and regulations and there enforcement. Market use plans. Appropriate control of assets and management. Contractual arrangements with market user. Effective decision marketing structure. Adequate trained and disciplined staff and attractive remuneration and incentive. viii) Effective contractual arrangements with service providers. ix) Economically viability and sustainability. x) Management information service.

2.2.1 Legal authority to the institution manages the market The legal authority and power is the most important condition for effective management of an organization and efficient operation of a market. The organization should be a legal authority delegated under the specific Act or bylaw. In order to provide a sound legal frame work for agriculture marketing development, there is a need for legislative provisions which improve the enabling function, economic regulatory functions and empowers the authority at various levels to restrict socially undesirable events and consequences. Acts and rules to organize legal business entities, reduce business risk, standardized trading practice, attract foreign investment and joint venture, enable free movement of goods and free pricing mechanism help improve efficiency of marketing through strong participation of the private of the markets. Kalimati Fruits and Vegetable Development Board is formulated by the formation order, February 1995 under the development Board Act. The board is empowered to formulate rules which are approved by the Government. The board can posses and deal in all kinds of property and duty fees. Legally, it has a separate and distinct entity. The Kalimati Fruits and Vegetable Development Board is need of celerity and adequacy in legal authority. The lack of clarity and well defined role and function of the Kalimati Board chairman and the market manager created problems in the management of the market experiencing frequent interference by the chairman. Since the Board is formed under the development Board Act, the government has a major role in terms of nomination of the Board Members. Due to the frequent changes of the government, the Government nominated Board Chairman and the members used to be changed. The author had experience of working with five chairmen with in the five years. 2.2.2 Regulatory rules and regulations and there enforcement to manage the market The KFVMDB is well equipped with various rules developed with the assistance of support support to new Kalimati Market Project which are as follow:-

* Revised Kalimati Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market Development and operation rules, June 1999. * Board staff Rules 1995. * Revised board staffs Rules (draft) May 2000. * Financial Administration Rules and account Manuals June 1999. * Staff Requirement Manuals. * Retail and Farmers Market Operation Manuals. * Staff Job Description. These rules are in force. However, the level of agreement is low since the enforcement of the rules particularly the market operation rule is weak. The advance of space and passage is very common in the MSB which is undesirable since it is hinders (obstructs) the movement of goods and customers and affects the business of others traders. The level of compliance of the rules depends upon its understanding by the user, adequate authority to the staff to act, promote action on defaulters and cooperation of others user. It is essential on the part of the organization that the user themselves cooperate on the full compliance of the rules. In case of non-compliance or for example use of authorized space, the board should be taking following action in sequence. - Give warning to the violator to leave authorized space in friendly words. - Issue warning in writing. - Remove the produce from the authorized space. - Levy penalty and fine. - Lastly, issues show cause notice why the lease agreement should not be terminated. The organization and its staffs should be committed that the rules are complied for the benefit of all users. The action taken against the defaulters should be transparent in order to reduce occurrence of such incidence and to make others users knowledgeable of the consequence of violation of rules. 2.2.3 Market use planning system of KFVMDB An efficient management of a wholesale market depends upon effective market use plan. The market may consist of various facilities such as selling floor or
10

shop, parking space, storage, toilet, restaurant, office rooms, management building, electrical and telecommunication facilities. A development of market facilities depend among others, the objective of market method of market operation, number of traders, amount of inflow and outflow of goods. The proper market use plans as selling space use plans, traffic and parking plan, garbage collection and disposal plan, security plan are essential to ensure efficient use of facilities, avoid congestion, maintain good sanitary condition, attain security etc. the space should be allocated separately depending upon the type of commodities such as fresh vegetables or potato or fruit. The wholesale and the retail facilities should not be with in an enclosure as far as possible. At Kalimati the retail market and the wholesale market are separate hence the customers confusion on market is very low, parking problem does not exist and customers convenience is ensured. At Kalimati Wholesale Market, the selling space is highly inadequate as the Board had to allocate the available space to all the traders registered prior to December, 1997 on an equitable basis. This has created the problem to the traders that they do not have adequate space to unload even half a truck load of vegetables. But now days try to good management to allocate the space to farmers and traders as far as possible.

2.2.4 Appropriate control of assets and manage by KFVMDB A Wholesale market dose consists of land shop, storages, office building, etc. in the case of Kalimati Market the land belongs to the Agriculture Department. The newly built facilities are handed over to the Board. However, it is not clear whether the ownership is under the Board or the Ministry of Agriculture. So that, it should be clear defined who is the owner and is responsible for short and long term maintenance and capital replacement.

2.2.5

Contractual agreement between KFVDMB and its market users

In order to ensure clear understanding and compliance of rules right and duties of the market user such as traders of wholesale market tenants and of retail shop, there should be contractual agreement between the market authority and the users. The agreement should clearly states:
11

duration of contract facilities to be used by user obligation of the users and the authority terms and condition amount of time of payment of rent and fees and penalties provision for amendments in agreement transfer of contract agreed access to leases premises arrangements for subletting

Contractual agreement is also needed to ensure discipline in market operation and minimize legal dispute and litigation. At Kalimati Market, the wholesalers have contract for space use for a period of five years and retailers for three years. They have to renew their license on an annual basis. The non-renewal of license on time means termination of the agreement.

2.2.6

Contractual agreement between KFVDMB and its service providers

The facilities and service to be provided by the market authority could be contracted out. The management of parking space, collection of entry fees, maintenance of toilets, and provision of security service can be given to private parties or organization in contract. The Kalimati Board has contractual agreement with respect to cleaning of the market and the toilets. Such arrangement was made with security firm however it was discontinued due to inefficiency. Even entry fee and parking fee collection could be arranged under contract. However, it is necessary to ensure that the undue advantages are not extracted from the market uses. Also it is to be considered particularly in case of contract of entry fee that necessary information collection is tide up with the agreement and assured. Frequency of meetings was high and members received meeting fees.

12

In practice, these committees should be: voluntary run on non-fee basis represented by real stakeholders backed by professional concerned with real issue

2.2.7

Market information system of KFVMDB

Marketing information is one of the major activities of the board. Wholesale price information is collected twice a day one in the morning around 7 a. m. and next in the afternoon at 1a.m. in addition daily arrival of commodities is rewarded price data of a commodity is collected from five selected wholesaler. The board as list of 5 selected wholesaler with two alternatives for each commodity. Also there are selected wholesalers respondents of market collection data. Daily price information is broadcasted by Radio Nepal same day at 6.35 p.m. besides, the board is publishing weakly and monthly reports for use by policy makers and traders. And some daily newspapers are publishing of price list of Kalimati Market regularly. 2.2.8 Effective decision making structure of the organization An effective and prompt decision making is one of the most important elements in the efficient management of a wholesale market. The decision makers should a composite group of experienced people representation different stakeholder including market management professional. In the Kalimati Wholesale Market Development Board director has the managing authority must be capable of making capable of making decision which can be implemented. At Kalimati Wholesale Market, there is a board of director with total members of 5 which are as follows: Chairman ( Nominated by Government) Member ( Representative by the Ministry of Agriculture)
13

Member (Chairman of ward no 13 of Kathmandu M.C.) Member (Representative by the farmers, which is nominated by Government) Member secretary (Executive Director of the Board) 2.2.8 Staff in the organization Market management is complex and it covers various aspect such as sanitation, security, traffic and parking, supplementary services management, day to day operation of markets, regular information service, legal matters, accounting, financial management and investment, staff management development. The basic objectives management is an optimum use of facilities and attains maximization of return. To achieve the complex tasks there are need of adequate staff well trained in various field. The staff moral should be high always committed to there duty and to implement the Board decision. There should be a job security, reasonable salary and adequate incentive tied with profit/loss of the organization. At Kalimati Market there is water treatment plant, ice plant, and freezer and could room hence the organization requires technical staff operating and maintaining these facilities.
