The study was conducted in Kalash valley of district Chitral in
June and July 2010. The present study attempts to assess the
contribution of NTFPs to income and employment by ensuring food and
livelihood security for the rural economy in the Kalash valley
district Chitral. This study estimates the contribution to income
and employment, total production and total income from NTFP's
collections. The total production of NTFP's were recorded 21566 Kg
which gives total income of 1843380 Pak Rs. There is lack of market
availability and only 20% of the respondents were having access to
market and 80% were deprived from this.The main problems faced by
the kalash valley include lack of infrastructure, lack of
government interest, and the middle man has greatly contributed in
deprivation of benefits to the producers and collectors. In order
to overcome these problems, an efficient distribution of existing
benefits through proper institutional mechanisms is needed. In
addition, processing activities have to be encouraged through
trainings and skill development and to promote sustainable income
and employment throughout the year.
