Benefits to Nepal Sheep play a large role in the agriculture industry in Nepal. They provide wool, a source of protein, transportation, and fertilizer. However, due to lack of electric shearing machines, it can take 2 people in between 2-4 hours to shear a sheep, and it nearly impossible to get a close cut, due to risk of accidentally cutting the sheep's skin. (Gavignan, 2000). By introducing an electric shearing machine, the shearing time can be cut down to minutes, making the process less labour intensive and time consuming for the farmers. In addition, it is much easier to get a close cut, improving the yield.
By making the process of shearing easier, farmers may want to increase their herd side, which would then increase their farm's output, providing higher income.
Benefits to Canada The shearing machines may be purchased through the Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers Limited. The Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers Limited (CCWG) is a Canadian operation that strive to provide Canadian sheep producers and producers with an efficient and competitive wool marketing and livestock supplies service, they employ many Canadians in their business aspect, customer service, as well as shipping and receiving products (CCWG Livestock Supplies, 2014).
By exporting through the CCWG, Canadians are employed through this co-operative, in addition to the transportation that is needed to get this product to Nepal.
