Heatime HR System
Canadian Export Project
Nepalese have a limited amount of education, specifically in the agriculture industry. This results in the Nepalese requiring some knowledge in the process of livestock estrous cycles, including the proper time to inseminate the cow or when it is in heat (CIAQ, n. d.).
Lack of Technology
Limited Education
Poverty in Nepal
Difficulty of Transport
Since Nepal is classified as a developing country, there is little to no innovation in the technology used for livestock. From this, the Nepalese have very little background in technical enhancements, therefore creating a need in training or education of computers or similar products.
Many Nepalese people live in poverty, especially those in rural areas (World Bank Group, 2016). From this, it would be difficult to sell and promote the Heatime HR System when the Nepalese simply cannot afford it. This makes finding proper funding or resources to support the Nepalese in order to import the Heatime HR System into Nepal.
Since the focus of promoting the Heatime HR System is primarily towards livestock farmers, there is a concern for the transportation to these groups of people. This is mainly due to the fact that a majority of farmers in Nepal are located in remote areas, which are a fair distance from main cities (Government of Nepal, 2014). This creates a difficulty in how often or how many systems would be able to be transported to these areas. It is also a possibility to increase the cost of transport because of this.
Challenges.
The Heatime HR System has an enhanced technology associated with it. The technology and software would need to be properly taught to those using it, especially the technicians in Nepal (CIAQ, n. d.). This would require the CIAQ technicians to do in depth training for the Nepalese technicians to have a deep knowledge of the system. Training would also need to take place over time, as the software and maintenance would need to be learned.
After both the export and import of the Heatime HR System is approved by Canada and Nepal, there would be a period of time to wait before any results are visible. This is due to the time required for production and transportation of the systems. Also, there would be a period of time that the cow would need to wear the tag in order to obtain baseline readings of the cow’s activity. This would be a slow process, but rewarding in the long-term situation.
