But the claim of the businessmen who are entering illegally, it is estimated that the consumption in the valley will be less than last year, the businessmen say - ”even if the food supply and trading companies do not sell subsidized goats, the market price will not increase”.
As Dasain approaches, Khasi-Boka traders are busy. At this time, it is their routine to collect goats from the villages and sell them in the city. The businessmen who were disappointed when the highway was blocked by landslides are excited when the highway is operational. And they have started to fill the cage by bringing Khasi-Boka Valley.
"From ordering and booking Khasi to transportation in the district, the work is being carried out in full swing. Everyone is bringing local khasi-goats," said Janak Khadka, president of the Kathmandu Chaupaya procurement system. There is no need to import from India.'
According to the Sangh's data, around 65,000 Khasi-Boka and Changra are consumed in the valley during Dasain. He said that this year, there are enough in the country, so the possibility of coming from India is low. Businessmen say that this time, they will be brought from Rukum, Rolpa, Solu, Banke, Bardia to Bhojpur, Ilam and other districts in the east to Khasi-Boka Valley.
Khasi-Boka Kalanki brought from different districts are sold from areas such as Khasi Bazaar, Bhrikutimandap, Balaju Bypass, Satdobato, Koteshwar, Tinkune, Gaushala, Bhaktapur, Lokantali, Sallaghari, Chawhil. "No matter how much local Khasi-Boka is produced in the country, there is no possibility of shortage. The price will not increase, Khadka said, this time the market price is the same as compared to last year. Here, Khasi-Boka is being sold for Rs 650 to Rs 700 per kg. For Dasain, the government-owned food supply and trading company has been selling, but this time it has decided not to sell subsidized Khasi-Boka and Changra . Due to the blocking of the main road along with the political events developed after the Jen-G movement, food has informed that the decision has been reached not to sell the discounted Khasi-Boka this time.
'This time there was a plan to bring 1500 Khasi-Goats and about 300 Changras from Mustang and sell them cheaper than the market price . It has already been decided to give a discount of Rs 10 per kg on these four pieces,' said Bhim Bahadur Thapa, the head of the sales department of the company. The condition of the road is also not good, that's why we have come to the decision not to sell discounted khasi-boka this time during Dasain. But the businessmen have claimed that the market price will not increase even if there is no sale of the government discount. "Even if food supply and trading companies do not sell subsidized khasi-goats, the market price does not increase," said Thapa, "the price does not increase more than 725 rupees per kg during Ashtami and Navami." Sales have already started from the district for Dasain. Some have already entered Kathmandu, some are in the process of coming due to the road. This time, we are preparing to send 50 to 60 thousand goats to the valley, but the consumption is estimated to be only 40 to 45 thousand,' he said. Said .
Traders buy goats from farmers for 600 to 650 rupees per kg. Then they bring it to the market and sell it at 7 to 7.5 hundred rupees per kilo. "No matter how many goats the farmers have, they send them to the market only through traders. As a result, the farmers could not get a fair price,'' said Subedi, 'traders have benefited more than the farmers. For the farmers, it would be beneficial to have a collection center in the district and mobile shops in the villages. According to the
businessman, the police obstructs the transport at various places. Obstruction is done on the pretext of veterinary documents . But it enters from India with the agreement of the government. "During transportation from the district, they are obstructed by showing the standard of transportation, and the police charge money under the pretext of that," said Subedi, president of the federation, "It would be great if the farmers' produce could come to the market easily. Because of the roads and standards, goats and goats could not come from the farmer's cages, otherwise there is enough production in Nepal.'
