Due to the lack of imports from Tibet, this Dasain there is a shortage of changra in the Himalayan districts. Because of this, there are less roaches in places like Surkhet, Nepalgunj, the provincial capital.
Tibetans have stopped coming to Changra district since 5 years in Karnali. Bhimchandra Budha of Tatopani Rural Municipality of Jumla, who came to Birendranagar in Surkhet with about 50 lambs for sale, said, "Chingra has stopped coming from the Chinese market, but there is a little production in the Himalayas. "The demand is high here. Brought Surkhet and sold it.
Tilak Rawat, a businessman from Mugu, who deals in sheep and goats living in Surkhet, said that the problem of meat shortage has also arisen in the Himalayan districts of Dolpa, Mugu, Humla, Dolpa and Mugu because the lambs did not come from Tibet. According to him, till 5 years ago, at least 5000 Changras used to enter during Dasain. "There is not much khasibo rearing in the Himalayan district, so the demand for changra is not enough," he said. According to him, live chickens are being sold at Rs 1,000 per kg and live sheep at Rs 600 per kg.
Although some traders went to Tibet to buy changra this year, they returned empty-handed due to high prices, said Chhiringkapne Lama, chairman of Mugamkarmarong Rural Municipality. According to him, before the corona epidemic, the price of changra, which was available for 10 to 15 thousand rupees, is now more than 25 thousand rupees in the Tibetan market.
Mugu-Tibet border Changra entered Mugu through Nakchenagla pass. After not getting Changra, now rural areas and Khasibo brought from Bajura, Jumla and other places are being bought and sold for 20,000 to 25,000 rupees, said Anand Shahi, a businessman from Mugu. According to him, beef meat is sold at 650 to 1000 rupees per kg and chicken meat is sold at 550 rupees per kg.
Even in the Himalayan district of Humla, the businessman Vijay Lama said that due to the high price of changra in Tibet, there is not enough changra in Humla. According to him, Changra produced in the district is being bought and sold in the local market for 20,000 to 25,000 rupees.
According to the changra trader Gwamsingh Bhandari, before the Corona epidemic, changra used to enter the district through the Hilsa pass. "Nowadays, the price of changra has increased in China, you can't get changra for less than 20,000 rupees there, so it was a problem to bring more changra," he said. According to the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives, about 280,000 chickens have been reared in the Himalayan district of Karnali.
