Kamaksha Agro and Engineering Company, which is producing agricultural machinery, has introduced cardamom grading equipment in the market. The company has manufactured 2 types of grading machines, manual and electric.
Both devices separate the dried cardamom seeds into three groups, large, medium and small. Managing Director Dhruv Adhikari said that Kamaksha, which started research a year ago, has been manufacturing these devices for three months and sending them to the cardamom pocket area.
Kamaksha is currently taking the produced equipment to different districts and exhibiting it targeting districts including Panchthar, Ilam, Taplejung, Tehrathum, Dhankuta, Bhojpur and Sankhuvasabha where cardamom is produced. The equipment was also exhibited at the Agricultural Expo held in Biratnagar earlier.
Among the cardamoms gated by this equipment, the largest seeds are sold at a price of 200 rupees more than the prevailing market price, according to Deepak Nepal, a cardamom businessman of Fidim. He says that due to the lack of proper grading of cardamom, the compulsion to sell it at a low price will be reduced. The electrical equipment has the capacity to grade 100 mands and 50 mands of cardamom with manual equipment in a day .

According to the company, the price of electronic equipment is 1 lakh and the hand is around 50 thousand rupees.
