They are worried about the loss of vegetables produced in Terai Madhesh due to heavy rains and cold waves. The market is worried about selling the produced vegetables. Ganga Chaudhary, a farmer of Gaushala-3, said that the vegetables that have been grown in a difficult manner are not getting a market and a reasonable price, so they are selling them cheaply because they are afraid that the vegetables will rot.

She went to Bardibas market to sell vegetables and said that she is finding it difficult to raise investment and transportation expenses. She said that it was a problem to sell cauliflower at the same price on Sunday, which was sold at 10 rupees per kg last Saturday. She said that adding seeds, fertilizer, fertilizer, medicine, and hard work did not get any value for cauliflower.

Bardibas-6 Sunil Singh, who came to sell vegetables from Kisannagar, says that after seeing the price of vegetables in the market, farming seems useless. "After suffering for months, vegetables were grown," he said, "When you eat the fruit, selling or letting it rot is a dilemma." If you sell it yourself, you get 2/4 more per kilo. If you give it to the trader, the price will be higher.'

Compared to last week, the price of vegetables has become 4 times cheaper in Bardibas market. Farmers say that vegetables have not been priced in the market for weeks. Cauli, which was sold from 70 to 100 last week, has fallen by 10 rupees per kg. According to the Agricultural Produce Market Management Committee, Bardibas, last week, potato which was sold at 120 rupees, potato from 60 to 20, radish from 40 to 5, and banta from 60 to 20 rupees per kg .

Vegetables did not find market, farmers in trouble due to lack of cold storage Bodh Bahadur Ele, Chairman of the Agricultural Produce Market Board of Directors, said that the prices of other seasonal and non-seasonal vegetables are also very low this time. Despite the fact that the falafal is cheap, the daily farmers and traders said that the business was not as expected from the nearly one and a half hundred vegetable stalls in the Bardibas market. "The seasonal vegetable production is very high," he said. "Currently, vegetables are plentiful, there is no price," he said, "In a few days, there will be a shortage of vegetables and the price will go up." For this, the government needs to manage the vegetables that are produced in excess during the season and take them out when the demand increases. He demanded that the policy of the government should be made in order to benefit both the farmers and the businessmen and that there should be an arrangement for storage.

The demand of farmers has not been met when the cold storage started by Bardibas municipality to store fruits and vegetables according to the season has stalled. The Bardibas municipality has not allocated the budget for the storage house in the model agro village located in Bardibas-6, 7 and 8 even in the current financial year .

Synergy Gyanjyoti JV, which got a contract with Bardibas municipality in 2075/076 for the construction of a cold storage house, has done the work according to the contract, but has not done the required work such as building walls, covering and installing the necessary technology . Farmers demand that Bardibas Municipality, which has started construction under the Mayor's Agriculture Program, should put it into operation as soon as possible.

Vegetables did not find market, farmers in trouble due to lack of cold storage Sharmila Kumari Tamang, accounting officer of Bardibas Municipality, said that the payment was received from the municipality in 2079/080 saying that the work was done according to the contract agreement. Tamang said that the municipality paid 50 million 42 million 39 thousand 361 as per the contract made by the company as it was not said to complete the contract.
