Cauliflower and cabbage are ready for sale all over the garden. Green onions are also being prepared. Beans and wheat have been harvested and sent to the market. The garden of Lalitsingh Thakuri of Dodhara Chandni Municipality-7 Kanchanbhoj which is bordered with India is now full of all kinds of vegetables.

Thakuri, who has been engaged in vegetable farming for one and a half years, has now produced various vegetables on 4 bighas of land. He saves around 2.5 million a year . Now he has sold more than 80,000 cowries alone. He expects that the same amount will be sold.

"An income of 80,000 was obtained from the cauliflower planted in one and a half wooden boxes," Thakuri said, "Cauli will be planted in it so that it will be produced again in the off-season." He has also planted cabbage in one and a half wooden boxes. Now it is being sold at 70 per kg . He sold cauliflower at 155 per kg. Now the price has decreased to 40/45 per kg .

Thukri has planted beans in half a bigha . Beans are also being sold at 80 per kg, he said. He expects to earn 500,000 more from beans alone. Apart from that, potatoes are planted in one field and onions in one field. Now half a bigha of onion wrap is also being prepared . His goal is to earn one and a half lakh by selling the berna .

Thakuri has 6 bighas of land . He used to cultivate rice and wheat traditionally. From this, 25/30 thousand would be earned in Bigha . But now he is making more than the income of one bigha from one kattha . "Earlier, more than the income earned in Bigha is now coming from one paddy," he said. Home family members are also working .

Dhan The benefits are greater than wheat farming, but the risks are also high in vegetable farming, he said. He said that due to the incessant rains last June and August, there was a huge loss of vegetables. He said that parsley, gourd and bitter gourd that were ready for sale were rotten with water. Not only that, he said that even the lahars were rotten and the investment did not rise.

It is also difficult to deliver the vegetables produced here to Mahendranagar. Shipping costs are also expensive. All the vegetables produced are not bought in Mahendranagar. That's why Thakuri is discussing with other locals who are involved in vegetable farming to purchase transport equipment. He is of the opinion that if he can buy the means, he will get a good price if he can deliver the vegetables to Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj and Butwal.

Sometimes vegetables that are not consumed in Mahendranagar are taken to the border market in Khatima, Uttarakhand, India. But the Indian security personnel regularly intercept the delivery. He says that it would be better if the vegetables produced can be sold in the country and the local level should also support this.
