Farmers Find Joy After Monkey Troubles

In Hetaunda, Makwanpur, farmers are very happy because they are getting a good price for their ginger. They are selling ginger, including the plant with its roots, for eighty rupees per kilogram. This ginger is in high demand for the Chhath festival. The farmers are especially pleased because they had started growing ginger on land that had been left unused for years due to problems with monkeys destroying their crops.
