Vegetable collection center constructed

Kathmandu - Ichhakamana rural municipality of Chitwan has constructed a vegetable collection center to facilitate collection and sale of farmers’ production. Rural municipality chair Geeta Kumari Gurung said the collection center was built at the investment of Rs 7.8 million. She further shared the initiative was taken to provide appropriate price of the production to the farmers and manage the flow of buyers in a systematic manner.

The center would be run by forming a committee from among the farmers. Farmers involved in veggie production have been facing trouble in absence of vegetable collection center. Farmers said that the center would make them easy to bring their vegetable production to the market and generate income out of it. Chair Gurung further said that Ichhakamana rural municipality has laid emphasis on the production of vegetable and fruits.
