Kavre Farmers Face Crisis as Potato Prices Plummet Despite Bumper Harvest

Kavrepalanchok. Farmers in Kavrepalanchok are currently harvesting potatoes from their fields. Despite increased production, local farmers are worried due to a lack of market for selling the potatoes.

In areas primarily known for vegetable production in the district, such as Panchkhal, Mandandeupur, Nala, and Panauti, farmers are busy harvesting potatoes. Sacks of potatoes are stacked in the field terraces, and piles of potatoes are visible along the roadside. However, the farmers do not appear happy. Market prices are falling, and traders who usually come to the fields have stopped visiting.
