Ilam, August 4. Rames Gadtaula of Suryodaya municipality has cultivated 12 gotas of cucumbers this year on his land in five plantations. ‘The yams seem to be running out. The last harvest is done and cucumbers are selling well this year,’ he said. ‘When delivered to Charali and Birtamod in Jhapa, at least each gota is sold for Rs 30 to 90. Even after collecting from other farmers around, we give the same price.’
He said that it takes 150,000 rupees to grow cucumbers. He said, “Maybe I made 600,000 or 700,000 rupees,” and “Many farmers in our village grew cucumbers.” Almost all farmers sold at least 400 to 500 cucumbers.
Farmer Gataura said that many farmers in the area grow cucumbers every year as the income is good. Yogendra Rai and Sanjay Rai of Surydaya-12 are also engaged in cucumber cultivation. “In the beginning, the drought troubled us a bit and irrigation was reduced, but maybe 2,000 cucumbers grew,” he said.
Today, although the roads in Suyudaya are unpaved, vehicles can pass through all year round, making it very easy to sell vegetables to farmers in the village. Even if they are produced, they will only rot in the fields if they cannot be transported.
The construction of at least 3 km of black paper roads initiated by the previous local government in all 14 districts of the city under the “one district, one road” policy is still continuing.
The municipal government, which has entered its second term, is also continuing its previous work and plans. Even now, construction is ongoing on gutters, gravel, walls and black sheets on roads in all constituencies.
Suyudaya Municipal Economic Commission coordinator Devendra Sharma Acharya said that 18 km of black paper work has been completed. Similarly, coordinator Sharma informed that 130 km of stone crushing work has been completed so far.
Each district has allocated a budget of at least Rs 50 lakh for Bahmase road. Mayor Ran Bahadur Rai said the district has allocated a budget of up to Rs.
“The agricultural products are all in the village and there is no way to transport them to the market. The people will suffer economic losses if the agricultural products they produce rot and deteriorate. Now, the village is gradually gaining convenient transportation,” he said. “The agricultural products produced by Suryodaya farmers will no longer be lost due to inconvenient transportation. Farmers can easily reach the market. We are proud of this.
After the rainy season, in previous years, the roads become muddy and there is no transportation facility, and the agricultural products produced by farmers here, such as golbenda, iskus, akbare, cucumber, banda, etc., are rotting in the fields.
Malim, Aathghare, Yang of Suryodaya-12 are good districts for vegetable production. Another farmer, Ram Rai, said that currently lambs in Malim are in good condition and he has been providing transportation services himself.
“The vehicles travelled to Malim Puthar near Biringkhola to collect vegetables from Asaretar, Lepcha villages and other villages,” he said. “We have taken this vegetable to Jhapa, sold it and paid for it.”
The farmers here produce and sell vegetables like cucumber, golbenda, iskus, akbare, farsi, banda, cauliflower, iskus tops, farsi tops, etc.
