Vegetables are a key source of income for farmers. But in most places, farmers lack a proper market to sell their produce. Similarly, farmers residing near Nganglam town in Pema Gatshel have been selling their goods in open spaces. Now, with the completion of a newly constructed two-story building, they no longer have to endure the heat and dust to sell their produce. The new vegetable shed was inaugurated as part of the 117th National Day celebrations.

The much-awaited vegetable shed in Nganglam town is finally complete and operational.

The Dungsam Farmers Market has designated space to sell local and imported vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. It also has a cafeteria and handicraft stalls.

Sherab Wangmo, a shopkeeper said, “The new facility has made things much more comfortable for both vendors and customers. In the past, we sold our items alongside grocery products, and customers also had to run from shop to shop looking for vegetables. Now, customers can find everything they need in one place.”

“The Dungsam Farmers Market has given me a small space to set up a cafeteria. I’m hopeful this opportunity will help me support my family,” said Kinzang Dorji, a cafeteria owner.

The facility is expected to improve the livelihoods of businessmen and farmers and contribute to the overall growth of the local economy.

“Before, we had to endure the heat and the dust. Moreover, during the rainy season, customers would avoid visiting us and we had to carry our products back home,” said Norbu Lhadon, a farmer from Chhoekhorling Gewog.

The shed also includes a space to host a cultural programme.

The Dungsam Farmers Market shed was built spending Nu 16 M, funded by the Commercial Agriculture and Resilient Livelihoods Enhancement Programme in collaboration with the Regional Agriculture Marketing and Cooperatives Office in Monggar.

The facility will benefit people from other eastern districts as well.
