With the economy of the country import-driven, most businesses were affected after the closure of the international borders. But it came as a blessing to the farmers who have been competing with cheap priced imported vegetables before.
Selling local farm produce has become easier for farmers of Nangkor in Pema Gatshel. To further add on to their advantage, the recent announcement with regard to re-opening of schools has further boosted the hopes of vegetable growers in the village. Besides selling their produce to local customers, Nangkor farmers also sell most of their vegetables to schools in the district.
