Arjun Timilsina

Arjun Timilsina is a farmer from Hemja, Nepal, who has been engaged in potato cultivation for over a decade. He expresses concerns about the declining agricultural productivity due to insufficient irrigation, rising costs of fertilizers, and the encroachment of residential development on arable land. Timilsina notes a significant reduction in the area he can farm, from 20-25 ropanis to just 10, as the region transitions from agricultural land to housing plots.
