Bimala Bhujel

farmer

Bimala Bhujel is a farmer from northern Mechinagar, Nepal, who has been cultivating tomatoes on two bighas of land, investing approximately 800,000 Nepali Rupees in the process. Despite her efforts in farming, including dealing with pests and ensuring proper care for her crops, she faces significant challenges due to a lack of market access for her produce. With the current market situation forcing her to sell tomatoes at prices far below her production costs, she expresses concern that many farmers like herself are on the brink of displacement from agriculture.
