Daily Life In Nepal: Farmers Harvest Potatoes Amid Production And Market Concerns
Farmers harvest potatoes at the National Potato Research Programme under the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) in Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 28, 2026. Farmers across Nepal are currently harvesting spring potatoes as seasonal vegetable prices fluctuate in local markets. Potato production remains an important part of Nepal's agricultural economy and food supply, with ongoing concerns over market availability, imports, and domestic food security. Potato harvesting continues amid reports that national potato production is expected to exceed 3.7 million tons, though seed production and supply challenges continue to affect productivity and long-term sustainability in Nepal's agriculture sector.
