Banana farmers in Sunsari achieve record high prices due to improved market conditions and border controls
Banana farmers in Sunsari district are experiencing record-high prices this year, a significant improvement from previous years of financial struggle. Traders are now directly purchasing bananas from orchards at Rs. 5 to Rs. 7 per piece, a stark contrast to last year's prices of Rs. 1-2. Farmers attribute the improved market conditions and higher prices partly to stricter border controls that have reduced the inflow of Indian bananas.
