Marigold farming expands to 45 ropanis in Tanahun, empowering 45 women

TANAHUN: Fields in Aandhimul Yanchowk, Aanbukhaireni Rural Municipality-1 of Tanahun, have turned vibrant with marigold flowers ahead of Dashain, as commercial flower farming continues to expand in the area.

Started three years ago, the initiative now covers 45 ropanis of land and has provided 45 local women with opportunities for entrepreneurship and financial independence.

The women, who cultivate flowers collectively, are currently busy harvesting and selling their produce. Demand for 50 kilograms of flowers during the first harvest has boosted their enthusiasm and strengthened their confidence in the market potential of the enterprise.
