After the government increased its vigilance against sale of pesticide-laced vegetables, the vegetables grown in mid-Tarai are being exported to India.
Vegetables grown in Sarlahi, Rautahat, Makawanpur, Chitwan used to be supplied to major cities inside the country including Kathmandu. However, after government agencies tightened the screw against the harmful vegetables, export of vegetables has grown swiftly.
Green vegetables are being exported to India via the Gaur border point to the Indian market in Bairganiya on a daily basis.
Cauliflower, cabbage, tomato, cucumber from Palung of Makawanpur; and tomato, bitter gourd, bottle gourd of Rautahat are being exported to India via the Gaur border point.
District Agriculture Development Office Rautahat Chief Raj Narayan Yadav said as per law Nepal and India can import and export vegetables and seeds if there is a plant quarantine at the border point. “Despite the quarantine, we are having a problem importing and exporting vegetables” .
