Farmers in Benikot, Byas Municipality-13 of Tanahun, have sold oranges worth Rs 20 million this season. Farmer Phal Bahadur Thapa alone earned Rs 1.65 million. Despite the village’s proximity to Damauli, poor and steep road conditions continue to hinder daily transport of oranges to markets in Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara.
