Nepal, Feb. 9 -- The farmers in Myagdi district have grown oranges worth Rs 316 million this year. Orange is one of the major cash crops for the farmers in Myagdi.

However, the orange production and income in Myagdi district declined this year compared to last year. The farmers earned Rs 340 million by selling 4,781 metric tonnes of oranges by growing oranges in 425 hectares of land last year.

"The climate was favorable for orange production this year. However, production was lower compared to past years, though there was no disease and (natural) disasters this year," Office Chief Bastola said.

He mentioned that this is a natural cycle that resulted in a decrease in the production of oranges.
