Nepal, April 29 -- Most of the private firms in Jhapa district have been found to maintain no record of the sale of chemical fertilizers. The Agriculture Knowledge Centre in the district exposed it during a market monitoring conducted on Tuesday.

Such enterprises are directed to compulsorily maintain a standard. Every sale requires details and transaction made transparent by issuing bills, the Centre underscored.
