Farmer Struggles with Goat Farming Amidst Rising Costs and Market Instability
Summary
Khari Dai, a goat herder in Pharping, struggles with rising costs and market instability that have made goat farming unprofitable despite government promises of support.
Key Points
- Khari Dai has been a goat herder in Pharping for 10 years but now raises fewer goats due to difficulties.
- Rising prices of animal feed and materials have made it hard for goat farmers to cover costs.
- Market instability has forced farmers to sell goats at a loss despite initial hopes of good prices.
- Government support has not effectively reached small farmers like Khari Dai, worsening their situation.
