Premium Chyangras to cost Rs. 50,000
Summary
Premium chyangra prices are expected to reach Rs. 50,000 each as heavy snowfall, floods and landslides disrupt transport from Mustang and other high-altitude regions. Traders say limited supply and costly movement to Kathmandu are pushing prices higher ahead of Dashain.
Key Points
- Premium-quality chyangra bought in Mustang are already selling for around Rs. 37,000 each and may reach Rs. 50,000 in markets.
- Heavy snowfall, floods, landslides and river erosion have disrupted transport, forcing some traders and farmers to travel by air or on foot.
- Farmers and traders say lower supply and high transport costs are driving prices up ahead of Dashain and Tihar.
- Mustang sold 18,000 sheep and chyangras last year, generating Rs. 360 million in revenue.
