    Dang, Nepal – At a time when many young people in Nepal are seeking jobs abroad, one ambitious entrepreneur has carved a profitable niche in agriculture. Birendra Khadka, a young farmer from Ghorahi Sub-Metropolitan City, has found success in strawberry cultivation, earning a substantial income from his venture.

    Khadka has been growing strawberries on leased land at Swargadwari Ashram in Jhigaura, Ghorahi-14. His innovative approach to farming has led to an annual turnover of approximately Rs. 1.4 million. After deducting expenses, he manages to earn between Rs. 500,000 to Rs. 600,000 per season. His journey into commercial strawberry farming began with a desire to create opportunities in Nepal rather than seeking employment abroad.

    Breaking Traditional Farming Trends

    Strawberry farming is not a common agricultural practice in Dang, where traditional crops like rice and maize dominate. However, Khadka saw potential in diversifying the farming landscape. By utilizing 16 katthas of land, he introduced modern farming techniques and focused on cultivating high-yield strawberries, which are in high demand in local markets.

    “I wanted to do something different and prove that agriculture can be profitable if done right,” Khadka shared. “Strawberries have a good market, and with the right care and investment, they can generate significant income.”

    Investment and Profitability

    Starting a commercial strawberry farm requires an initial investment in quality seedlings, fertilizers, irrigation, and labor. According to Khadka, he invested in high-quality strawberry plants and adopted advanced farming techniques to maximize production. His farm produces fresh, organic strawberries that are sold in markets and directly to consumers at competitive prices.

    Strawberries have a short growing cycle and can be harvested multiple times in a season, making them a lucrative alternative to traditional crops. With a strategic marketing plan, Khadka has secured a steady customer base, ensuring consistent sales and profits.

    Inspiring Other Young Farmers

    Khadka’s success story is inspiring many young people in Nepal to consider agriculture as a viable career option. His achievements highlight the potential of commercial farming in generating employment and boosting the local economy. He encourages other aspiring entrepreneurs to explore modern agricultural techniques and take advantage of available resources.

    “Agriculture is not just about traditional farming anymore. There are many opportunities in organic and high-value crops,” he emphasized. “With the right knowledge and effort, young people can build successful businesses without leaving the country.”

    The Future of Strawberry Farming in Nepal

    With the increasing demand for fresh and organic produce, Nepal’s strawberry farming industry has great potential for expansion. Experts believe that if more farmers adopt modern techniques and receive government support, the sector can thrive.

    Organizations promoting agriculture have taken an interest in Khadka’s venture, offering guidance on improving yield and market access. His farm serves as a model for sustainable and profitable farming in Nepal.

    Birendra Khadka’s journey proves that with determination, innovation, and proper planning, agriculture can be a rewarding profession. His success in strawberry farming not only secures his financial future but also contributes to Nepal’s agricultural development.
