Nepali Farmers Kneed Out Weeds After Paddy Sapling Transplantation
Nepali farmers are working in a paddy field in Chhampi, on the outskirts of Lalitpur District in Nepal, kneading out the weeds weeks after the transplantation of the paddy saplings on July 19, 2024. The plantation of paddy saplings in the field, known as ''Ropain,'' is bringing high significance for farmers in Nepal, which is primarily dominant during the monsoon season that starts in June and lasts for four months. In Nepal, the paddy is being cultivated from the height of 60 meters above sea level in Terai to 3000 meters in the hills of Jumla's Chhumchaur. Nepal is annually producing about 5.5 million metric tons of paddy while the consumption stands at 7 million metric tons. Last year, Nepal produced a total of 5.55 million metric tons from 1.45 million hectares of land. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
