Mustang Farmers earns 35 crore by selling Himalayan goats
Goats in Himalayas
Myagdi, November 7. Farmers in Mustang district made Rs 350 million this year by selling Himalayan goats during the Dashain and Tihar festivals.
According to the veterinary hospital and livestock service centre in Mustang, a Himalayan goat sells for Rs 35,000 on average. Mustang exported 7,000 Himalayan goats in Dashain and 3,000 in Tihar, according to Center chief Dandapani Sapkota.
The goats reared in the Himalayan region are exported after quarantine clearance. The number of export this year is however half the previous year as no such goats were brought from Tibet.
Most of the Himalayan goats are therefore from Mustang. However, the traders generally provide less information on number of goats they sell, which causes problem in keeping exact record, Sharma added.
The farmer and trader needs to pay Rs 15 per Himalayan got for quarantine clearance.
