Sunflower cultivation gaining popularity among farmers in NepalSunflower cultivation is becoming increasingly popular among farmers in Nepal, particularly in the Narail district, as the crop proves to be a profitable alternative to traditional farming. Local agricultural officials say interest in sunflower has grown due to its high yields and relatively low production costs. In three upazilas of the district, the total sunflower cultivation area has reached about 191 hectares, an increase of 81 hectares compared with last year. Local farmers report promising crop conditions and strong demand for sunflower oil. If weather conditions remain favourable, authorities expect a strong harvest this season and further expansion of sunflower cultivation in the coming years.
