Parbat district had also witnessed good paddy production last year compared to the previous year.
With the better output, the farmers in Parbat are excited during the time of harvesting. Chief of the Centre, Basudev Regmi, shared that timely seedling plantation in paddy pocket areas and continued rainfall contributed to better yielding. Of the 28,000 hectares of land, paddy plantation is done in 21,000 hectares of land, the Centre said. However, some part of the field is still barren as the farmers have to rely on rains for lack of irrigation supply.
