Peach Production In Nepal

         The proposal to send peach trees from Canadian nurseries to Nepal to enable Nepalese farmers to start their own nursery or orchard has too many issues to be a viable proposal to benefit Nepalese agriculture. The price is one of the more significant issues with the idea; the average person in Nepal does not make enough money to buy the product from the farmer in Nepal at a price that would allow the farmer to make a profit.  Although peaches may be a beneficial crop to the people of Nepal, there are many other, more realistic options of going about starting a peach orchard that would be much more advantageous to the people of Nepal.  Following all the same steps of starting the orchard just changing the origin of the trees would make more sense. To arrange to have the saplings imported from somewhere in Asia, say neighboring China where the peach tree is a native deciduous fruit bearing tree, would be more cost effective and more likely to have a favourable outcome for the farmer and Nepalese people.
