          There are many countries that not only sell the same peaches for a cheaper price but are also located closer to Nepal.  Peach trees are native to China so acquiring the trees from china would be a much more logical solution.  If the trees were to come from another country in Asia the tree would already be much more adapted to the climate and pests from that area.  Apart from the countries that could provide the trees right from Asia there are nurseries from the United Kingdom that sells trees for around the same price but the shipping cost would be less.  Van

Meuwen is a nursery in Lincolnshire, UK that could provide

the peach trees (Van Meuwen, n.d.).  The biggest

competition from North America is the United States from

states like Georgia (Peach State) and Florida where

peaches are some of the most popular crops.  Willis

Orchard Company located in Cartersville, GA also would

have been a more affordable producer because they sell 

their peach trees for less than 10 American dollars.  Nepal

will not, in the foreseeable future, be in any way a global

competitor in this product.  Peaches from Nepal will benefit

the local economy and overall health of the population but

not be competitive globally.
