Peach Production In Nepal
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.
