Baglung Becomes Self-Sufficient in Milk Production as Farmers Embrace Dairy Farming

Baglung. Ten years ago, upon returning from employment in Malaysia, Lilaadhar Sharma of Baglung Municipality-12 is now operating a cow farm in the village. The business, started with the belief that hard work in one's own country can yield ample income, has made him a commercial milk producer.

Sharma's farm currently has 25 mother cows, along with some calves and buffaloes. He has also operated a sales center in Baglung bazaar by producing milk in the village. Bikash Poudel of Jaimini Municipality-1, Kushmisera, who returned after spending four years in Saudi Arabia, also has a stable full of milch cows. For him, who has become a commercial milk producer, he and his spouse are now busy with milk production and sales.
