MYAGDI: Locals of Tikot, a village in Myagdi district, have taken to the internet for marketing their agricultural products.

They have been using Facebook to advertise their local products and find prospective buyers.

It is said that the traders from the market areas have been contacting the farmers on the social media and negotiating the price of different agricultural products.

The farmers in the area have been marketing potato, cabbage, cauliflower, tomato, goats and rabbits on the Internet.

"Businesspersons from Pokhara and Beni contact us after we post pictures and prices of the produces on Facebook. We send our agricultural products to the market after publicising the same on Facebook and negotiating the prices over phone," Dilmaya Armaja, a local farmer, said.

Around 200 households in Histan VDC Ward No 4, 5 and 6 have been growing green vegetables. Many farmers also keep goats and rabbits. Agriculture produces worth Rs 20 million grown here are marketed to Pokhara and Beni every year.
