Parsa. A decade ago, farmer Paras Thakur of Triveni in Feta Rural Municipality, Bara, struggled to find laborers for traditional potato farming. If laborers were found, the cost was high and the time taken was long. Now, he has found some relief from that problem. The reason is the use of technology.Thakur now uses potato planting and digging machines (potato planter and potato digger), which has saved more than half the cost incurred in planting and digging potatoes.
