Farming of kodo in Jumla is witnessing a steady drop in the number of people engaged in the agricultural activity. According to the chief of the agriculture development office, Rambhakta Adhikari, fewer residents are currently cultivating the crop compared to previous periods. The reduction in farming activity stands in contrast to market conditions within the region. Demand for kodo flour has surged significantly among consumers, creating a notable gap between local agricultural output and market requirements according to the district office. Local agricultural monitors continue to observe these shifting trends in production and consumption patterns across the district. Officials emphasize that while interest in growing the crop is fading among farmers, buyers continue to seek out the milled product in substantial quantities.
