“My husband is a mason and I am an onion seed producer. My husband’s work is seasonal while I work throughout the year. He earns NPR 700 (GBP 4.9) per day; I earn NPR 950 (GBP 6.7) by selling one kg of onion seeds. Annually, I sell seeds worth more than NPR 150,000 (GBP 1056), whereas it is difficult to estimate my husband’s income.” says Pibala Oli, a seed farmer of Mehelkuna, Surkhet.
