KATHMANDU: In anticipation of the Tihar festival, local flower garlands are being sold in various parts of the capital, Kathmandu.

Tihar is particularly known as the festival of flowers. With the local authority’s ban on plastic garlands, farmers and traders are pleased to promote their products.

According to the Floriculture Association of Nepal (FAN), there has been an abundant production of Makhamali (Gomphrena globosa) and Godawari (Chrysanthemums) flowers this year.

Dilip Badele, President of the Association, noted that 50,000 more garlands are expected to be exported this year compared to last year, which saw exports of only 150,000 garlands.

He added that there is significant demand for garland exports, particularly in the United States, Japan, Australia, Korea, several European countries, and some Gulf nations.
