Abstract

This study explores the journey of tomato farming in Panchapuri Municipality, Surkhet, Nepal, focusing on its production, marketing challenges, and economic prospects; conducted between 10th July and 5th August 2023, the research engaged 80 randomly selected farmers through interviews and discussions with growers, cooperatives, and traders; the findings reveal a promising future for tomato farming, with a Benefit-Cost (B:C) ratio of 1.6 and farmers earning an average of Rs. 50.25 per kilogram; popular varieties like Gaurab 555, Srijana, and Manisha thrive in the region, and polyhouse farming has gained popularity due to its high-income potential and external support; however, the lack of robust marketing infrastructure has left farmers dependent on local collectors, limiting their profits and market reach; to fully unlock the potential of tomato farming in Panchapuri, investments in training, storage facilities, and stronger links between farmers and buyers are essential; this could pave the way for a thriving, more sustainable agricultural sector in the region.
