Flax production in Nepal
Oilseed production in Nepal was largely replaced by grain crops which contain a higher caloric value but requires higher labor and overall decrease in nutritional quality for the Nepalese [5]. Flax production is seen to be increasing as Nepal's reported yields in 2012 are 5000 Hg/Ha and 5358 Hg/Ha in 2013 referring to a production quantity of 7500 tons and 7672 tons respectively. The cool and temperate climate of the mid-hill regions in Nepal present great potential for farmers to maximize their linseed yields and the yield of proceeding cash-crops through disease and pest control. The hill regions of the Lamjung district is less than 170 km from the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, which represents an ideal market for trading of the flax seeds or any by-products of the crop made by Nepalese farmers and their families.
