Horticulture Farm
Fruit, vegetable and nursery blocks — the high-value end of the cropping system.
The crops that pay per kattha, not per bigha.
Horticulture is where a small holding can earn. A farmer with half a bigha cannot compete on rice, but can on off-season vegetables, a mango block or a well-run nursery. The horticulture farm works on that arithmetic: which varieties perform in Terai heat and humidity, how to get a crop into the market when the price is high, and how to keep it saleable after harvest.
The farm carries orchard blocks of mango, litchi and guava; open and protected vegetable beds for off-season production; a nursery raising fruit saplings and vegetable seedlings for distribution; and post-harvest work on grading, packing and short-term storage.
Orchard blocks
Mango, litchi and guava — variety, spacing, training and pruning.
Vegetables
Off-season and protected cultivation for the months with the best price.
Nursery
Grafted saplings and healthy seedlings raised for farmer distribution.
Post-harvest
Grading, packing and storage — where most of the value is usually lost.
