Different flowers and garlands worth Rs 100 million are imported from India annually, according to Shrestha.</p> <p>The inability to produce flowers in Nepal as per the demand is the reason why Nepal imports flowers of such huge quantity every year. “Local floriculturists produce flowers all the year round,” Shrestha told New Business Age, adding, “But the consumption is very less in other times except during festivals like Tihar.”</p> <p>Fearing loss during off-season, they produce less quantity of flowers. He said very few garlands are consumed in normal days.</p> <p>The demand for flowers has gone up by 36.36 percent in comparison to last year, FAN stated.</p> <p>There is a demand for 100,000 pieces of chrysanthemum, 300,000 globe amaranth and 1.1 million marigold in the market for Tihar festival. According to FAN, though the country is self-sufficient in chrysanthemum and globe amaranth flowers, marigold has to be imported from India. </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2017-10-18', 'modified' => '2017-10-18', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '6528', 'image' => '20171018030118_Clipboard03.jpg', 'article_date' => '2017-10-18 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '6744', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'NT Announces Attractive Offers During Festive Season', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 18: Nepal Telecom (NT), on the occasion of Tihar and Chhath, has announced different offers for its mobile service users.
