monkey menace pushing farmers out of nepal s hills villages

The article describes a localized agricultural crisis in Nepal's mid-hill region where monkey raids are causing crop losses, driving farmer migration. The commercial mechanism is weak: no direct commodity price impact, no supply chain disruption beyond local subsistence farming. The primary affected sector is subsistence agriculture, with potential indirect effects on local food availability and rural livelihoods. No major commercial winners or losers identified; the impact is region-specific and small-scale.
