No chyangra (Tibetan goats) from the Chinese this Dasain, says the Food Corporation. Nepal is said to have decided to stop taking the Tibetan goats China gifted Nepalis every Dasain, something which has been going on for the last 30 years. The sale of the 2,000 goats brought in Rs 2.5 million annually but the governments says the costs of importing and tending to the herds had become about just as high. The end of the chyangra is part of an attempt by the Ministry of Finance attempt to stop taking small grants that make donors look generous but have little or no effect on the nation's economy. Some government officials are worried though that the move might be construed as an insult and affect the centuries-old relationship between Nepal and China. Our prediction: higher meat prices this Dasain.
