Only 20 pc of Karnali apples getting market access

"Though the demand for apples has been growing every year, local producers have been failing to establish sustainable market linkages. Nepal imports about 22,000 tons of apples every year"....... republica


"Of the total apples consumed in the country, 77 percent comes from China while 22 percent is imported from India. Only a percent of the total demand is fulfilled by domestic production. In the absence of reliable market, apples produced in Karnali are fed to cattle and used to brew liquor"......republica




well developed cold chain distribution system in the area could be a great investment opportunity...Co-operative model or a contacting for a guaranteed minimum amount of business model could work ..
