Nepal's food import challenge
Nepal imports more than Rs. 400 billion of agricultural products every year, and the figure keeps rising. At the same time, an estimated 25–35% of fresh produce is lost after harvest because of weak storage and logistics. Better cold-chain capacity lets local produce reach the market in season and out of season.
