Nepal has successfully exported 140 tonnes of pickles worth Rs 82.48 million to 10 different countries, reflecting the growing international demand for Nepali agro-based products. This achievement highlights how traditional food items, when processed and presented well, can find strong markets beyond national borders. Nepali pickles, known for their unique taste and natural ingredients, are gaining popularity among global consumers seeking authentic flavors.
Officials and industry stakeholders credit improved processing techniques, better packaging, and stricter quality control for this positive export performance. Value addition at the local level has played a key role in making Nepali pickles competitive in international markets. The export chain has also created income opportunities for farmers, processors, and small entrepreneurs involved in producing raw materials and finished products.
The steady growth in pickle exports is seen as an encouraging sign for Nepal’s agro-export sector. With continued government support, investment in food processing, and access to new markets, agro-based industries are expected to contribute more significantly to foreign earnings and strengthen the national economy.
