Nepal: Nuts and Fruits in Hilly Areas Project
The project will increase the agricultural income of approximately 40,000 farm households in 100 municipalities in hilly areas of five provinces: Province 1, Bagmati, Gandaki, Karnali and Sudurpashchim. It will improve the institutional capacity for managing the nursery and horticulture sector. In addition, the ADF grant will enable the exploration of Nepal’s trade potential and contribute to regional economic benefits by supporting investments in trade facilitation equipment and facilities, and training producers, buyers and traders in internationally accepted sanitary and phytosanitary standards.
