Workers all set to get revision in minimum wages
The workers in Nepal are set to get a wage revision, what with the Labour Advisory Committee supporting the agreement between industry owners and workers on the question of increasing the minimum wages. A meeting of the committee chaired by Mr Lekh Raj Bhatia, Minister for Labour and Transport endorsed the proposal.According to the agreement, the minimum monthly wages for a highly skilled worker would be Rs 4,950, for skilled Rs 4,760, semi-skilled Rs 4,650 and for unskilled Rs 4,600. It was also decided that this wage revision would not be applicable for the workers of the jute industry.A task force would be set up to give their recommendations of whether, the news standards of wages should be applicable to the jute industry, since it has to stand up to competition from the Indian jute industry, the suggestions for which would be tendered in a period of 15 days.Another committee would recommend on likely measures expected from the government to help the labour intensive carpet and garment industry as the impact would be widely felt in these industries too.

ustrial crisis’– Ms Shakya, Minister March 17, 2009 (Nepal)
The Minister for Industry, Ms Shakya announced that the government would not declare a state of industrial turmoil and crisis, but would implement policies and measures to solve the industrial problems faced by the business community.Ms Shakya said this while addressing a delegation of members from different trade association bodies, including Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), who had earlier urged the Nepalese government to declare a state of industrial crisis in the country. The members of the trade associations have put up various demands, including waiver of demand fee for electricity, a right to close units if requisite government help is not forthcoming, frame policy for ‘no work, no pay’ and declare industrial zones as no strike areas.According to Mr Joshi, President of FNCCI, if the government does not come forward to help the industry on an urgent basis, many companies would face closure in the next few weeks, leading to mass un-employment among workers.

US interested in signing trade pact with Nepal
The United States is showing interest in signing a bilateral trade and investment agreement with Nepal. It had sent a draft proposal on a probable agreement to the country last month, in order to boost trade and investment between the two countries, informed Mr. Chiranjivi Nepal, Adviser to Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala.The South Asian Country is studying the draft proposal and its contents. This trade pact, if signed, would prove to be helpful to augment garment exports from the country to the US, believe officials of Nepal.Ms. Koirala had lobbied with Senators for duty-free access to Nepali readymade garments during her recent visit to US, which is a second biggest investor in Nepal after India. As per the statistics from Nepal Garments Association, over the past few years Nepali garments are witnessing a plunge of 80 percent in exports to the US. Currently, there are about 1,570 foreign investment projects operating in the country, worth around US $2.13 billion.

Political interference takes toll on state-owned industries
November 07, 2009 (Nepal)
Financial health of state-owned industries has been severely impacted by the political interference, admitted Minister for Industry Mr. Mahendra Raya Yadav. He informed that the Ministry is of the view to sell properties of the country's oldest and largest mills through a tender procedure. A special economic zone (SEZ) would be set up on land of Biratnagar Jute Mill, he added.On 3rd September the government put this mill into pay-off system; however, the mill workers have been denied their promised wages. In addition to this, various state-owned industries as well as the mills functioning in Sunsari-Morang corridor would be moved to SEZ.Sluggishness of the ministries had hampered handing over process of multi-fuel plant to the private sector, he said.

XI. FLORICULTURE
XI. FLORICULTURE
Due to the variation in climate, topography and vegetation, Nepal has a diversity of ornamental plants which could be scientifically cultivated to promote export oriented business. The flower and orchid industry is presently concentrated in the Kathmandu valley. The commercial development of floriculture is still a very early stage of development. Out of nearly 25 flower growers, only 3 have entered export business in recent times. The development of tissue culture initiated by the National Herbarium and Plant Laboratory at Godavari is opening up opportunities for mass production of flowers which could be exported from Nepal. Already tissue culture method pf propagation has been successfully developed in the production of orchids and other cut flower species carnation and chrysanthemums have also been similarly developed.
Prospects for the development of floriculture business are excellent especially for the following species of orchids: cymbidiums, dendrobiums, calanthe, ceologyne. Similarly in other cut flowers carnations, gerbera, rose, gladiolus primulinus, iris polyanthes, chrysanthemum, narcissus tazella offer very good prospects. It is also feasible to introduce the following varieties for commercial development in Nepal: Exotic orchids - paphiopedilum, cattelya hybrids, arachris, epidendrons, mokara, oncidium and odontoglossums; exotic cut flowers - tulipa. anthurium, alstroemeria, freesia and gysophilila.
Foreign collaboration for the development of floriculture to provide technical know-how for cultivation of flowers is required to meet the standards demanded in international markets and to provide guidance in market identification and development. The availability of direct flight connections to Frankfurt, London, Dubai, New Delhi, Singapore and Hongkong offer good prospects for the development of a profitable export oriented floriculture business in Nepal.
X. INTEGRATED POULTRY DEVELOPMENT
X. INTEGRATED POULTRY DEVELOPMENT
The production of eggs and chicken in 1988/89 was estimated to be around 274 million and 10.2 million respectively. Local production is supplemented by imports from India. The average annual yields of egg and meat are low being around 84 eggs 1.6 kg. of meat. Low production and productivity in poultry farming is due to poor foundation stock and feed, and dis-economies of scale due to small scale operations. Commercial poultry enterprises are concentrated in the urban areas, with 15 of the 18 major hatcheries located in Kathmandu valley.
Integrated poultry development projects using modern breeding techniques with high yielding foundation stock combined with a large flock would be profitable venture as it could achieve economies of scale and offer poultry products at a competitive price to serve the unsatisfied demand in the country. A poultry feed mill using raw materials readily available in the country such as grains, bran, oil cake, bone meal could form an integral part of such a project. The production of eggs and chicken from such a project would help to meet growing local demand and also offer opportunities for export to neighbouring countries.

IX. INTEGRATED DAIRY INDUSTRY
IX. INTEGRATED DAIRY INDUSTRY
Nepal is a net importer of dairy products. The import of milk products - powder, condensed concentrate, butter, cheese - is estimated to exceed Rs. 120 mn. per annum. Despite these imports there is a severe shortage of fresh milk, infant milk and other milk products in the country.
Nepal has a long tradition in dairy farming. In fact Nepal has in the past exported milk products to India and Tibet in the form of ghee. She could develop the dairy industry to meet domestic demand as well as to renew exports to India and other markets. The topographical and climatic conditions are well suited to dairy development. An integrated dairy industry incorporating related activities such as improved livestock breeding, cattle feed production and processing of milk products would offer promising prospects for profitable investment. Such a project could build up on existing small dairy units spread around the country through a well organised programme of extension services to improve livestock breeds and an efficient collection system for processing in a central unit.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
I. MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS
Due to varied agro-climatic environment, Nepal is very rich in medicinal and aromatic plants with over 700 plant species. The collection of such plants from wild sources has been practised since ancient times. With the establishment of the Royal Drugs Research Laboratory in 1962 the commercial utilisation of medicinal plants has been encouraged. More than 300 species have been screened and studied and extraction of diosgenin, reserpine, alkaloids of belledona, glycosides of digitalis, lemon grass oil, rosin, turpentine and menthol has commenced. Nepal, a traditional exporter of crude herbs, is now gradually emerging as an exporter of processed herbs and aromatic plants. In recent times commercial cultivation of medicinal plants such as atropa belladona and aromatic plants such as palmarosa, lemon grass, citronela and mentha arvensis have assumed importance. Recent studies also indicate good prospects for the cultivation and processing of chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium (pyrethrum), claviceps purpurea (Ergot), digitalis lanata, eucalyptus camaldulensis, glycyrrhiza flabra, mucuna pruriens, piper longum and valeriana wallichi.
The medicinal and aromatic plants can be exploited for the production of following: essential oils from lemon grass, citronella, palmarosa and mint, oleoresin from ginger, large cardamons, timur and tejpat; turpentine oil and rosin from chir pine; medicines from valeriana wallichii, calamous acrous and nardostachye jatamanshi. In addition to traditional medicines and essential oils, herbs and essences also have a potential as a raw material for the production of cosmetics and perfumes, herbal teas and natural health products.
II. MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
The Plant Pathology section of the Department of Agriculture's research stations at Khumaltar (Kathmandu valley) is producing mushroom spawn. This unit has well qualified staff to undertake research, spawn production and for extension work.
The potential for mushroom production on a commercial scale is good speacially with a view to marketing overseas as fresh mushroom, dried mushroom and canned mushroom.
III. VEGETABLE SEED PRODUCTION
A wide variation in agro-climatic regions from tropical to temperate and alpine climates provides opportunities to produce seed of a wide range of varieties. More importantly, the pockets of micro-climates seperated by high mountains provide ideal environments where the risk of loosing parental lines of high value seeds is minimal. Vegetable seed production is undertaken in 15 different areas with the following 4 special areas highly successful in the production of a variety of seeds: Thak Marpha in the Western Development Region (elevation 2516 m.) - cabbage, carrot, cress, peas, turnip, broad leaf mustard; Mushikot in the Mid-Western Development Region (elevation 1460 m.) - onion, radish, cauliflower, peas, turnip, spinach, capsicum, knolkohl; Kathmandu calley in the Central Development Region (elevation 60 M.) - cauliflower, cress, spinach, turnip, radish, broad leaf mustard; sarlahi in the Central Development Region (elevation 60 M) - tomato, egg plant, cucurbits, capsicum, spinach, peas, okra.
Nepal has well qualified vegetable seed agronomists and vegetable seed breeders. The vegetable development division in the Department of Agriculture has many regional farms located in different agro-climatic regions with well equipped production, cleaning and storage facilities. The division can also provide technical supervision and quality control services through well equipped seed testing laboratories.
Very good potential exists in Nepal for the establishment of vegetable seed farms catering to both domestic and foreign markets. Potential markets in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Thailand could be developed successfully. The seed quality standards in these countries are close to Nepalese seed standards. Export markets in American and European countries too could be tapped with the participation of investors from these counntries.
IV. FLOWER SEEDS
The availability of varied climatic conditions and inexpensive labour provide Nepal a comparative advantage to produce flower seeds at low cost. Commercial production and export of flower seeds require maintenance of high technical standards and good supervision. Technology and expertise of foreign companies could be effectively employed to develop this profitable agro-business in Nepal.
V. VEGETABLE PRODUCTION FOR EXPORT
Due to the variety of agro climatic regions and fertile soils Nepal produces a wide variety of vegetables of good quality. The major items of vegetables grown on a commercial scale are cabbage, carrot, turnip, radish, cauliflower, peas, capsicum, egg plant, tomato, okra, knol kohl, beans and cucumber. The major centres of vegetable production are in the Kathmandu valley and in the Dhanusa, Sarlahi, Bara, Makawanpur and Chitwan districts. Almost the entire production of vegetables is consumed within the country, though some exports to India and Tibet are taking place. Recently the production of snow peas for export to Japan has got off to a satisfactory atart and other items like french bean are to be produced for export. This has clearly demonstrated the potential which exists for the production of a few special varieties of vegetables on a commercial scale for export. Foreign investment for the scientific cultivation of vegetables for export would be a profitable business.
VI. FRUIT PROCESSING
VII. TEA DEVELOPMENT
Nepal has commenced commercial production of tea only in comparatively recent times. The Nepal Tea Development Corporation, a government agency owns seven gardens with a total area of around 880 hectares. In addition the private sector owns tea gardens with a total area of around 1250 hectares. These tea growing areas are in the Eastern districts of Ilam, Panchthar Tehrathum and Dhankuta, almost adjacent to the world renowned tea gardens of darjeeling in India.
The government has given high priority to increase tae production in the Eastern Districts with a view to achieving self-sufficiency in tea and to export high quality teas to overseas market. In order to encourage tea cultivation exemption from the land ceiling law has been provided.
Good prospect exist for the production of quality orthodox teas in Nepal similar to the Darjeeling tea produced in India. Improved cultural practises, latest technical know-how and efficient management systems are required to bring the tea industry in line with the other tea producing countries in the region.
VIII. SERICULTURE
The development of sericulture has been identified as offering very good potential for development in the mid-hills and Terai belt of Nepal by experts from Japan, Korea, China and India. Agro-climatic conditions in these areas favour the cultivation of mulberry and teh rearing of cocoons. The Government has set up a nucleus centre at Khopasi about 35 km. east of Kathmandu in 1975. The centre initially served as a demonstration centre and later expanded its activities to provide training, extension and reserach functions. In 1991/92 it will also function as a major silkworm egg breeding station. Nepal has developed six bivoltine lines and these will be used to produce hybrid silkworm eggs in the country. The preferred production technology in Nepal is the temperate bivoltine technology which is simple and easily asaptable by small farmers.
On a very preliminary assessment mulberry cultivation could be extended over an extent of 6000 hectares which could yield around 350 tonnes of raw silk and 85 tonnes of waste silk. The value of silk fabric from this level of production could exceed Rs. 1800 mn. Private investment to encourage mulberry cultivation and cocoon rearing by small farmers could be developed successfully in Nepal. Post cocoon activities involving reeling, twisting, weaving and production of items out of silk fabric could be developed as medium-scale industries.
