Promotion, marketing of indigenous products must: Speaker Aryal
Kathmandu, Nov 9: Speaker Dol Prasad (DP) Aryal has shared that the government should take regular initiatives for the promotion and marketing of indigenous products.
In course of visiting the Indigenous Fair organized at Bagmati Provincial Office Premises of Food Management and Trade Company Limited, Thapathali, Kathmandu, today, Speaker Aryal underlined that the government should pay more attention for the promotion of indigenous products.
Talking to media persons, he pointed out that the it is difficult for farmers themselves to allocate time for publicity and marketing of their products along with production, so the government to facilitate for publicity and marketing.
The Speaker mentioned that government entities including Food Management and Trade Company, Salt Trading as well as media should promote farmers’ produces with priority.
He expressed the view that such fairs should be expanded to major cities and markets of the country, not only limiting to Kathmandu.
While organizing such fairs, the farmers would get opportunity to take their products before consumers as well as citizens could get information of indigenous products of different areas of the country, he stressed.
Speaker Aryal expressed the view that though consumers of the Kathmandu Valley are families with local products, the exhibition of goods of remote and districts out of Kathmandu Valley would help connect with new markets and consumers.
He suggested not to use plastic bags onwards as even government stalls are found using plastic bags in exhibition as well as to clearly mention maximum retail price (MRP) in government products.
The three-day fair organized from Saturday with an objective of connecting domestic products with market by promoting Nepali original culture, indigenous products and local entrepreneurship concluded today.
