February 14: The import of apples in the domestic market of Nepal has been steadily rising in recent years. Apples worth Rs 3.82 billion have been imported to the country in the first six months of the current fiscal year (FY 2021/22), according to the Department of Customs.
During the review period, the import of apples have increased by 23 percent compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year, when apples worth Rs 3.1 billion were imported.
Nepal imported apples mainly from China, India, Turkey, Guinea Bissau and Indonesia this year. During the six months period, Nepal imported the maximum amount of apples from China. Apples worth Rs 2.68 billion were imported from China during the review period. Likewise, apples worth Rs 1.14 billion were imported from India followed by Turkey (Rs 2.6 million) and Guinea Bissau (Rs 161,000), the department informed.
Amar Baniya, a Kuleshwar-based trader, says that Chinese apples are popular in Nepal and are imported in maximum quantity. He says that most of the apples enter Nepal from Kerung check point of China. Traders however say that the expected amount of apples did not arrive from China owing to the Covid-19 crisis.
Nowadays, it takes months for a consignment of apples to arrive which used to take only a week in the past.
Spokesperson of Kalimati Fruits and Vegetables Development Committee Bikash Shrestha informed that most of the apples arrive in Nepal from China and India. He says that Nepal is dependent on foreign countries for the supply of apples as the local production is not sufficient to meet the market demand.
“There is a demand for apples across the year. But there is no production as per the demand,” says Shrestha, adding, “So there is no alternative to imports.”
According to Shrestha, the domestic market receives apples from Jumla, Mustang, Dolpa, Mugu, Kalikot, Humla, Rukum East, Bajhang, Solukhumbu among other districts of Nepal but the internal production is negligible compared to the demand.
The price of apple at present is Rs 250 to Rs 280 per kilogram.

Apples worth Rs 3.82 billion have been imported to the country in the first six months of the current fiscal year (FY 2021/22), according to the Department of Customs.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">During the review period, the import of apples have increased by 23 percent compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year, when apples worth Rs 3.1 billion were imported.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Nepal imported apples mainly from China, India, Turkey, Guinea Bissau and Indonesia this year. During the six months period, Nepal imported the maximum amount of apples from China. Apples worth Rs 2.68 billion were imported from China during the review period. Likewise, apples worth Rs 1.14 billion were imported from India followed by Turkey (Rs 2.6 million) and Guinea Bissau (Rs 161,000), the department informed.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Amar Baniya, a Kuleshwar-based trader, says that Chinese apples are popular in Nepal and are imported in maximum quantity. He says that most of the apples enter Nepal from Kerung check point of China. Traders however say that the expected amount of apples did not arrive from China owing to the Covid-19 crisis.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Nowadays, it takes months for a consignment of apples to arrive which used to take only a week in the past.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Spokesperson of Kalimati Fruits and Vegetables Development Committee Bikash Shrestha informed that most of the apples arrive in Nepal from China and India. He says that Nepal is dependent on foreign countries for the supply of apples as the local production is not sufficient to meet the market demand.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">“There is a demand for apples across the year. But there is no production as per the demand,” says Shrestha, adding, “So there is no alternative to imports.”</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">According to Shrestha, the domestic market receives apples from Jumla, Mustang, Dolpa, Mugu, Kalikot, Humla, Rukum East, Bajhang, Solukhumbu among other districts of Nepal but the internal production is negligible compared to the demand.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><span style="font-size:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The price of apple at present is Rs 250 to Rs 280 per kilogram. </span></span></span></span></p>
