  59 sec to read

November 17: The production of coffee has grown by seven per cent.

“The growing concern from the government, private and corporate sectors in coffee production led to the increase in coffee production for the FY 2073/2074,” shared Sheshkant Gautam, executive director of National Tea and Coffee Development Board. Gautam said that in the last FY, 466 tons of coffee was produced. In the previous year, only 434 tons of coffee was produced.

According to Gautam, in the previous year, coffee was produced in 2,618 hectares of land whereas last year, the production area increased to 2,646 hectares.  Along with the area, many promotional activities done to promote coffee contributed to the increase in production.  Of late, the government had declared coffee plantation year and planted 7,00,000 standard seeds of coffee.

Also, Gautam said that the National Export Strategy was also prepared a while ago in collaboration with the International Trade Centre and the Ministry of Commerce. He shared that the strategy is ready and this will play a vital role to increase the export of coffee.  Nepal is already a member of the International Coffee Organisation.
