Inclusive Value Chain Study for Ginger Sub-sector in Nepal

The Government of Nepal (GoN), through its Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS), has identified 15 potential value chains and prioritized five subsectors: dairy, lentil, maize, tea and vegetables. CRS Nepal proposed to conduct a comprehensive value chain study in Palpa and Dang districts in Province 5. Based on consultations with MoLMAC, Agriculture Development Directorate, Agriculture Knowledge Centers, National Grain Legume Research Program, National Ginger Research Program (Nepal Agriculture Research Council) and private sector actors, such as processors, millers and commodity associations in Province 5, CRS Nepal identified ginger as one of the commodities with the most potential for inclusive value chain strengthening opportunities.
