Nepali
diaspora has offered its help in promoting domestic exports.
However, the
exporters need to launch target specific promotional campaign to boost exports in
the foreign markets, they said.
“Non-Resident
Nepalis (NRNs) will help provide logistic support to search business
opportunities, though it’s the responsibility of exporters and manufacturers
themselves,” said NRN Association president Jiba Lamichhane during an
interaction organised by Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (FNCCI) here today.
The Nepali
diaspora is extended in more than 65 countries , but there is no Nepal embassy in
more than 32 countries, he said, adding that NRNs have invested in hydropower,
media, telecommunications and tourism in the country. “The NRNs have invested
in more than 20 MW of hydropower.”
Established in 2003, the NRNA has currently about 500,000 members across 65 nations. It will also help promote market in the foreign lands.

However, the absence of bar code has resulted in problems in
packaging and quality of Nepali goods, he said. “There is a high potential of
Nepali goods in the international market provided there is bar code.”
A bar-code is an optical machine readable representation of data
relating to the object it is attached on, helping buyers identity Nepali
products.
One of the aims of the
association is to encourage NRNs to contribute to economic and social
development of Nepal.
