Nepal exports frozen French fries to the US for the first time



BHAIRAHAWA: Frozen French fries worth Rs 5.48 million have been exported to the United States for the first time through the Bhairahawa Customs Office.

According to the office, two containers, totaling 43,520 kilograms, of frozen French fries produced by First Choice Foods Pvt. Ltd., based in Rupandehi, were shipped to Genco LLC, a company based in the United States.

In a statement, the Bhairahawa Customs Office said the entry of Nepali-produced food items into a highly competitive market like the US marks a significant achievement for the country’s industrial development. The move is expected to contribute to foreign currency earnings and promote entrepreneurship in Nepal.
