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.

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.
