Nepal Export ProjectBy: Alex Dolson
Background on NepalNepal is a small country located between
India and China Nepal is home to Mt. Everest Nepal has a population
of approximately 27 million peopleNepal is a geographically diverse
country containing mountains, forests and grasslands Nepal is a
country with two seasons the wet and the dry season
Government and Geography of NepalThe president of Nepal Is
Aditya Raj UpadhyayaThe Nepalese government is set up on Federal
Democratic republic system Three main land regions Terai
(plains)Hill regionsMountain Region
Export IdeaNepal is a country that has a developing agricultural
industry One of the biggest challenges Nepalese livestock farmers
face is making quality forage throughout the entire yearThis issue
could be solved by storing forage from the wet season for use in
the dry season This is why Canada should export Ag baggers and Ag
Silage film to Nepal
TransportationThe Ag- Bag machine could be shipped from the
Ag-Bag manufacturing plant in Wisconsin directly to Nepal
The plastic wrap could be exported by the company Canadian Hay
and silage limited which is based in Alberta and already
distributes products to Asia
Canadian CompaniesThe company Canadian Hay and Silage ltd could
export the Ag silage film from their headquarters in Alberta The
company Ag bag could export the actual machine used for storing the
forage which will be shared between farmers in a community Both of
these companies already export products overseas so exporting to
Nepal would not be difficult
Benefits to CanadaCanada would benefit from exporting products
from these companiesBy creating jobs Increasing Revenue Improving
trade relations with NepalIncreasing the possibility of other
agricultural exports to Nepal in the future
Benefits to NepalNepal will benefit from this trade deal
byImproving feed quality and increasing yield from animalsNepal
will also be able modernize their agricultural industry by adapting
new technologiesNepalese farmers will be able to store feed more
efficently and saving labour
ConclusionsNepal is a developing country with a promising
agricultural industry that could easily adapt modern technologies
to improve efficiency and yieldThis trade deal could potentially
improve trade relations between Canada and Nepal and could increase
exports to Nepal from CanadaThis trade deal will benefit both
Canada and Nepal by increasing profits and improving the lives of
both Canadians and Nepalese people
