Nepali trade<\/a> consignments of agricultural and medicinal products have been facing challenges owing to the lack of needed certification.<\/p>\nNepali officials are also planning to pitch for a flexible policy for quarantine certification.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be urging India to set up an integrated quarantine check system to facilitate exports of Nepali agro products to India,\u201d says Rabi Shankar Sainju, Spokesperson, Ministry of Commerce Nepal.<\/p>\n
According to Sainju, Nepal has been facing sever challenges with regard to quarantine certification despite the presence of its quarantine labs at major customs points across the Indo-Nepal border.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, lack of experts at the quarantine labs is one of the major setbacks that Nepal has been facing in trading agro products,\u201d Sainju adds.<\/p>\n
With regard to cargo shipment, Sainju informed that the ministry has already started working on the implementation of the electronic cargo tracking system.<\/p>\n
\u201cImporters have already started installing the system on a voluntary basis, and the ministry has planned to launch the system as a pilot project soon,\u201d informed Sainju.<\/p>\n
According to the Ministry, India has also agreed to Nepal\u2019s request to allow the bulk cargo system at another three entry points: Jogbani-Biratnagar, Rupaidiya-Nepalgunj and Sunauli-Bhairahawa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Indian side said it had started official procedures to review Nepal\u2019s proposal,\u201d noted the ministry.<\/p>\n
Easing trade, Nepal is also planning to request India to ease cross-border banking services for the traders, and also introduce a compliance for the same.<\/p>\n
While Nepali officials keen on holding the meeting as planned, the Indian officials are yet to confirm the same, says Sainju.<\/p>\n
Last hosted in New Delhi in June 28-29, 2016, the IGC meeting under the Nepal-India trade treaty aims to resolve various trade-related concerns and enhancement of bilateral trade between the two countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
