He said this while inaugurating the 16th International Industrial Trade Fair, Small and Cottage Industries Festival, and the Sixth Organic Agriculture Fair-2023 at Bhrikutimandap, on Tuesday.
"Government policy itself should protect and promote small and cottage industries, for which a separate Act is necessary. The government, therefore, pays heed to it," PM Dahal stressed, reminding that Nepal used to export food grains five decades back. The country has huge potential for agricultural products. Now, the time has come for all sides to promote the marketing of agricultural products.
As the country is reeling under financial crisis at present, the government bears the utmost responsibility to address the problems. "Government is engrossed in resolving the problems and prop up the economy. We cannot excuse at this moment," he underscored.
