Kalimati
Fruits and Vegetable Market is the pioneer organized terminal wholesale
market in Nepal where retailers, institutional consumers and other bulk
consumer procure their supplies of commodities. For giving an organized
shape to the marketing of agricultural produce, especially, vegetables and
fruits in Kathmandu valley, Kalimati Fruits and Vegetable Wholesale Market
was set up by then Department of Food & Agriculture Marketing Services
under the Ministry of Agriculture in 1986.
The need to
bring improvement in the state of Kalimati market was identified as a
priority. Hence an agreement (NEP/89/CO1) was signed in 1989 between
Government of Nepal (GON) and United Nation's Capital Development Fund (UNCDF)
to construct and equip the market with physical infrastructures. The
present facilities are the outcome of that agreement. In 1995, government
felt the need of an independent body for the efficient operation and
management of the market. Keeping this in view, Kalimati Fruits and
Vegetable Wholesale Market Development Board was formulated on 13 February
1995 under the Development Board Act 1957.
