Nepal’s cardamom exports recorded robust growth in the first five months of FY 2025/26, increasing by over 60 percent to Rs 5.53 billion, driven by strong international demand. Export volume reached more than 2,600 metric tons. In contrast, tea exports fell by 31 percent during the same period, highlighting ongoing challenges such as pricing pressure and limited market access.
