Nepal’s exports surged by 58.17 percent during the first five months of the current fiscal year 2025/26, from mid-July to mid-December, according to the Department of Customs. Export earnings rose to Rs 116.51 billion, up from Rs 73.66 billion in the same period last year. The sharp increase was largely driven by soybean oil exports worth Rs 46.55 billion, even as raw soybean oil imports stood at Rs 4.70 trillion.
