EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS

Introduction
In the contemporary world, the international trades or shares of export markets play an
important role in a nation’s industrial and overall economic growth. The expansion of export
market share by a single product or a group of products is known as export penetration. There are
various internal and external factors that contribute to the ability of an economy to penetrate the
export market such as production levels and quality, marketing, exchange rates and trade
policies. As the exports are one of the major components of the GDP of a country, a country
needs to formulate its laws and regulations in an efficient manner to satisfy the needs of
producers and help them grow not only inside the country but also on the international market.
exports and imports, where imports stand at Rs. 1.92 trillion in the fiscal year 2021/2022 and
exports stand at Rs.200 billion in the same year. Nepal imports a substantial amount more than it

world of heightened international interdependence. Export penetration is the term used most
frequently in the literature to describe the growth of a single product or a group of products'
export market share. Several domestic factors, like production costs where the product is made,

We have formulated some questions for the study to analyze export market penetration of
Nepalese products. The problem statements of the research project are as follows:
a. What are the opportunities of the penetration of Nepalese products in the international
market?
b. What are the challenges faced by Nepal in foreign trade which hampers the export market
The main objective of the study is to understand the challenges and opportunities
associated with market penetration. The other objectives include determining the current
situation of the export market of Nepal and figuring out the possible solutions to the various
challenges.

For this formulation of the report, we have collected the information through secondary
sources like websites, books, articles, videos, and other sources. Also, we have analyzed the
export market of Nepalese products by linking it with economic theories and statistics. For the
purpose of generating this report, quantitative data such as revenue from various institutions and
the economic growth rate from various government websites will be evaluated. Additionally, we

country with the rest of the world for a specific period of time and examines transactions
of all exports and imports of goods and services. It also helps the government to analyze
the potential of a particular industry export growth and formulate policy to support it.
According to the central bank, the current scenario of Nepal’s Balance of payment
has been lowest in the past nine months of the ongoing fiscal year i.e. 2021/ 2022 which
is deficit of Rs 268 billion. This is the lowest it has been in the history of the country. The
main reason behind the balance of payments of Nepal has taken a significant hit is due to
continuous rise in import. In the latest reports, Nepal total imports recorded an increase of
22.7% year on year whereas Nepal total exports dropped by 2.2% year on year. This has
also affected the country’s foreign exchange reserve which has gone down by Rs 2 billion
over the past month. Here in this case, there is unfavorable BoP because the export is less
than import i.e. Export (X)< Import (M). In other words, it can be said that the
disequilibrium in the balance of payments has arisen from imbalances between exports

2021/22. From the figure we can conclude that the imports are way higher than the
exports.
The value of imports is increasing whereas the value of exports is declining every
month. Currently, the export-import ratio of Nepal is just 14% which is low for a
developing country.

payment. In case of Nepal, its total Imports is recorded to be Rs. 166 billion (1.3
billion USD) in June 2022, compared with a value of Rs. 140 billion (1.1 billion
USD) in the previous month. The data has reached an all-time high of 1.6 USD
billion in Dec 2021 and record low of 121.9 USD million in March 2005, this data
suggests that the imports in the country are way higher than the exports. The

the needs of people due to which the nation has to import goods and services at a

Nepal mostly depends on foreign aid from other developed countries for
any kind of developmental programs and in the end of it Covid-19 pandemic has
diverted the government priorities on other issues with the country facing political
crisis. But, the government has been struggling to spend the development budget
and that’s the reason the country is facing economic problems such as liquidity

2. Trade Deficit
large trade deficits and is highly dependent on trade with India. The value of imports
increases every year which results in expansion of the trade deficit. While the total trade
value is rising, imports have been increasing at a higher rate as compared to exports.
High import growth rate leads to an increase in remittance that compensates for a
7.8% in the same period of the previous year. During this period export of goods to India
increased whereas export to China decreased by 11.00%. In the period, the export of
palm oil, soybeans oil, polyester yarn and thread, and woolen carpets had increased.
EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS

Rs.1308.73 billion as compared to an increase of 2.1% a year ago. The value of imports
has been going up every year. Imports from China, India, and other countries have
increased by 28.1%, 36.7%, and 75.4% respectively. Imports from all the custom points
have increased during the period. The total trade deficit increased from 34.5% to
Rs.1160.99 billion during 2021/22. The trade deficit had increased by 1.6% in the
corresponding period of the previous year. So, we can say that the trade deficit of Nepal
is decreasing as a result of increasing exports. But the trade deficit is still at the higher
end.
Annexure 2-Fig 2 shows that the real GDP of Nepal is lower due to the lack of
export surplus. The AD curve is at a point lower than the domestic demand curve i.e AD’
which shows that the increasing imports result in a leftward shift of market equilibrium.
The items like textile and apparel products including yarns and carpet continue to
rank high in the country’s exports while Nepal is not endowed with the raw materials for
these products, it manufactures them for India at factories owned and operated by
Nepalese and Indian companies. Major imports include metal products, food items,

Nepal has followed the conventional fixed peg exchange rate regime with Indian

other currencies is determined by demand and supply interaction of the currencies. Nepal
has adopted Rs 1.60 as exchange rate with Indian Currency from 1993. There is also the
issue raised to review this exchange rate system but many economists are in favor of a
fixed rate with India because of the porous border with India and smaller GDP of Nepal.

development of the nation has been very poor. So, we can say that Nepal can’t compete with the
big world nations in terms of technology and products based on technology like machineries and
automobiles.
But Nepal still stands a chance to increase its exports. Currently, the top export products
include garments, leather products, tea leaves, herbs and medicinal products, vegetable oil/seed
oil and handicrafts. The government can develop an infrastructure to scale these products with
Nepal is located between two of the world's most popular countries (India and China)

markets. The country has a range of climatic conditions. The topography is generally
mountainous in Himalayan, moderate in hilly and hot in terai. Nepal can grow various
agricultural products, medicinal herbs and high-quality tea. There is also a huge potential for
hydropower.
As we all know that Nepal is a rich country in terms of culture and traditions. So, the
products that carry historical importance and can reflect the past can be exported to other
countries. For example: the handicrafts are exported to around 85 countries and in the year 2016
the export value of these products was about Rs. 6 billion. Also garments like pashmina and even

hand knitted carpets are exported to various countries around the globe. Also, the seed and
vegetable oil like soya-bean oil and palm seed oil also contribute a lot in the export value (about
Rs. 9 billion in the first 5 months of the fiscal year 2019/2020). Nepal’s top five exports include
soya-bean oil, palm oil, hand knit carpets, pashmina and cardamoms which accounts for around
Thus, Nepal has the capacity to penetrate the international market with the products that
are unique in itself and attract foreign buyers. The price of these products isn’t too high due to
which most of the population in the foreign countries can buy these goods. We will discuss the
steps that can be taken to enhance the export rate and value of the products later in the report.
Foreign trade is important for a nation to not only fulfill the needs of people but for the
proper balance in the economy. Foreign trades contribute significantly to a country’s economy.
While the big economies like the USA, China, Japan, Germany and India’s major share of the
national economy is held by foreign trades (mainly exports), Nepal hasn’t been able to capture
the global market with the Nepalese products. As mentioned earlier, Nepal is facing a problem of
trade deficit. Here are some of the factors that have affected the Nepalese foreign trade.
a. Landlockedness
Water transport is the most suitable mode of transport for foreign trade. The cost
of water transport is cheaper as compared to the other modes such as road and air. The
countries who are able to exhibit a high level of foreign trades use water transport such as
sea transport by ships and boats. Transport by water allows a nation to ship large volumes
EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS
17
at a lower cost. But Nepal is unable to access water transport/ seaports due to the
landlockness of the country. The major mode of foreign trade is road transport due to
which Nepal isn’t able to trade with many countries. Road transports are more expensive
as compared to water transport and slow paced. The toll charges and fees involved in
road transports increase the cost resulting in the increase of prices of the goods.
Also, when it comes to road transport, low quantities are delivered at a time.
Nepal has to depend on neighboring countries for international trade (specially India as
the North range is not suitable for trade due to the geographical conditions). As the air
transport is too expensive, the cost of goods would be higher if trade is conducted
through the air. Due to the lack of access to water bodies Nepal isn’t able to trade much
with countries except India and China. Nepal only exports rare goods such as herbs, oil
seeds, handicrafts, carpets, jute and garments which aren’t readily available in other parts.
Nepal imports a lot of goods and services from India and China. While the Nepalese
products can be penetrated in opposite parts of the globe, the transport problem acts as a
As modes of transport affect foreign trades of a nation, we can say that the
landlockedness of Nepal has been a major reason behind the poor condition of foreign
trade in Nepal.
development. The Terai range is the most suitable region for industrial activities. The
Hilly and the Himalayan region aren’t favorable for establishment of industries due to
natural constraints.
So, Nepal has limited land available for establishing factories and industries.
Nepal is an agricultural country with about 36% contribution in national GDP. The land
of Nepal is suitable for agriculture but no other minerals are available. The geographical
structure of Nepal has affected the production capacity and also increased the cost of
ii. Labor
Nepal has a low population of adults (about 12 million), and among them many
are engaged in foreign employment due to the lack of opportunities in the nation. The
majority of the remaining labor is engaged in agriculture. The semi-skilled and unskilled
labor in Nepal is higher as compared to skilled labor. Due to the lack of skill set, people
lack the ability to expand the industry. Due to the low availability of manpower, the cost

pre-production costs are incurred by the firms. The production process is highly costly
iv. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a skill that combines all the other three factors of production.
In the context of Nepal, the highly skilled manpower is very low due to which the
resources have not been utilized properly. This leads to wastage or underemployment of
resources which leads to increase in cost of production. The cost for producing depends
upon the method and scalability of the production. If incompetent people lead an industry
Due to all the factors mentioned above, the cost of production of goods in Nepal
is higher as compared to other countries. Countries with better technology and manpower
are capable of large-scale production and manufacturing which ultimately lowers the
production cost. Because of higher cost of production, the price of the commodities is set
higher as compared to other nations which makes Nepal an expensive market for foreign
countries. So, the countries prefer not to import goods from Nepal, which has resulted in

capital and skilled/unskilled manpower. As the state of technology can affect the total
agriculture (which happens to be the major contributor in GDP) and other commercial
industries has resulted in low productivity of Nepal. Moreover, the lack of availability of

India, China and Japan, the quality of goods in Nepal is substantially low. As a result,
foreign countries refrain from importing goods from Nepal as the price of the goods
doesn’t match the quality and the products of Nepal aren’t able to compete in the
international market.
For a country to be a net exporter (Exports> Imports), it must have products that
international/foreign buyers want and the capacity to produce those goods that have
relatively low cost. Countries should export those goods in which they have comparative
cost advantage i.e lower opportunity cost to gain advantage from foreign trade.
Countries like Nepal can enjoy an absolute cost advantage in certain products i.e.
rare raw materials and natural resources that are not readily found everywhere. There will
be high demand for the products which can increase the net exports.
EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS

Comparative advantage plays an important role in determining what goods and
services certain countries can choose to import and export. Countries can analyze their
comparative advantage in different areas so that they can determine the products which
can be produced at lower opportunity cost than other countries. It is a key principle used
in international trade that forms the basis for why free trade is beneficial to all countries.
Many countries and economies use it to determine what goods and services they plan to
import or export. Countries that have a comparative advantage producing a specific good
or service often choose to specialize in this area since it is more efficient and cost-
They may channel additional labor, capital and natural resources toward the
production of this specific good or service to take advantage of a lower opportunity cost
For example: If Nepal decides to channel its resources i.e., labor and capital into
producing electronic gadgets. Let’s assume that with the available resources Nepal can
produce 10 million TVs and 40 million mobiles in one year. But on the other hand, India
has already been channeling its resources, labor and capital into producing electronic
gadgets and can produce 80 million TVs and 100 million mobiles on average each year.
We can say that the comparative advantage is with the other countries who can
Advertisement and publicity are crucial factors in foreign trade. A country must
be able to promote their products in the international market in order to attract buyers.
But in the case of Nepal, the emphasis on publicity has been next to none. Producers
aren’t willing to spend on marketing and advertising due to which the products are not
able to gain international recognition which hampers the foreign trade. As market
For a nation to engage in international trades, the industrial base of the country
must be strong. The standards of production level and quality must be met so that the
country can export goods. The technological evolution and innovation in production takes
place through industrial development. But in the case of Nepal, the pace of industrial
development has been very low. The government hasn’t been able to invest in the
development of the industrial sector which is reflected by the statistics. In the year 2020,
the industrial sector contributed a mere 11.8% to the GDP of Nepal. In the year 2018 and
2019 the sector contributed 13.2% and 13.01% respectively to the GDP of Nepal. Thus,
we can conclude that the slow industrial development has been one of the key reasons for
Conclusion
From the research, we discovered that the foreign trade condition of Nepal is not ideal.
The rate of increase of imports is way higher than the increase of exports. This has led to a
situation in which the trade deficit of Nepal is excessive. To compensate for this, the government
must adopt various measures in order to increase productivity which would decrease the
dependence on neighboring countries. Though market penetration seems challenging for Nepal
due to various circumstances, the government must be able to promote and scale the

various geographical constraints, the industrial base in Nepal is limited due to which
production requires higher costs. One of the main reasons Nepal is unable to actively
Nepal is only able to export a few products like jute, herbs, garments and handicrafts. As
discussed earlier in the challenges (in chapter 4.3), the lack of FOPs is the reason behind
such a situation.
EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS

Thus, to cope with the increased costs, Nepal needs to strengthen the
lower cost. The government must build infrastructure which is favorable for exports. The
government must focus on developing global connectivity through airlines or seek help
from neighboring countries like India and China to access the seaports so that Nepal can
production can be lowered whereas the quantity of production can be increased. Thus,
Nepal will be able to export more and import less due to which the Real GDP of the
equilibrium shifts from E1 to E2 after the exports are increased through prioritizing the
manufacturing industry.
The aggregate demand curve shifts from AD1 to AD2 while the supply remains
unchanged. The increase in AD curve causes a rightwards shift in Real GDP from Y1 to
Y2.
The latest available country-specific data shows that 94.6% of products exported
from Nepal were bought by importers in: India (72.9% of Nepal’s global total), United
States of America (10.2%), Germany (2.8%), United Kingdom (2%), Turkey (1.4%),
EXPORT MARKET PENETRATION OF NEPALESE PRODUCTS
25
France (1.1%), Japan (0.9%), Canada (0.75%), Australia (0.73%), mainland China
This shows that the trade relationship of Nepal is limited to only a few nations. If
the marketplace for Nepalese products is widened to other countries as well then Nepal
can see an increase in exports. Thus, the government must sign trade agreements with
many countries so that the value of foreign trades between the countries can get a boost.
The fiscal policies that regulate the government policies in order to increase the
aggregate supply are known as supply side fiscal policies. These policies help to achieve
full employment, achieve long run growth and decrease the price levels.
In the supply side fiscal policies, the government imposes lower taxes and also
subsidizes various industries which leads to increase in production levels. In the context
of Nepal, the policy can be highly useful to increase employment opportunities and
output levels. Nepal being a trade deficit economy, the production levels must be high in
order to increase the export surplus so that the deficit can be cut. Also many industrialists
would be open to expand their businesses as the returns would be higher as the taxes are
lower.
So, the excess profit can be used to purchase new machinery and can also be
