Nepal is set to export 200,000 garlands of makhamali flowers, also known as "makhmali mala," in a move aimed at boosting its agricultural exports. This initiative highlights the country's rich floral heritage and the growing demand for traditional garlands, particularly during festive seasons.
The export is expected to enhance the livelihoods of local farmers and contribute to Nepal's economy by tapping into international markets. With a focus on quality and sustainability, this effort underscores Nepal's commitment to promoting its unique agricultural products globally.
