मधेश प्रदेशले २०२१र२२ मा २,५८,५०९ मेट्रिक टन आँप उत्पादन गरेको छ – जुन नेपालको कुल उत्पादनको आधा भन्दा बढी हो।
यस सम्मेलनको उद्देश्य लक्षित नीतिगत उपायहरू, प्राविधिक सहयोग, तथा वित्तीय संयन्त्रहरू मार्फत् आँपको मूल्य श्रृंखलालाई सुदृढ बनाउन सरकारी प्रतिबद्धता सुनिश्चित गर्नु हो।
प्रस्तुति, प्रदर्शनी तथा अन्तरक्रियात्मक छलफलहरू मार्फत् जलवायु अनुकूल खेती, मूल्य अभिवृद्धि, उद्यमशीलता, र बजार पहुँचको प्रवर्द्धन गरिनेछ।
उक्त कार्यक्रमले प्रादेशिक स्वामित्व, साझा प्रयास र दीर्घकालीन रणनीति निर्माणका लागि मञ्च प्रदान गर्नेछ, जसको उद्देश्य कार्यान्वयनयोग्य सिफारिसहरू तयार गर्नु तथा संघीय र प्रादेशिक सरकारहरू र इसिमोडबीच समझदारीपत्रहरुमा हस्ताक्षर गर्नु हो।
यस कार्यक्रमले नेपालको आँप उत्पादनमा मधेशको नेतृत्वलाई उजागर गर्ने, जलवायु सहनशील र बजारमुखी समाधानहरू खोज्ने, र हरित, उत्थानशील र समावेशी विकास ९न्च्क्ष्म्० केन्द्रित आँपको मूल्य शृंखलाको विकासलाई समर्थन गर्ने उद्देश्य राखेको छ।

Dhanusa, 7 August 2025 -The one-day Mango symposium in Madhesh province will bring together farmers, researchers, entrepreneurs, processors, marketers, policymakers, financial institutions, and other key stakeholders to chart a path toward making Madhesh Province a nationally recognised mango hub.
Key messages:
Madhesh Province accounts for more than half of Nepal’s mango production, with 258,509 metric tonnes harvested in 2021/22 – yet policy and investment have not kept pace with its potential.
The symposium is aimed at securing a formal commitment from government stakeholders to strengthen the mango value chain through targeted policy, technical support, and financial mechanisms.
Presentations, exhibitions, and interactive discussions will focus on promoting climate-resilient mango farming practices, value addition, entrepreneurship, and improved market access.
The event will create space for provincial ownership, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and forward-looking strategies, with the aim of drafting actionable recommendations and signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between the central and provincial governments and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).
The event aims to highlight Madhesh’s leadership in Nepal’s mango production, explore climate-resilient and market-driven solutions, and support the development of a comprehensive Green, Climate-Resilient and Inclusive Development (GRID) focused mango value chain.

About Himalayan Green, Climate Resilient, and Inclusive Development (HI-GRID) project
Building Capabilities for Green, Climate Resilient, and Inclusive Development (HI-GRID) project is supported by the Australian Government and implemented by ICIMOD and partners, enhances resilience to ‘Too Much and Too Little’ (TMTL) water in the Lower Koshi River Basin (LKRB) through policy action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), Nature-based Solutions, and inclusive, green value chain promotion.
About International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region stretches 3,500km across Asia, spanning eight countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Encompassing high-altitude mountain ranges, mid-hills, and plains, the zone is vital for the food, water, and energy security of up to two billion people and is a habitat for countless irreplaceable species. It is also acutely fragile, and vulnerable to the impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an international organisation established in 1983, that is working to make this critical region greener, more inclusive and climate resilient.
