Chairman's Message

Dear Shareholders, Partners, Farmers, and Valued Stakeholders,

Welcome to Himalayan Food Bank Limited.

Agriculture has long been the foundation of Nepal’s economy and the primary source of livelihood for millions of families. Yet, despite its immense potential, the sector continues to face significant challenges, including post-harvest losses, fragmented supply chains, limited market access, and inadequate value addition. At Himalayan Food Bank Limited, we view these challenges as opportunities to build a stronger, more resilient, and globally competitive agricultural ecosystem.

Our vision is to transform the way agricultural products are collected, processed, stored, and delivered by creating an integrated value chain that meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency. Through modern infrastructure, technology-driven operations, and strategic partnerships, we aim to connect Nepalese farmers with domestic and international markets while ensuring that consumers receive safe, reliable, and premium-quality agricultural products.

As a public limited company, we are committed to the principles of integrity, transparency, accountability, and sound corporate governance. We believe sustainable success is achieved by balancing economic growth with social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to creating long-term value for our shareholders while generating meaningful benefits for farming communities, customers, employees, and the nation.

Our greatest strength lies in the trust and collaboration of our stakeholders. We are dedicated to empowering farmers through better market access, reducing post-harvest losses through innovation and modern logistics, and fostering an ecosystem where agriculture becomes more productive, profitable, and sustainable.

Looking ahead, Himalayan Food Bank Limited will continue to invest in advanced technologies, quality assurance systems, strategic partnerships, and infrastructure that strengthen Nepal’s agricultural competitiveness. We aspire to position Nepal as a trusted source of premium agricultural products in regional and global markets while contributing to national food security, rural prosperity, employment generation, and sustainable economic development.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend my sincere appreciation to our shareholders, investors, business partners, employees, farmers, government agencies, and all stakeholders for their continued confidence and support. Together, we will build an organization that not only creates lasting value but also serves as a catalyst for the transformation of Nepal’s agricultural sector.

We invite you to join us on this journey as we shape a more sustainable, prosperous, and globally connected future for Nepalese agriculture.

Sincerely,

Ishwor Luitel
