Nepal Food Corporation

The agency was established in 1974 following a reorganization of the previous Agriculture Purchase and Sales Corporation. The restructuring split the original corporation into two separate entities: the Agriculture Input Corporation, which handles agricultural inputs, and the Nepal Food Corporation, which manages food procurement, distribution, and imports.^[1]

Nepal Food Corporation's primary functions include:^[2][4]

• Procuring essential food grains, including rice and wheat, from domestic and international sources.
• Distributing food stocks across the country, particularly in times of need or national festivals.
• Monitoring food availability and prices to maintain market stability
