Bikaji Foods and Chaudhary Group Announce Nepal Joint Venture
Bikaji Foods, an Indian snack company, is teaming up with Nepal's Chaudhary Group to sell snacks in Nepal.
They're creating a new company together, where both will own half.
They will build a factory in Nepal to make snacks like the ones Bikaji already sells, like bhujia and sweets.
This is happening because Nepal's market for these kinds of products is growing quickly.
The Chaudhary Group already knows how to do business in Nepal, and Bikaji wants to sell its snacks in more places.
This should bring in new jobs and help Nepal's food industry.
Bikaji Foods partners with Chaudhary Group to create a joint venture in Nepal.
The partnership establishes a 50:50 ownership for manufacturing and marketing ethnic snacks.
The joint venture will produce snacks like bhujia, namkeen, and sweets for the Nepalese market.
Both companies plan to invest in a manufacturing facility in Nepal.
The deal capitalizes on Nepal's growing FMCG sector, expanding at 20% annually.
