Nepal may approach Pakistan for sugar

New Delhi has allowed the export of 25,000 tonnes of sugar on a quota basis to Nepal till September 30 next year. Officials, however, say there are issues related to quality and price.

With the Indian government quoting a high price for sugar, which Nepal plans to import through a government-to-government arrangement, top Nepali government officials said they may approach Pakistan for the sweetener if India’s offer doesn’t prove sweet enough.
