April 10: With the extension of lockdown, retail shops are getting short of food supplies and daily essentials. Though industries and wholesalers have enough supplies, retail shops are not getting access to those products due to transportation problem.
“Retailers have started running out of supplies. But at this situation we are helpless. The government has to address this issue,” said Raj Kumar Shrestha, president of Nepal Retailers’ Association
According to supplier Durga Raj Shrestha, the market will see shortage of food stuffs like biscuits and noodles in 15-20 days. “However, items like sanitizer, soap, detergent powder are enough for now,” he said.
Normally, trucks used to be loaded while coming to Kathmandu as well as while returning. However, now they don’t get the supplies while returning, so the drivers are facing problems.
Shrestha said that the trucks are charging double charge for transporting the goods. “Due to this, we have to charge high to our consumers,” informed Shrestha.
Likewise, Devendra Bhakta Shrestha, president of Food Grocery Trading Association, said that due to shortage of workers wholesalers are not able to supply the products to the retailers.
The industries have food storage for up to 2-3 months but problems in delivering the goods is creating shortage in the market. According to Subodh Kumar Gupta, president of Nepalese Rice, Oil and Pulses Association, the challenge is because of the double charge demanded by the truck entrepreneurs. The government needs to ease the process of transportation, said Gupta.
Besides, the drivers and other staff are also not getting proper food because many hotels are shut. It is reported that many drivers are not willing to work in this situation.
Currently, only 40 percent of the food supply industries are in operation. And these industries are also only producing 25 percent of their capacity.
Government entities have enough food supplies
“Salt Trading Cooperation has 7,000 tons of sugar and 115,000 tons of salt. Additional 45,000 tons of salt is on the way from India,” informed Kumar Raj Bhandary, deputy general manager of Salt Trading Corporation.
Similarly, Food Management and Trade Company Ltd (FMTC) has stored 22,000 metric tons of rice. According to Netra Subedi, executive director of FMTC, rice mills in Janakpur and Bardiya will also come into operation within a few days.

'content' => '<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">April 10: With the extension of lockdown, retail shops are getting short of food supplies and daily essentials. Though industries and wholesalers have enough supplies, retail shops are not getting access to those products due to transportation problem.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">“Retailers have started running out of supplies. But at this situation we are helpless. The government has to address this issue,” said Raj Kumar Shrestha, president of Nepal Retailers’ Association</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">According to supplier Durga Raj Shrestha, the market will see shortage of food stuffs like biscuits and noodles in 15-20 days. “However, items like sanitizer, soap, detergent powder are enough for now,” he said. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Normally, trucks used to be loaded while coming to Kathmandu as well as while returning. However, now they don’t get the supplies while returning, so the drivers are facing problems. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Shrestha said that the trucks are charging double charge for transporting the goods. “Due to this, we have to charge high to our consumers,” informed Shrestha. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Likewise, Devendra Bhakta Shrestha, president of Food Grocery Trading Association, said that due to shortage of workers wholesalers are not able to supply the products to the retailers. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">The industries have food storage for up to 2-3 months but problems in delivering the goods is creating shortage in the market. According to Subodh Kumar Gupta, president of Nepalese Rice, Oil and Pulses Association, the challenge is because of the double charge demanded by the truck entrepreneurs. The government needs to ease the process of transportation, said Gupta.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Besides, the drivers and other staff are also not getting proper food because many hotels are shut. It is reported that many drivers are not willing to work in this situation. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Currently, only 40 percent of the food supply industries are in operation. And these industries are also only producing 25 percent of their capacity. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><strong><span style="font-family:Calibri">Government entities have enough food supplies </span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">“Salt Trading Cooperation has 7,000 tons of sugar and 115,000 tons of salt. Additional 45,000 tons of salt is on the way from India,” informed Kumar Raj Bhandary, deputy general manager of Salt Trading Corporation. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:20px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span style="font-family:Calibri">Similarly, Food Management and Trade Company Ltd (FMTC) has stored 22,000 metric tons of rice. According to Netra Subedi, executive director of FMTC, rice mills in Janakpur and Bardiya will also come into operation within a few days. </span></span></span></p>
