January 6: The government is preparing to register the collective trademark of large cardamom and carpet in a bid to boost exports of domestic products.

Though the demand of Nepal’s large cardamom is high in the international markets, lack of proper identification has been hindering the country to export the products.

According to Siddhi Charan Dahal, senior officer at the Trade and Export Promotion Center (TEPC), the government has already completed the trademark registration of cardamom last year.

 “The large Nepali cardamom has been registered as the ‘Everest Big Cardamom’ and will be known by the same name in the international market,” Dahal informed.

As per a source close to the matter, the collective trademark of cardamom will be implemented within a few days with the unified approach of Cardamom Producers Association and other stakeholders.

The TEPC said that the trademark of cardamom will be registered in India, Pakistan and United Arab Emirates in the first phase.

The center said that it has planned to move ahead with the trademark registration process in other countries after observing the demand of Nepali cardamom.

Cardamom is the major export commodity of Nepal.

India has the largest market for Nepali cardamom. In the recent years, the agro product is being exported to third countries via India.

India has been importing Nepali cardamom as a raw material and exporting it to other countries as finished products.

Cardamom entrepreneurs said that they have been facing substantial losses from this.

As per the TEPC data, Nepal exports large cardamom worth Rs four billion annually.

Meanwhile, the process of registering the trademark of carpet has progressed in the Department of Industry (DoI).

 According to a source, Central Carpet Industries Association (CCIA) and Nepal Carpet Exporters Association (NCEA) have started the work procedure to register the trademark of carpet.

The registration process is expected to complete within a year.

In the initial phase, the trademark of carpet will be registered in the US, Europe and China in the first phase.

The demand of Nepali carpet is high in those countries. As per the source, the trademark will be registered in other countries later.

Official data shows that Nepal exports carpets worth Rs six billion annually.
