Kathmandu, May 9

Yeshodha Foods has exported its flagship brand 'Current Noodles' worth Rs. 1.3 billion in a year. It is exporting the noodles to the countries like India, Australia and America.

It is introducing the country to the international noodle market by using the materials and food grains within the country has brought in foreign currency and has greatly helped the economic development of the country, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

The company is providing employment to around 15,000 people both directly and indirectly across the country. The company, which started its production from Rupandehi district's Tilottama Municipality in May 2017 and entered the food market, has been purchasing agricultural products including Akbare chillies through more than 10,000 farmers in five districts for the production of current noodles.

According to statistics, with the introduction of international standard 'hot noodles' in Nepal with the entry of Current noodles, import of such items has decreased by 15 per cent.

After a long research, Yashoda Foods started the production of 'Currant' after being sure that 'Piro' (hot) noodles produced in Nepal could find a market.
