Sixth agricultural mechanisation exhibition to be held from Nov 27

Kathmandu, Aug. 19

Kathmandu is all set to host the Sixth National Agricultural Mechanisation Exhibition 2025 at Bhrikutimandap Exhibition Hall from November 27 to 29.

The three-day event is being jointly organised by the Centre for Agricultural Infrastructure Development and Mechanisation Promotion under the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, and the Nepal Agricultural Machinery Entrepreneurs’ Association (NAMEA).

Themed 'Mechanisation and Technology in Agriculture: Prosperity for Farmers and the Nation', the exhibition aims to promote modern farming practices, industrialisation and commercialisation in Nepal’s agriculture and livestock sector, the NAMEA informed in a statement.

Around 150 exhibitors representing domestic and international producers, importers, distributors, service providers and educational institutions are expected to show their products and services. "Over 2,000 varieties of machinery, tools and technologies related to agriculture, livestock, fisheries, floriculture, vegetable farming, irrigation, post-harvest management, processing and marketing will be showcased," read the statement.

NAMEA said that the exhibition is designed to create a single platform where farmers, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, researchers, policy makers and consumers can learn about modern equipment, services and innovations. It also seeks to strengthen linkages between agricultural entrepreneurs and consumers, raise awareness about commercial farming systems, and highlight investment opportunities in mechanised agriculture.

Since its inception in 2013, five national agricultural mechanisation exhibitions, one regional exhibition and one international agritech fair have been organised. The organisers expect that this year’s event will further expand the market for agricultural technology and encourage greater collaboration among stakeholders.

Entry to the exhibition will be free for visitors, including farmers, cooperatives, students, researchers, businesspeople, and members of the general public. The organisers expressed confidence that the exhibition will not only provide farmers with access to new technologies but also contribute significantly to Nepal’s goal of modernising and commercialising its agriculture sector.
