Empowering Agriculture, Transforming Communities

Highlight

  • 1000+ Smallholder Farmers Across 7 districts
  • 40 + Products – all locally sourced

We care about the economic well-being of our farmers and the communities that surround us. Smallholder farmers in rural areas, especially in hilly districts, face numerous obstacles on their path to prosperity. Among these, post-harvest loss stands as a formidable challenge. Inadequate transportation, unreliable market access, and poor storage facilities often result in substantial losses for our farmers. Our systematic interventions in the agricultural value chain are designed to uplift the region’s economy and foster prosperity at every level.

We believe that true transformation begins at the root level. That’s why our journey with smallholder farmers and local municipalities starts right at the farms. From carefully selecting the most suitable agricultural methodologies to implementing efficient production techniques, and from responsible collections to advanced processing of locally grown produce – we leave no stone unturned to optimize the value chain for the benefit of our farmers and consumers.

Climate change is real and monoculture is a thing of the past. Khetipati is a strong advocate of multi-cropping and intercropping practices. By encouraging our farmers to diversify their produce to include a wide range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, we enable them to weather the challenges of market fluctuations and achieve long-term sustainability.

Our strategic proximity to the farming community allows us to minimize post-harvest losses significantly. Through our cold store and state-of-the-art dehydration facility, we not only ensure that farmers receive fair value for their produce but also provide them with a dependable marketplace.

Empowering Communities through Local Employment

Highlight

  • 90% Workforce comprise of Indigenous community – Aathpariya Rai  
  • Over 50% First generation working women 
  • 50+ people directly employed 
  • 20+ ancillary jobs created

We are committed  to create meaningful employment opportunities for the people of the region, with a particular focus on women, youth, and marginalized ethnic communities.

We take immense pride in our “locally made” philosophy. Our supply chain reflects the true essence of community collaboration. Right from harvesting every step is powered by the local workforce from rural communities with active participation of women and youth in our processing line is what gives a heart to our supply chain.

At Khetipati, we celebrate diversity and inclusion. Our workforce primarily consists of members from the marginalized indigenous ethnic community – the Aathpahariya Rais of Dhankuta. Many of our workers are returnee migrant workers, finding new hope and opportunities in their homeland. Additionally, we take great pride in empowering women, with many stages of processing exclusively handled by dedicated women, most of whom are first-generation working women in their communities.

The operations and day-to-day activities of our processing facility and farm are championed by the spirit of the villages of Dhankuta. We are more than a business; we are a collective effort of an entire community for creating a better future for all.

Promoting Growth & Prosperity

Highlight

  • 3 Trainings Annually to farmer groups
  • Support through inputs and production techniques 
  • Pre-harvest Contractual Agreements 
  • 100% Buy Back Guarantee

We have witnessed firsthand transformational power of empowerment: seasonal jobs, financial stability to farmers, indirect employment opportunities, all  have improved the economic well-being of the community, offering a promising future for many. When we talk about growth, we do not speak in isolation. Our success is intricately woven with the success of our farmers and the entire local economy. Khetipati grows when our farmers grow, and as we support the agro-economy, it, in turn, empowers local communities in more ways than one. 

We understand the importance of knowledge and skills in modern agriculture. Through adequate training and skill development programs, we empower our farmers to make informed decisions, opt for lucrative production choices, and implement efficient maintenance techniques. Our holistic approach ensures that farmers receive the support they need at every stage of their journey.

Market reliability has been a longstanding concern in the rural villages in Nepal. We address this challenge head-on by assuring our growers of a dependable marketplace, providing them with the confidence to focus on their cultivation without worrying about the market or about fair value for their produce.
