On 1 September 2026, PAC Nepal successfully held the Eco-Entrepreneur Market Assessment Validation Workshop in Janakpur under the CS4FS Project, organized in collaboration with ASN, JWAS, and local governments, with financial and technical support from BMZ/WHH.
Mr. Prasutom Gupta (Consultant) shared comprehensive market assessment findings, focusing on scalable green enterprise opportunities, branding constraints, and value-chain dynamics across target Palikas. Graced by Chief Guest Raj Nandan Mandal (Chairperson, DCC Dhanusha) alongside distinguished local leaders Jit Narayan Yadav (Mayor, Ganeshman Charnath Municipality) and Sunita Singh (Deputy Mayor, Sahidnagar Municipality), the municipal leadership formally pledged institutional support, resource allocation, and policy backing for local green enterprises. Agricultural experts Pradip Kumar Yadav (Chief, Krishi Gyan Kendra), Biplab Gupta (Chief, ABPSTC), and National Rice Research Program representatives underscored the necessity of technical modernization, agro-ecological suitability, and post-harvest value addition. Concurrently, a multi-stakeholder panel comprising Sana Kisan, banking and insurance executives, agrovet suppliers, seed companies, cooperatives, model farmers, and leaseholder farmers provided critical ground-level validation, emphasizing the urgency of accessible credit, risk-mitigating insurance, guaranteed quality inputs, and reliable market linkages to build a resilient eco-agribusiness ecosystem in Dhanusha.
