Federation of Handicraft Associations of Nepal is organising a handicraft trade fair from November 19-21 in Kathmandu.

The Federation said that the 18th handicraft trade fair and 16th handicraft competition would be held in Hotel Hyatt Regency in the capital city.

Organising a news conference, the Federation stated that the fair is being held to make the domestic and external trade of Nepali handicrafts more dynamic adding that this sector suffered a setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federation’s Chairman Surendra Bhai Shakya argued that the fair would help in exploring the international market of Nepali goods and developing business ties among Nepalis and foreign handicraft traders.
