Junar is another product selected under OVOP Program. Ramechhap and Sindhuli district are famous as Junar producing region. Therefore, the program has selected these two districts to develop Junar particularly focusing on improving its marketing side through quality improvement and value addition in the products.
The program aims at improving the internal markets in primary stage and then to export promotion developing its own brand with OVOP Nepal tag. With this prime objective, the program has selected two VDCs from each district i.e. Okhreni and Sukahjor in Ramechhap and Baseswor and Ratnachura in Sindhuli as the Junar villages.
The program has given special attention to develop the existing Junar orchard in the selected VDCs because the program has its own norms and value that no quality product is possible without improving the orchard condition. For the betterment market management, the program has also formed to Junar Cooperatives in each district. The program has also provided post harvest training to the farmers and the Cooperative's staffs, developed grading machine and the packaging boxes for "A" grade Junar. Finally, "A" grade Junar of both Ramechhap and Sindhuli have been marketed in Kathmandu market and other major markets in the chain.
