2.6.3 Nepal Sudurpaschim Province Storage Assessment
Home

Sudurpaschim province does not have any significant large-scale warehousing for private sector or the humanitarian community. Storage capacity is mostly restricted to low volume storage owned and used by private sector traders, wholesalers and retailers. The Nepal Food Corporation, a parastatal company responsible for procurement and distribution of food commodities, and the Krishi Samagri Company Ltd, a public sector enterprise for fertilizers, seeds and agro-chemicals, are the only two organizations that can provide warehouse capacity at scale in Nepal, but availability of their storage facilities for third parties is linked to the harvest schedule.  

In 2015, WFP, in coordination with Ministry of Home Affairs and UK Aid established a Humanitarian Staging Area, a transit storage point for humanitarian relief materials, next to Tribhuvan International Airport cargo complex in Kathmandu. In coordination with UKAid, WFP is establishing seven more Forward Logistics Bases (FLB): one in DhangadiSudurpaschim and 6 in the rest of Nepal (Nepalgunj, Birgunj, BiratnagerBhairawaSurkhet and Pokhara) 

Ministry of Home Affairs has developed provincial warehouses for emergency preparedness supplies in 5 different provinces. In Sudurpaschim Province, District Administration Office-Kailali is managing province level warehouse in Dhangadi
