Business

Agroveda
Agroveda is an innovative agri-tech startup in its idea phase, aiming to transform Nepal’s agriculture ecosystem using bio-technology and digital platforms. The venture will grow and distribute free saplings, and provide farmers with access to an integrated web and mobile-based application for selling products, accessing tools, purchasing manure, receiving training updates, and analyzing market trends. Consumers can buy fresh produce directly through the app, and unsold goods will be repurposed for use in pickle production or sold to hotels and homes. To further minimize waste, Agroveda will implement fly farming, converting organic waste into nutrient-rich larvae used as fertilizer or animal feed—contributing to a circular, zero-waste agricultural model.
