Supported by: Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
Event managed by: Tyro Media
Silver Jewellery is one of the major handicrafts of Nepal that is being exported to Europe as well as other export markets. The Silver Jewellery sector has been well recognized by the Nepal Trade Integration Strategy (NTIS) 2010, which is an effort of the Government of Nepal in charting a possible course for the development of the Country’s export sector over the next three to five years. The demand of Silver Jewellery is increasing along with the new market that includes European Union, Russia, South Korea and South Africa and Japan. In addition, this sector contributes 13 percent to the total handicraft export from Nepal. The manufacturing and making of Silver Jewellery products has been based on the conventional method with the use of hand tools for production. This has resulted in slow production and high cost per unit. As the export market for Silver Jewellery is being more competitive, there is a strong need for Marketing and Export promotion of Silver Jewellery of Nepal.
LHA is organizing the “Silver Jewellery day” in Hotel Yak & Yeti, Durbar Marg, Kathmandu on 12th December 2013 with the support from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the Trade Promotion Programme (TPP) to aid to highlight and develop the sector. This Programme works with relevant Public and Private sector actors to support the Silver Jewellery Sector in developing its trade related competencies. This event is thus organized in a partnership of GIZ and Lalitpur Handicraft Association.
