Kalimati Fruits and Vegetables Wholesale Market

The Kalimati Fruits and Vegetables Wholesale Market on Ganeshman Singh Road is operated by the government-established Kalimati Market Development Committee and is Kathmandu's main official wholesale produce market, with active early-morning bulk trading (stall count to be verified) and publicly published daily wholesale prices. The committee was set up under Nepal's Market Development Committee Act of 2013 specifically to regulate and modernise this produce market, which also hosts quality grading and auction facilities.

Its strengths are bulk produce wholesaling and published price benchmarks, linking hill farmers across Nepal with Kathmandu's urban wholesalers. For Chinese companies in agricultural products, food processing and produce trade, the market is an official window onto Nepal's food prices and channels, and a venue to meet Kathmandu fruit and vegetable wholesalers who also handle imports from India. Its published price list is widely followed by traders across the Kathmandu Valley, giving overseas suppliers a transparent reference point for entering the Nepali food trade.
