The Food Management and Trading Company said on October 15, 2026, that it has 22,000 quintals of sugar in stock for the Dashain and Tihar festivals, assuring consumers there will be no shortage during the festive season. The announcement provides a stock figure and the company’s assurance as households prepare for two major festivals in Nepal, when sugar is among the goods many people purchase. The report was published by NepalLead.
Company assures consumers of festive supply
The company’s statement is intended to address concerns about the availability of sugar during Dashain and Tihar. It has said that the 22,000 quintals held in stock will be available for the festive period and that there will be no shortage. The assurance comes as consumers typically look to secure essential food items ahead of festival celebrations.
The announcement does not change the central point: the company says it has sugar in stock and expects that supply to meet festive-season needs. The figure of 22,000 quintals is the amount stated by the company, rather than an independently verified assessment of total sugar available across Nepal’s market. The company’s assurance therefore reflects its position on the stock it holds and the expected availability of sugar during the festivals.
What the announcement says
The information reported on October 15 focuses on two details: the company’s stated sugar stock and its confidence that there will be no shortage during Dashain and Tihar. It does not provide additional figures in the supplied report about planned sales, prices, distribution locations or how the stock will be allocated. No details are given in the report about whether the company expects to add to its existing supply.
For consumers, the announcement offers reassurance about availability, but it does not set out further information about purchasing arrangements. The stated stock figure is relevant to the company’s supply position; it should not be read as a nationwide inventory total or as a guarantee about prices. The company’s message is specifically that sugar will not be in short supply during the festive season.
Dashain and Tihar are the occasion named in the company’s announcement, and the assurance covers both festivals. The company has not, in the information provided, offered a separate stock estimate for either festival or a timetable for sales. The report likewise does not identify any other measures being taken to support festive supply.
