 For centuries, the Himalayan slopes in Nepal have been ideal for growing large cardamon. Known as black gold, this precious spice is a high-value crop. Nepal joined an initiative launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one country, one priority product, or OCOP. OCOP supports the transformation of agri-food systems, focused on the value chain of special agricultural products such as large cardamon. OCOP is the FAO's corporate flagship initiative launched by FAO Director General Dr. Choudomyo last year. The purpose of this initiative is to support member states to accelerate the transformation of agri-food systems with a particular focus on the development of a value chain of some priority products or special agricultural products. Nepal is a leading producer of large cardamon. The bold aroma and flavour is prized in local, local and international markets. The local cardamon is the leading producer of large cardamon. The local cardamon is the global product of the country. Nepal is a leading producer of large cardamom. The bold aroma and flavor is prized in local and global cuisines. The OCOP initiative works with governments as an entry point to transform food systems in production, storage, processing, and market developments of its special agri-products. The development of agricultural value chains helps connect small farmers to world markets. The global cardamom market is growing, boosted by awareness of its health benefits in aiding digestion, regulating blood pressure, and use in herbal supplements. OCOP promotes sustainable technology, and alongside FAO works to identify needed investment in order for Nepal to expand its export of large cardamom. I think that the One Country One Product has the power to add more value to the local producers, to the local farmers, and that's I think it's the overall vision of OCOP, empower local communities so they can add more value in agriculture. FAO has further established a platform on OCOP to prompt cross-country knowledge sharing. The platform promotes special agricultural products that contribute to sustainable food systems. The One Country One Priority Product initiative will contribute to Nepal's green agriculture and food supply chain, and give farmers and their families a healthier and more substantial future.
