The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of Nepal’s agricultural system and the urgent need to strengthen food security. This paper explores the primary constraints in Nepal’s agricultural sector and presents innovative entrepreneurial strategies and solutions to alleviate said constraints. By strategically assessing existing value chains, engaging both the public and private sector, and by re-evaluating the migrant crisis as an opportunity, the paper highlights agri-business opportunities in Nepal post-COVID-19.
