Muktinath Krishi Company Limited

About

Muktinath Krishi Company Limited is a pioneering agribusiness firm in Nepal, established in 2018 as an associate company of Muktinath Bikas Bank Limited (MNBBL). MKCL was founded with the aim of managing the full agricultural value-chain from supply of quality agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizers, agro-chemicals), providing technical advisory and crop-management services, to acting as a market link between farmers and buyers via its distribution network and “Agriculture Resource Centres.” Over time the company has positioned itself not just as an input supplier but as a comprehensive agribusiness facilitator: it deals in mechanized agricultural equipment, supports livestock-related value chains, provides agribusiness consultation, and works on agro-processing and market facilitation for farm produce. MKCL aims to bring modern agricultural practices to Nepal promoting sustainable, inclusive, and market-oriented agriculture. According to the company, its operations span a large portion of the country: more than 70 districts, with over 200 distribution channels and multiple agricultural resource centers, attempting to reach rural farmers and integrate them into a structured supply-chain and value-chain system.Through its model, MKCL seeks to improve productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, facilitate access to quality inputs and markets, and thereby uplift farmer livelihoods while contributing to national food security. Since its IPO in late 2023, MKCL has attracted investor attention as one of the first publicly listed companies in Nepal’s agriculture sector symbol MKCL on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE).The company’s market data show that it has a paid-up capital base, issued shares, and as of recent periods it has declared a dividend (8% bonus shares + 0.42% cash dividend for FY 2081/82) signaling operational and financial activity beyond just founding stages. Despite being relatively new as a listed entity, MKCL is emerging as a notable player attempting to modernize agriculture in Nepal.
