नेपालका प्रमुख वस्तुहरूको आयातमा व्यापक वृद्धि, पेट्रोलियमको आयातमा सामान्य गिरावटNepal’s Import Trends Show Sharp Rise in Key Commodities Despite Slight Drop in Petroleum Imports

आर्थिक वर्ष २०८१/८२ का पहिलो नौ महिनाको वैदेशिक व्यापार विवरण अनुसार नेपालले केही प्रमुख वस्तुहरूको आयातमा तीव्र वृद्धि गरेको देखिएको छ। यद्यपि, पेट्रोलियम पदार्थहरूको आयातमा सामान्य गिरावट आएको छ।

"तालिका १८: प्रमुख वस्तुहरूको आयात" अनुसार, पेट्रोलियम पदार्थको आयात अघिल्लो वर्षको २१८.७८ अर्ब रुपैयाँबाट घटेर यस वर्ष २१०.१५ अर्ब रुपैयाँमा झरेको छ, जुन करिब ८.६ अर्बको कमी हो। तर अन्य वस्तुहरूमा उल्लेखनीय वृद्धिले कुल आयात खर्च अझै उच्च बनाएको छ।

सबैभन्दा चकित पार्ने वृद्धि कच्चा सोयाबिन तेल मा देखिएको छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षको १०.८५ अर्ब रुपैयाँबाट एकै पटक ६५.१० अर्ब रुपैयाँमा पुगेको छ। यो करिब ६ गुणाले बढी हो, जुन नेपालमा खाद्य प्रशोधन उद्योग र उपभोग दुबैको वृद्धिको संकेत हो।

सवारीसाधन र त्यसका पार्टपुर्जाहरूको आयात ५४.७० अर्बबाट ६६.१३ अर्ब रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ। यस्तै, अन्य मेशिनरी र पार्ट्स को आयात पनि ५५.४३ अर्बबाट बढेर ५८.७६ अर्ब रुपैयाँमा पुगेको छ।

स्वास्थ्य, सूचना प्रविधि, र उपभोग्य वस्तुहरूमामा पनि उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि देखिएको छ:

  • औषधि: ३३.१३ अर्ब → ३४.८० अर्ब

  • दूरसञ्चार उपकरण: २८.३० अर्ब → ३१.३१ अर्ब

  • रेडिमेड लुगा: २५.८९ अर्ब → ३०.८५ अर्ब

धान/चामल को आयात १७.५१ अर्बबाट ३१.७९ अर्ब रुपैयाँ पुगेको छ, जसले घरेलु उत्पादनमा कमी वा उपभोगमा परिवर्तनको सङ्केत दिन्छ। खाद्य तेल (Edible Oil) को आयात १२.९१ अर्बबाट २३.१३ अर्बमा उक्लिएको छ।

रासायनिक मल को आयात २३.५९ अर्बबाट घटेर २०.२६ अर्ब रुपैयाँमा झरेको छ, जसले सरकारी खरिद घटेको वा स्वदेशी उत्पादन बढेको अनुमान गर्न सकिन्छ। यस्तै, इलेक्ट्रिकल इक्युपमेन्ट को आयात पनि २६.५७ अर्बबाट घटेर २४.७७ अर्बमा झरेको छ।

अन्य केही वस्तुहरूको उल्लेखनीय आयात वृद्धि:

  • हट रोल्ड सिट इन क्वायल: १५.४८ अर्ब → २२.१५ अर्ब

  • सुन: १७.७४ अर्ब → १९.४६ अर्ब

  • इलेक्ट्रिकल सामान: १३.८९ अर्ब → १८.५३ अर्ब

  • धागो (Thread): १४.९६ अर्ब → १७.४२ अर्ब

  • एम.एस. बार, क्वायल्स: ८.०१ अर्ब → ११.९९ अर्ब

समग्रमा हेर्दा, पेट्रोलियमको आयातमा केही गिरावट भए पनि अन्य अधिकांश वस्तुहरूको आयातमा उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि देखिएको छ। यो प्रवृत्तिले नेपालको उपभोग, औद्योगिक माग, र पूर्वाधार विकास तीव्र रूपमा बढिरहेको संकेत दिन्छ। तर यसले आर्थिक व्यवस्थापनका हिसाबले व्यापार घाटा, मुद्रास्फीति र वैदेशिक मुद्रा सञ्चितिमा चुनौतीहरू पनि निम्त्याउनेछ।

The recent foreign trade statistics released for the first nine months of the fiscal year 2024/25 reveal notable shifts in Nepal's import patterns, with dramatic increases in several essential commodities, despite a marginal decline in petroleum product imports.

According to the data presented in Table 18: Imports of Major Commodities, total petroleum product imports declined from Rs. 218.78 billion in 2023/24 to Rs. 210.15 billion in 2024/25, showing a drop of over Rs. 8.6 billion. However, this minor dip in petroleum was offset by significant spikes in other critical imports, reflecting changing domestic demand and supply chain dynamics.

One of the most astonishing changes was seen in crude soybean oil, which jumped from Rs. 10.86 billion last fiscal year to Rs. 65.10 billion this year — an almost six-fold surge. This sharp increase indicates a booming demand, likely tied to both industrial processing and consumption.

Likewise, vehicle and transport equipment imports rose from Rs. 54.70 billion to Rs. 66.13 billion, a clear signal of increased infrastructure development and consumer purchasing in the automobile sector. Other machinery and partsalso saw an upward trend, increasing from Rs. 55.43 billion to Rs. 58.76 billion.

Significant rises were observed in imports of medicines (from Rs. 33.13 billion to Rs. 34.80 billion), telecommunication equipment (Rs. 28.30 billion to Rs. 31.31 billion), and readymade garments (Rs. 25.89 billion to Rs. 30.85 billion), suggesting both higher consumption levels and the expansion of the healthcare and technology sectors.

Among agro-industrial inputs, rice and paddy imports surged from Rs. 17.51 billion to Rs. 31.79 billion, implying possible shortfalls in domestic production or a shift in local food demand. Similarly, edible oil imports climbed from Rs. 12.91 billion to Rs. 23.13 billion.

Meanwhile, imports of chemical fertilizers fell from Rs. 23.59 billion to Rs. 20.26 billion, hinting at reduced government procurement or improved local production. Electrical equipment imports also declined from Rs. 26.57 billion to Rs. 24.77 billion.

Other commodities that saw notable increases include:

  • Hot rolled sheet in coil: Rs. 15.48B → Rs. 22.15B

  • Gold: Rs. 17.74B → Rs. 19.46B

  • Electrical goods: Rs. 13.89B → Rs. 18.53B

  • Thread: Rs. 14.96B → Rs. 17.42B

  • M.S. Wire Rod, Bars, Coils: Rs. 8.01B → Rs. 11.99B

The consistent upward movement across most industrial and consumer-oriented imports indicates increasing domestic consumption, industrial expansion, and possibly higher inflationary pressures.

In conclusion, while Nepal saw a slight decrease in petroleum imports, the overall import bill for major commodities is expected to rise, driven by growing demands in food, fuel alternatives, industrial inputs, and infrastructure. This trend highlights both the opportunities and challenges for the government in managing trade deficits, local production capacities, and foreign exchange reserves.
