The Nepal Freight Forwarders Association (NEFFA) has announced that it will celebrate the 32nd Cargo Day 2026 on 29 July 2026 (13 Shrawan 2083) at The Soaltee Kathmandu, under the theme “Efficient Logistics = Stronger Economy.” The event will bring together government officials, logistics professionals, airlines, shipping companies, customs authorities, and business leaders to discuss the future of Nepal's logistics and supply chain sector.
The programme, to be held under the chief guestship of Bagmati Province Chief Minister Indra Bahadur Baniya, aims to strengthen collaboration between the public and private sectors while promoting trade facilitation, infrastructure development, digital transformation, and international best practices in logistics.
Boosting Nepal's Tourism Through Better Logistics
For Nepal's tourism industry, efficient logistics plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth movement of goods and services that support hotels, trekking agencies, adventure tourism operators, airlines, and hospitality businesses. Improved cargo and freight services help strengthen tourism supply chains, enhance visitor experiences, and increase Nepal's competitiveness as a global travel destination.
The event is expected to provide an important platform for policymakers, logistics experts, tourism stakeholders, and international partners to exchange ideas on creating a more resilient and sustainable logistics network that supports both tourism and economic growth.
NEFFA Annual Awards 2026
As part of the celebration, NEFFA Annual Awards 2026 will honour outstanding contributions to Nepal's logistics and freight forwarding industry, including NEFFA members, government and non-government organisations, leading airlines, and long-serving airport personnel. The programme will also feature networking sessions, business discussions, and presentations on logistics and trade facilitation.
According to NEFFA, Cargo Day has evolved into more than an annual celebration—it is now a key platform for promoting policy dialogue, strengthening supply chains, supporting international trade, and contributing to Nepal's long-term economic and tourism development.
