An example of Business-to-Business (B2B) e-Commerce, the Nepali e-Haat Bazaar (www.b2b.com.np) is a joint initiative of the Rural Urban Partnership Programme (RUPP) of Ministry of Local Development and UNDP, High Level Commission for Information Technology of Government of Nepal and the Agro Enterprises Centre (AEC) and the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), an apex body of Nepali private sector. e-Haat Bazaar is a portal which promotes market linkages and Nepali growers and producers to explore opportunities within and beyond Nepal. the initiative is linked to www.agripricenepal.com, a website which provides daily agriculture price information to farmers, traders and the wider business community. Agripricenepal.com is an initiative of RUPP, AEC and FNCCI and is coordinated with the Market Development Division (MDD) of Department of Agriculture of Government of Nepal's Ministry of Agricultur and Cooperatives.
The portal Provides market prices and relevant information from 11 major markets from around the country and more than 100 agriculture produces are profiled. Information on this initiative is limited, but some lesson published on the RUPP websites include: the initiative that gave positive exposure to local entrepreneurs and municipalities and village dvelopment committees to the potential of ICTs; digitally supported B2B business models that can customized to suit small and micro-Entrepreneurs, capacity gap of local institution and the novelty of the e-Business as a concept result in slow uptake of the initiative.
