Honeyman Signs Nepal Franchise, Launches Honey-Sweetened Ice Cream Internationally
Honeyman, an Indian honey-first food and beverage brand with 100 outlets across India, has signed a country franchise agreement with Nepal's MV Dugar Group, marking its first international expansion. The brand will introduce its honey-sweetened, no-refined-sugar ice cream along with a multi-format retail ecosystem including cafes, bakeries, and packaged products. The launch will start in Kathmandu, with plans to expand to other urban centers. Nepal's ice cream market is valued at $189 million in 2025 and expected to grow to $263 million by 2032, driven by rising demand for premium and alternative sweeteners.
