Government
Local + national
Local governments provide land and matching capex; national ministries fold HFMN clusters into sector plans and public reporting.
§ 15 · PartnersSection 15
An institutional coalition.
HFMN works with governments, cooperatives, universities, development partners and international collaborators to build a shared textile future for Nepal.
The Story
The ecosystem is wider than the organization.
HFMN would not exist without its partners — cooperative federations, universities, banks, insurance providers, development partners and the government offices that keep rural infrastructure alive. The page below is our public acknowledgement of that ecosystem.

In Practice
Partnership, as shared risk.
Everything HFMN does — from a mulberry seedling to a finished bolt of cloth — is stewarded by a real cooperative, a real weaver and a real ledger. This is a snapshot.

Academia
Research & extension
Universities and research stations run the trials, the fibre testing and the students who become the next generation of cluster staff.

Buyers
Committed offtake
Retail and export buyers sign forward offtake on HFMN-marked product — turning a producer plan into a real market.
“A partner is someone who signs the same standard we do.
