Benefits to Canada
By exporting Hop rhizomes to Nepal from Canada an increase in employment rates throughout the agricultural industry would be experienced. More jobs will be needed in order to provide proper care of both obtaining and shipping the rhizomes. Positions will need to be filled within the breeding, obtaining, and transportation of each plant therefore allowing for a wide variety of individuals to find work within different sectors of the agriculture industry. This increase in jobs and sales will result in economic development to occur therefore having a positive effect on Canada as a whole.
Benefits to Companies
Companies such as Hops of Pelham Inc will receive a large incline in sales as more rhizomes will be purchased in large quantities to export to Nepal. Hops of Pelham Inc sells rhizomes in bulks of 1000 therefore allowing for Nepalese farmers to purchase enough hop rhizomes to start a successful business. With each purchase of 1000 hop rhizomes costing 4000 dollars (4 dollars per rhizome) Nepalese farmers could place one order and share it among multiple farmers thus allowing for quality rhizomes to be purchased at a lower price. Due to the large variety of hop plants sold at Hops of Pelham inc if Nepalese hop farms chose to import a different kind of hop rhizome other than the cascade hop the same Canadian company may be used.

Permits Required
Importing the rhizomes to Nepal has many challenges due to the rhizomes being shipped in Canadian soil. Importing and exporting plants within soil is extremely difficult as soil can contain a wide variety of pest which can in turn affect other crops within a country (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, 2015). An import permit must be cleared before the rhizomes entire Nepal. Only the required amount of rhizomes may be shipped and once approved may entire the country in order to decrease the risks of invasive pests (Ministry of Primary Industries, 2011). Upon contacting Hops of Pelham Inc the company is aware of the need of permeants and is willing to provide a phytosanitary certificate to insure that the rhizomes may entire the country. This documentation insures that the plants have been inspected for the pests and diseases that are not welcome within the country of Nepal therefore insuring that any unwanted pest do not enter the country.
Competition
The beer industry world-wide is faced with a large amount of competition as vast majority of countries produce multiple different types and flavours of beer. Within the industry it is important to find a unique and tasty flavour that will intrigue the consumer therefore creating profit. The importing of a new hop plant such as the Cascade hop to Nepal will allow for a new flavour to be put on the market therefore allowing for beer buyers to be intrigued by the new brew.
While Canadian hops are well monitored and taken care of the rhizomes are extremely expensive. Due to China bordering Nepal transportation cost would be lower than those shipped from Canada therefore resulting in a majority of farmers choosing the product with the cheaper transportation cost. With the cost of transportation being much cheaper the cost of rhizomes from china are significantly lower as well. Some rhizomes are being sold for only 0.10¢ making a purchase of 1000 rhizomes only cost a farmer $100 (Can) instead of $4000 (Can) not including shipping (AliExpress, N/D). Due to the finical restrictions that many Nepalese face being able to get the plants at a lower cost would allow for more money to be put into the cost of running a facility and a larger number of rhizomes to be purchased for cheaper therefore making it more practical to purchase the rhizomes at a decreased cost.
