Question

what should be done to modernize and commercialize agriculture in nepal?

Answer 1

The Nepalese agricultural sector is dominated by the production of basic staple grains. About 82 percent of cultivated land is planted with cereal crops, but basic staple grains contribute only about 30 percent of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (DFP).

Answer 2

Agriculture in Nepal is marked by low productivity which is essentially due to the supremacy of conventional agriculture practices, substantial dependence on weather conditions and poor infrastructure construction.

PACT strives to increase the competitiveness of smallholder peasants and agribusinesses within chosen products value series. The plan raises the value based on eligible schemes from private contractors, producer groups, organizations, merchants and exporters, for professional support, agribusiness development, post-harvest facilities, and business linkages.

PACT will grant supplement of 25-40 percent of the total agreed amount, which depends upon the nature of the application, coming from the endowment recipient.
