Nepal's Agricultural Landscape | नेपालको कृषि परिदृश्य
Nepal, a beautiful Himalayan nation with a population of over 30 million, has agriculture as the backbone of its economy. The country's diverse geography ranges from the Terai plains (the "food basket" of Nepal) to mid-hills and high Himalayan regions, creating unique agricultural zones. Nepal is a major producer of rice, maize, wheat, millet, tea, coffee, large cardamom, ginger, turmeric, and medicinal herbs.
The agricultural sector employs over 66% of Nepal's workforce and contributes approximately 24% to the national GDP. The government's Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS) 2015-2035 aims to transform Nepal's agriculture from subsistence to commercial, competitive, and sustainable systems. IJOEAR provides Nepali agricultural researchers with a prestigious international platform to publish their findings.
Cereal Crops | अन्न बाली
Rice (paddy) is the staple food, cultivated primarily in the Terai plains during the summer monsoon. Maize, wheat, and millet are also major crops grown across different altitudinal zones.
High-Value Cash Crops | उच्च मूल्य नगदे बाली
Nepal is world-renowned for large cardamom, tea (Ilam, Dhankuta), coffee (organic Arabica), ginger, turmeric, and essential oil-bearing plants.
