Importance of Agriculture in Nepal

Our country Nepal has more villages than towns. Most of the peoples are farmers. They depend on agriculture, which is the backbone of the country, supplies people with the daily needs. Unless Nepal can develop agricultural sectors, the upliftment of the country proves to be impossible.

Agricultural sectors provide us with many benefits and achievements. Firstly, we can get our food from agriculture. We can get fresh crops vegetables, fruits etc from our farms. Most of the farmers apply traditional methods of farming because most of them are not well trained and educated.Unless an agro-based  country can feed its people, development may not gear up its pace, rather crawls.

        More than 90% of the people are employed in agricultural sectors. If we can develop it properly, the problem of unemployment is easily solved. In Nepal there are some industries which are based on agricultural products. It provides raw materials to agriculture-base industries. Thus, agricultural development in Nepal is very important to provide daily needs to the people, increase exports, cut down imports, solve the problem of unemployment and provide raw materials to some industries.
