Agriculture is the main source of encome of the nation. But in recent time many problems are showing up in this field. Nepalese farmers depend on monsoon for irrigation and planting their crops. The problems of irrigation are great as farmers have no others option than rain water in most of the parts of the country. The heavy rain washes the top level and some insects shows up destroying all the crops due to lack of knowledge of pesticides in peoples. In Nepal farmers still follow old traditional methods of agriculture and are unknown about the modern technology and methods of farming which in itself is a great problem in todays agriculture. Government of Nepal is also highly responsible for the fall of agriculture in the country as no proper programs are being made to promote farming in the country. 

 

The other main problem hampering agriculture in the country is the transportation and market. The cheapest way for the farmers to take their good to markets in different places is roadways as due to steep land slope waterways is not possible in most of the parts. Farmers depend on road transportation for sending goods they produce to different parts of the country. But there are no proper roads connecting hilly region to the terion region of the country. So the crops produced in the hilly region are not being able to reach other places of the country. Due to this the nation has to depend on the goods from india and china.Less export and the high amount of import of goods from other countries is hampering the economy of the country.

 

There are some steps to improve agriculture in the country and should be implemented as soon as possible. The government should provide the importance of agriculture in our life’s to all the public. An irrigation system should be improved and must be updated each new cycle of thoughts begins. The government should provide the methods for scientific farming on how to care the farming in the worst condition on supporting them also by providing the compensations to the farmers on losing economically. Also roads connection rural areas to the urbans and towns should be constructed.

 

 Farmers should have awareness about their farming. The development of the nation depends on agriculture. If agriculture is growing in good condition without any obstacles then the life status of farmers and the nations can be well improved.
