Where does the agriculture budget go?

Sub-federal levels should better manage agriculture as they are closer to the farmers.

As per the Constitution of Nepal, sub-national governments—provincial and local—are in charge of agriculture. Specifically, provinces are mandated to manage agriculture and livestock development, while local governments hold exclusive authority over various areas such as agriculture and livestock farming, agricultural production management, animal health, agricultural roads and related matters. However, agriculture isn’t under the exclusive jurisdiction at the federal level. Instead, it is included in the concurrent list shared by all three levels of government. It is essential to understand that exclusive rights prevail over concurrent rights.
