Exemplary Farm Venture

Farming holds a great potential in Nepal. That's because of its diverse climate and land and abundant supply of fresh water, which make it possible to grow a wide variety of crops, including cereals, fruits, vegetables and oilseeds. However, this tremendous potential largely remains untapped for several challenges. The first is attitudinal problem. Farming is seen as something relatively uneducated or poor people do. So, educated people are reluctant to labour in the field, and many others are increasingly choosing to fly abroad as migrant workers over tilling their land for food. The other is a lack of modern technology. The reason why growth in agricultural production here is sluggish or even dwindling is because our farmers lack access to modern farming techniques and cutting-edge technology that together help yield bountiful harvest.
