Accord Priority To Agriculture Sector

There is no doubt that Nepal is an agro-based country. There are hundreds of thousands of people, who not only depend on agriculture for making an income, but also in providing day-to-day staple diet for their families and for themselves to make ends meet. Forget the whole country, but there was a time when even the presently crowded Kathmandu was self-sufficient in basic products like rice, wheat and vegetables. In fact the vegetable products of Kathmandu were taken as a huge delicacy even in the Terai area, considered the food belt of the country and some vegetables were also exported to India.
