"Farming in Nepal"
Nepal
is an agricultural country. Around 75 % of people are engaged in this
occupation. Farming is one the most important occupation of Nepalese people
because it is the means of livelihood of the Nepalese people and it is the
income generating source of them.
In farming, different crops such as food crops
and cash crops are grown in Nepal. Food crops such as maize, wheat, barley,
paddy etc. are grown whereas cash crops such as jute, cotton, tea, sugarcane etc.
are grown. Food crops are grown by the farmers for their food whereas cash
crops are grown for generating money or income. The major crops grown in the
terai region is paddy because of its fertile land. Maize, wheat, millet are
grown in the hilly region whereas potato, barley etc. are grown in the mountain
region because of its climate.
A Nepalese
person has adapted the traditional method for farming which creates very
difficulties to work and produce productivity. Traditional tools like plough,
sickle etc are used by the farmers, which is not suitable for growing more
crops. Modern methods are not adapted by the farmers because they are not well
known about the modern tools and technology. According to the junior technician
assistance Mr. Agawam, Farming is the occupation which is performed by using
modern tools and technicians for crops yielding. But we the Nepalese people are
not able to adopt the modern tools and technology so Nepal is backward in
farming sector because of illiteracy and ignorance.
In the context
of Nepal, government is not fully dependent in the agricultural sector. So the
government support is less in the agriculture. There are many problems in the
farming in the context of Nepal. A facility of irrigation is not available in
all the parts, provisions of manures and medicines are not available for all
the farmers. Farmers are not well informed about the farming and the modern
tools and technology. So, far this farmer should be made well informed about
the modern tools and technology. Government should send the JT, JTA in all
places of the country Training should be given to the farmer's foe increasing
the producing. Provisions of manures and medicines should be made available.
In conclusion,
farming is the best occupation for Nepalese people so in order to make these
sectors make effective farmers should be aware about the modern tools and
technology and government should provide big support to the farmers and farming
sector.
