The Farmers of Nepal

Farming is the main occupation of the Nepalese people. About 80 percent of the people here are farmers and peasants. Hence, the country's economy is basically dependent on agriculture. Farmers as well as peasants live in the villagers of the hills and the plains.

        Most of the farmers in Nepal are not good condition. In spite of hard work in the land, they cannot get even enough to eat. They are surrounded by problems all the time peasants condition is worse. They live in small dirty huts and put on rags in the name of clothes. They are ignorant of the importance of good sanitation and clean drinking water.

        The agricultural product of our farmers is not satisfactory despite their toiling in the farm down to dusk.

        They generally apply traditional methods of farming. They lack improved seeds and chemical fertilizers. Irrigation is common problem. Most farmers have to depend on rainfall they have to sell crops at low rates. Agriculture Development Bank and Rural Development Banks help them to get loans with a low rate of interest which farmers pay back in certain installments. Farmers themselves should be responsive to change. They should try to keep up with time.
