Background
Nepal is an agro-based country. Most of the people in Nepal depend on agriculture which
provides daily needs such as crops, vegetables, fruits etc. Most of the cottage industries
in Nepal are also based on agriculture because it supplies with raw materials. Some of the
educated people are employed in other sectors such as teaching, office work, business etc.
Nepal is an agricultural country. About 80% of the peoples occupation is agriculture.
Trade is also mainly of agricultural products. Agriculture provides raw materials for the
industries. With the help of good manure, seeds, equipment and irrigation the growth of
crops is increased in large quantity. Agriculture is known as the backbone of economy
of Nepal. Agriculture occupation consists of three types: food crops, cash crops and mixed
crops.
However, the scenario is changing as the young generation is being attracted towards the
service related job at offices, restaurants, banks and so on. The new generation is gradually
departing from the traditional occupation of farming. This changing scenario has a lot of
implications and from the business perspective this has increased the scope of agriculture
related business even more.
On one hand the population of the country is rising and on the other hand, the manpower
is leaving the traditional occupation of farming to get better jobs in the service sector.
Hence, as of now, for any businesses which can produce agro-products successfully will
have no problem at selling its product.
Although, agriculture seems to be unprofitable business as of now, it really isnt. The
unprofitability issue arises based upon how we approach agriculture. The consumption
rate of agricultural product is very high in comparison other good and product. The scope
of agriculture in Nepal is very wide due to its fertile land topography and weather. If we
can use the modern technology and new technique we can earn more profit via agriculture
business.
Thus this project helps to analyze scope of agriculture, its problems, and solution to
overcome from those problems.
