“…They require a large amount of investment in terms of fertilizer, irrigation, labor force, and plant protection chemicals. Only 54 percent of the total cultivated land is irrigated, among which only 33 percent of the land has year-round irrigation facilities in Nepal (Dahal et al, 2022). Such a situation makes the Nepalese cereal production system highly monsoon dependent.…”

A critical review of agriculture policies during different plan periods, aligned with political changes, has been conducted out to understand the shift in priorities, technology transfer ,support products, and private sector engagement. Firstly, in the 1950s, the policies were influenced by the first five-year plan and focused on the import and dissemination of technology. During the three decades of the Panchayat era, there was an emphasis on state mechanisms for technology transfer, agribusiness, and research, with limited incentives for the private sector. After 1990, agricultural policy products followed a path of liberalization and focused on defining the state’s role and promoting pluralism. This period witnessed the establishment of a wide range of private and cooperative-led agribusinesses, although their growth was hindered by political conflict. Subsequently, policies began to incorporate priorities such as nutrition security, comparative advantage, competitiveness, climate change adaptation, agrobiodiversity conservation, and sustainability. However, with the federalization of the state and establishment of a three-tier governance system in 2015, agriculture policies, priorities and strategies a became fragmented, diversified, and localized, and lack harmonization. This review demonstrates that agriculture policies were largely influenced by domestic political developments and structural changes at the international level. Nonetheless, a consistent focus on increasing production and productivity, as well as achieving food security and self-sufficiency, can be observed.. Throughout all policy periods, supply chain development, a crucial component of agribusiness, received limited prioritization, which remains a major impediment to agricultural transformation. Despite seven decades of policy evolution, Nepal has been unable to create an enabling policy environment to attract significant private and cooperative sector investments that could drive substantial growth in agribusiness. This situation calls for further research in the field of policy formulation capacity among the three tiers of government to foster agribusiness and promote supply chain development for agricultural transformation.

“…Nepal's agricultural biodiversity is rich due to its high degree of variety in altitudinal, topographical, and temporal features. Cereal crops being the major AGDP (Agriculture GDP) contributor not only have the highest percentage of land and production, but they also have the highest level of interest among the agricultural stakeholders (Dahal et al, 2022). Likewise, Cereal accounts for 65 and 60 percent of total food energy and protein consumption in Nepal respectively (Acharya et al, 2018).…”

Nepal’s agriculture extension service delivery has been restructured in accordance with federal constitutional provisions. The constitutional provisions promise good governance and service delivery to the people, ensuring equal and easy access to services and to make public administration clean, competent, impartial, transparent, responsible, and participative. In this context, this research was design to study cereal growing farmers’ perception on effectiveness of local public agriculture extension service in three municipalities of Rupandehi district selecting 120 respondents. Non-experimental survey research design was employed using Likert scale to measure perception of farmers. The overall effectiveness index of selected extension service was assessed using five parameters. Public extension services in the study site were viewed as being effective with relative index value of 0.71. Participation of farmer in decision making, involving them in planning was found to be satisfactory. Although, there appeared the issue of affordability of service with index value (0.51), timeliness (0.53), and long documentation procedure (0.54) with the obtained extension services. However, frequency of extension officials on visiting farmers field, farmers education and their household size have positive and significant impact on cereal production at study site. Moreover, there is need of restructuring service delivery in local level considering these underlying factors.

“…The population of Nepal is increasing day by day and agricultural land is decreasing by the abandonment of agricultural land in the hilly region and the conversion of agricultural land into residential land in tarai region (Paudel, Tamang, & Shreshtha, 2014) . Fulfilling food demand in situations of decreasing agricultural land and growing population, suitability-based agriculture is needed for production of food crops in large amount (Dahal, Ghimire, & Poudel, 2022). Suitability based agriculture is the agricultural activity undertaken based on soil nutrients, climate, physiography and slope of the land (Chalise, Kumar, & Kristiansen, 2019).…”

Land suitability is the fitness of a given type of land for a defined use. The land may be considered in its present condition or after improvements. This paper aims to present the land suitability of the study area for major cereal crops. The present study is conducted in ward no. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of Sainamaina municipality Rupandehi district Nepal. Soil samples were taken from 29 different pits from polygon generated by intersecting land system map and land capability map within agricultural land use map with the help of geographic information system. Collected soil samples were tested in soil the laboratory of central department of geography, Tribhuwan University. Land suitability for major cereal crops paddy, wheat, maize and millet were derived from FAO guideline for land evaluation. As a result, the land of study area is found more suitable for wheat followed by paddy maize and millet.
