The Karnali province in Nepal has seen a significant decrease in agricultural production, with an 11.24% drop by mid-December of the fiscal year 2021/22, as reported by the Nepal Rastra Bank. The area of land used for agriculture and the production of key crops like paddy, corn, and wheat have all declined, leading to a decrease in overall crop production. Despite these setbacks, there has been a slight increase in the cultivation of millet, black wheat, soybean, pulse, and oily products. Factors such as the continued use of traditional farming methods, a shortage of fertilizers and seeds, and inadequate irrigation facilities are contributing to the reduction in agricultural land and production.
