Abstract

Despite decade long prioritized investment and planning the agriculture sector in Nepal is continuously declining in terms of production and labour engagement. If such structural shift were systematic it would be satisfactory. But in absence of sustainable development in other sectors like service and industry, such shift could be suicidal for a country having deep-rooted life style, culture, religion and knowledge based on agriculture. This paper attempts to explore the existing disappointments in agriculture, analyses some causes of the problem and will suggest some easily applicable recommendations.

Key words: Agriculture; Absence of sustainable development; Service and industry; Decline; Nepal
