Nepali Farmers Engage In Paddy Plantation As Early Monsoon Gives Hope For Boom In Crop Production
Nepali farmers transplant paddy saplings on the outskirts of Lalitpur District as early monsoon rain gives hope for a boom in crop production this year. Nepal is expected to have above-average rainfall, which, according to the farmers, might increase their yield. In Nepal, paddy is cultivated from a height of 60 meters above sea level in Terai to 3,000 meters in the hills of Jumla's Chhumchaur. Nepal annually produces about 5.5 million metric tons of paddy, while consumption stands at 7 million metric tons. Last year, Nepal produced a total of 5.55 million metric tons from 1.45 million hectares of land. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
