Daily Life In Nepal- Agriculture

Nepali farmers remove weeds from a paddy field in Kavrepalanchowk district of Nepal, on July 16, 2026, weeks after the transplantation of paddy saplings. The planting of paddy saplings in the field, known as ''Ropain,'' holds significance for farmers in Nepal, primarily during the monsoon season that starts in June and lasts for four months. In Nepal, paddy is cultivated from 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. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
