12 June 2025
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.

Nepal Remains Vulnerable To Disaster As It Expects Above-average Monsoon This Year

3 May 2025
A landslide induced by heavy monsoon rainfall last year lingers along the slopes of a hill on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 3, 2025, as it remains vulnerable to another disaster. Like in 2024, Nepal is expected to witness above-normal monsoon rains for the second consecutive year, according to a regional consensus among South Asian meteorologists. Above-normal rains could lead to more disasters, including flash floods and landslides. A statement issued by the 31st Session of the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum on April 29 indicates that most parts of South Asia are expected to receive above-normal rainfall during the 2025 southwest monsoon season, which spans from June to September. Monsoon onset typically occurs on June 13 and withdraws by October 2. The World Bank's recent Nepal Development Update notes that severe floods and landslides from September 26 to 28, caused by unusually intense monsoon activity intensified by climate change, result in damage amounting to 0.8 percent of the GDP. The total damage is estimated at Rs46.7 billion, affecting infrastructure, agriculture, and social sectors. Agricultural losses alone reach Rs7.2 billion, with vast farmland submerged, crops destroyed, and many livestock lost.
