INTRODUCTION

 The kingdom of Nepal is a small and totally land locked mountainous country in South Asia.

 It is situated between 26°22’ and 30°27’ north latitude and 80°4’ and 88°12’ east longitude.
 It is surrounded by India to the East, South and West and by the Tibetan region of China to
 the North. The shape of the country is somewhat rectangular measuring 880 km from East to West
 and 130 to 240 km in width. The total geographical area of the country is 147,181 square km.
 The population of the kingdom was 21.4 million in 1996/97 with an annual growth rate of 2.1 percent.
 Per capita GDP was very low in 1996/97 (US$200). The total cultivable area is 3.96 million
hectares of which 2.97 million ha are under cultivation. The irrigated area is only 26% of
the total cultivated land; the rest depends largely on monsoon rain, 80% of which is received
 during June to September.

Nepal is a predominantly agricultural country. Agriculture is the lead sector for the national
economy and accounts for about 42% of the GDP. About 81.1% of the population or about 3.3 million
families are engaged in agriculture. Land holding per family of 5-6 members is 6.5 ha in the
 hills and 1.8 ha in the terai.

The Nepalese hill economy is characterized by typical subsistence agriculture based on cereal
 crops, and is practiced on terraces of often very steep slopes which are subjected to a great
 loss of top soil by erosion during heavy rain. Hilly soil is generally acidic and with poor
 nutrient content, especially nitrogen.

Administratively, the country is divided into 75 districts and five development regions,
 namely, Eastern (16 districts), Central (19 districts), Western (16 districts), Mid-Western

 (15 districts) and Far-Western (9 districts).
