Nepal Launches First Annual Agriculture Data System

The Government of Nepal has launched its first-ever annual agriculture data system, introducing a modern survey aimed at improving evidence-based policymaking in the agricultural sector. The new system is designed to collect accurate and timely data on crop production, land use, and farming practices across the country.

Officials say the initiative will help strengthen agricultural planning, food security strategies, and policy decisions, while also supporting farmers through better-targeted programs. The annual survey marks a major step toward modernizing Nepal’s agricultural data management and improving long-term sector development.
