The federal, provincial, and local governments have committed to allocating a minimum of 10 percent of their budgets to the agriculture sector. The decision was made during the 11th thematic committee meeting chaired by Agriculture Minister Dr. Madan Prasad Pariyar in Bardiya. Discussions focused on strengthening food safety laws, improving minimum support price mechanisms, streamlining fertilizer distribution, and reducing duplication in subsidy programs. Authorities also pledged to expand agricultural insurance and encourage youth participation in farming.
