The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MoAC) of the Government of Nepal (GoN) is the lead government agency in national crop assessments and maintenance of crop situation data. Using the information collected through its network of agricultural service centers at the sub-district level and at the district agricultural offices, (MoAC) produces predictions and updates on the overall food supply situation in the country. Recent reports from MoAC highlighted that despite good crop situations in 2008 at the national level, areas in the Hill and Mountain districts in the Far- and Mid-West were affected by significant crop losses thereby affecting the food security
situation of the populations living in those poor and remote areas.For the last three years, the Hill and Mountain districts of Nepal’s Far- and Mid-Western Regions have been affected by recurrent droughts, hailstorms, landslides, and crop pest/diseases. These natural disasters have adversely affected the lives and livelihood of the people in these regions. WFP Nepal has implemented Emergency Operations (EMOP) since 2006 in order to provide immediate assistance to people in dire need of food.
