Nepal is classified as a low-income food-deficit country. Agriculture is central to the national economy, with nearly 80 per cent of all households (3.4 million) an 66 per cent of the national labour force depending principally on the sector for their livelihoods. Overall, the agriculture sector contributes 33 per cent of national GDP. Nevertheless, in per capita terms cereal production has declined by 8 per cent and livestock production has remained stagnant over the past decade.
