Abstract

To fill data gaps in current agricultural statistics, the growing share of vegetable crops was identified to be measured through the nationally representative survey. The Vegetable Crops Survey 2009-10 was conducted for the first time in Nepal. The survey was designed with the following objectives:

(i) To estimate area, production and input-output ratio of the vegetable crops at national and sub-national levels;

(ii) To generate agriculture statistics support to the annual and benchmarking Quarterly National Accounting (QNA);

(iii) To assess the changes in land use and vegetable crop diversification pattern practiced in recent years; and

(iv) To generate statistics required for the development of vegetable crops to planners, policy makers and researchers.
