Problems of Agriculture Marketing in Nepal

Nepal is an agricultural country so, a well developed agricultural marketing system is necessary for encouraging farmers for higher production from the land. But the agricultural system in Nepal is highly exploitative because farmers don’t get a reasonable price for their products. There are many problems related to the management and development of agricultural marketing in Nepal which is as follows:

1. Lack of transportation and communication facilities:

Especially, farmers in the village can’t carry their products to the market centers due to the lack of transportation facilities. Similarly, due to the lack of communication facilities, farmers are unable to get the market information like demand price, etc. so, they don’t know the actual price of their products. Thus, they have to sell their products in the primary market at a low price.

2. Lack of storage facilities:

The farmers have to sell their products immediately after harvest due to the lack of proper storage facilities. Generally, the price of agricultural products sharply falls during the harvesting season. Most of the food grains are destroyed or decayed if they are kept for the future. So, the farmers are compelled to sell their products at a low price.

3. No uniformity of weight and measures:

The standard uniform measurement system is not yet practiced yet in the rural area of Nepal. Most of the traders don’t use proper weight and measures. They still use traditional weight and measures such as mana, pathi, dharni, etc. and they also use stone, bricks, etc in buying goods which are not reliable and appropriate.
