Nepal's Agricultural Subsidy System Faces Criticism for Inefficiency and Lack of Transparency
Nepal's agricultural subsidy system is under scrutiny for its inefficiency and lack of transparency. Despite significant investments, farmers struggle to access these benefits due to a fragmented distribution process across federal, provincial, and local levels. The system is criticized for favoring well-connected individuals over actual farmers, leading to widespread confusion and dissatisfaction. The lack of a unified approach and clear guidelines exacerbates the challenges faced by small and new farmers, who often find themselves excluded from the subsidy process.
