Rising preference of
farmers to grow cash crops has led to decline in wheat field in Kanchanpur
district, western Nepal. Increasing urbanization and land plotting along with
the unavailability of fertilizers and improper irrigation system are also impelling
the farmers to switch to the cash crops. According to the Agriculture
Development Office, the area under wheat cultivation has dropped from 33,250 ha
five years ago to 31,750 ha at present.
