Each of Nepal's 7 provinces runs its own Directorate of Agriculture Development with province-specific annual subsidy programs (seeds, equipment, irrigation, etc.). These vary by province and by fiscal-year budget and are not standardized nationally — we can't list all 7 here.

SKBBL is a wholesale microfinance institution (est. 2001, HQ Babarmahal, Kathmandu) that channels low-cost credit through partner Small Farmer Agriculture Cooperatives Ltd.

Nepal's largest national agriculture program, run by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forests and Environment (formerly the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, merged 2026-05-14).

This is a general entry point, not one specific subsidy.

Nepal's 753 local governments each set their own small annual agriculture budget (seed/plough/irrigation subsidies, grants for youth agri-entrepreneurs, etc.) as part of local planning. Program details differ by municipality and aren't centrally published anywhere we could verify — genuinely can't be listed here specifically.

Government-subsidized crop/livestock/herb insurance: 80% premium subsidy on coverage up to NPR 1 crore (10 million), 50% subsidy above that. Covers 27 crops (incl. paddy, potato, sugarcane, coffee, banana, tea, pulses, ginger, cardamom, timur, mango, and other fruits/vegetables) and 6 livestock/fisheries categories (poultry, pigs, fish, goats, cattle, fodder). Administered jointly by federal + provincial governments; insurance companies collect only the non-subsidized portion of the premium directly from farmers. The government has announced digitalization of the full insurance lifecycle (policy, premium, subsidy, claims) for FY 2026/27.
