The agricultural sector's growth rate is projected to decline to 1.58 percent in the current fiscal year 2025/26, down from 3.05 percent in the previous year. Despite an expected increase in most crop productions, cereal production is estimated to decrease by 1.63 percent due to unseasonal rainfall. Over 2.38 million households have registered under the farmer listing program, aimed at systematizing subsidy distribution and policy formulation.
