Here is a New Nepali Short Movie posted by Short Movie Nepali in their Youtube channel. In this channel we can see a maize field and two love couples. Maize is the second most inportant crop on Nepal. It is cultivated in 824525 hectare area. Its total production as about 1484112 metric tons. Its average productivity is 1800 kilograms per hectare. The Hill area that extendeds from eats to west is the most important maize growing area. Eastern, Central and Western Hill are the highest maize growing areas of the country.
Chitwan district ranks first in maize production. It produces 4.12 percent of the total maize production. Kavre and Tanahun districts rank second and third position which produce 3.44 percent and 3.2 percent of this total maize productions respectively. Maize production is less in Munsang, Humla, Rupandehi and Siraha districts. The prodctivity of maize is observed highest in Kahtmandu while it is lowest in Manang and Gulmi.
Nepal imported 524,592 mt of rice (worth NPR 13,966 millions) and 241,917 mt (worth NPR 4,730 million) of maize during January-October 2012. Despite the record high production in 2011, rice import surged by 311 percent in 2012.
Overall outlook for winter crops especially wheat and barley remains moderate. Due to late plantation and poor soil moisture, production of winter crops was expected to decline. However, winter rain (second week of January) has revived the normal production expectation for wheat.
In India, the 2012/13 summer paddy production is below the record high production of 2011/12 by some 17 percent though its food grain production estimates for 2012/13 stand higher than the five-year average by some four million mt. FAO and IGC1 estimate global paddy and maize production at 728.7 and 876 million mt respectively. At 728.7 million mt, paddy production is set to surpass the 2011 historical record by 4.9 million mt or by 0.7 percent. Click Here To Proceed To Movie
