General Status of the System of Food and Agriculture Statistics in Nepal
The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) under the National Planning Commission of the Royal Government of Nepal is the main statistical agency in the country and its responsibilities cover all sectors. There are three public agencies involved in statistical work the Central Bureau of Statistics, the statistics division of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Nepal Rastra Bank as well as semi-public agencies. In the field of agriculture, the government in 1993 gave CBS sole responsibility for the collection and publication of current agricultural statistics. Although the mandate for agricultural statistics was transferred to CBS, the statistics division of the Ministry of Agriculture still gathers many kinds of agricultural data for the ministry's own use.
