NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL POLICY, 2004
- The 1991 Policy Outlines of Agricultural Development and the Agricultural Perspective Plan, which have been brought into force with the objective of ensuring an overall development of the agricultural sector, have provided, to some extent, a sense of direction to the process of development of this sector.
- Even then, against the background of economic liberalizations, the commitments made by the country at eh World Trade Organization and national organizations, the sustainable development agenda set for the country and its goals of millennium development, the need had been felt for formulating and implementing a new National Agricultural Policy that retains the basic aspects of the Agricultural Perspective Plan. Accordingly, His Majesty’s Government has promulgated this National Agricultural Policy, 2004.
- All commodity and subject specific polloien which have been or will be formulated in this sector will be guide by this policy.
