Abstract
This report attempts to analyse the rate of growth and prospects for coarse grains in Nepal. It points out present trends in production and consumption in the various regions in Nepal and implications for Nepal's research programme. Major food crops in Nepal are rice, maize, wheat, millets, and pulses. Barley, buckwheat, and other minor crops are important food crops in the high mountains and the mid-hills. While crop yields have been at best stable over the years, population pressure is mounting rapidly. Per capita food production and the availability of food is decreasing
