Abstract: Paddy is important crop of Nepal, which have significant role in food security and supporting livelihood of the Nepalese population. Although Nepal has harvested the record production in recent year, but it is still far behind to substitute the import. Various strategies are required to be developed to make Nepal self-sufficient in rice. The objective of this paper is to identify the various constraints of paddy production in Nepal. This study utilizes the primary data collected through semi-structured questionnaires. A total 120 paddy growing household were surveyed in Kapilvastu and Rupandehi district (60 in each district) for the study. Study identifies, that among the various constraints faced by farmers major constraints are lack of improved varieties, inadequate supply of chemical fertilizer, lack of proper farm equipment and dependence on monsoon rain for successful crop.
