Nepal’s economy is based on agriculture and about one-third of national GDP is hold by agriculture sector. According to data of 2068(2011), 30, 91,000 ha land is total cultivable land of Nepal. Many Nepalese lands are fragmented and traditional type of agriculture is performed in those lands. Many government and non- government project are running for sustainability of agriculture sectors but limited source and limited tools leads to its unsustainability. There is no profitable agricultural works.

 Private sector and youth are not interested in investment on agriculture due to non-profitable agricultural works which directly effect on Nepalese employment. Lack of good quality agricultural tools, lack of mechanization in agriculture, labor based agriculture system, no sufficient irrigation, lack of agricultural roads, insufficient rural electricity, poor agro based  industries and no marketable production leads agricultural to traditional occupation rather than business. For solving this problems PMAMP is introduce whose motto is to increase agricultural productions and productivity using necessary tools and techniques such as mechanization, processing and marketing tools development.
