Agriculture

Hilly subsistence-plus agriculture: maize, millet, paddy, wheat, ginger, vegetables and pulses. Livestock: goat, buffalo, cattle. Limited irrigation and market access. High potential for ginger and coffee if processing/roads improve. For Runtigadhi, ward-level disaggregated crop statistics are not publicly available; inferred from district profile.

Carbon & forestry context

Forest cover ~52.8%. Mixed sal, pine and broadleaf forests; community forestry expanding after conflict. Significant carbon sink potential in rehabilitated forests; no registered carbon projects. Municipality-level forest-cover maps are not available in this dossier; figures are district averages.

Key opportunities

  • Agriculture intensification and market linkage
  • Livestock and poultry commercialization
  • Community forestry/NTFP enterprise
  • Conflict-heritage and rural tourism
  • Ginger, coffee, cardamom and vegetable commercial farming

Natural calamities on record

  • Landslides and road collapses during monsoon; 2015 earthquake damage. Floods along Madi and West Rapti tributaries. Forest fires in dry season. Cold waves in higher villages. Conflict legacy left some areas with damaged infrastructure and higher vulnerability.
