Limitations of the Principles involved in Farm Management

1. Small land holdings of farmers:- In Nepal, a large number of farmers have small farm size.
2. Subsistence farming (Just for consumption):- Because of small farm size, the objectives of small farmers’ remain to be consumption.
3. Traditional practices: – Small farmers continue to adopt traditional methods of production that involve no new investment. The range of technological or economic alternatives open to these farmers is very small.
4. No strategy to sell in the market: – The small farmers generally take long-term decisions as ‘when to buy and sell and where to buy and sell’. They have limited resources and this sets a limit to their capacity to produce. Hence, they try to concentrate their resources on the production of food required for family consumption.
