Nepali farmers unable to predict and plan for crop failures due to unreliable monsoon timing

Nepali paddy farmers face devastating financial losses when monsoon rains arrive late or unpredictably, forcing them to absorb skyrocketing input costs (seeds, fertilizer, labor) without knowing if their crops will survive. Current solutions like traditional weather forecasting and government advisories lack the precision and timeliness needed for small-scale farmers to make critical planting and investment decisions, leaving them financially exposed to climate volatility.
