The present study is an attempt to assess the present situation of the Nepalese poultry industry and its comparison to other South Asian Countries with the help of survey and available secondary data. There were about 15.9 million poultry producing 10,962 Mt meat and 421,460 thousands of eggs including commercial and backyard poultry in the year 1996/97. The commercial poultry produced 269 eggs in 48 weeks of production with feed conversion ratio 2.9. The per Kg production cost of eggs was about 68.07 cents in US dollar. In case of broiler the cost of production was 99 cents/kg live weight with feed conversion ratio 2.4. The consumption of poultry products was comparatively low in all countries when compared with world average. But the growth rate in per capita consumption was significantly higher than the world average. The unorganized marketing system, poor transportation facilities, lack of technology, lack of quality control and processing were the major constraints. To overcome the situation a sustainable developmental strategy is suggested to develop and implement.
