Why does Nepal have a high proportion of tertiary industry?

Nepal is an agricultural country, and 9% of its economic population lives in rural areas or small towns. The gross domestic product (GDP) is mainly composed of agriculture and its related industries. The proportion of agriculture in GDP was as high as 69% in 1974/75. With the development of public facilities, businesses, hotels, transportation and service industries, this proportion has dropped to 56% in 199/91, but it still ranks first. Agricultural production has always been supported by the government, but its mode of production is still relatively backward and the level of agricultural mechanization is low. The development of manufacturing industry has been slow, which is mainly composed of carpet, clothing and handicraft industry, accounting for 5.4% of GDP in 199/91. Nepal's economic growth rate is relatively low, with an average annual growth rate of 2.3% during the fifth five-year plan period (1974-1979/8), mainly due to the quality of agricultural harvest. The economic growth rate in 1989/9 was only 3.6%. Nepal's per capita income is lower than the international standard. In 1988, the per capita income was $18. According to the report of the National Planning Commission of Nepal, 43% of the people live below the poverty line. The income of the top 1% families accounts for 47% of the total income, while the income of the bottom 2% families accounts for only 4.6% of the total income, which shows that the polarization between the rich and the poor is serious. In 198s, due to a large amount of foreign capital inflow, Nepal's investment reached a level close to that of other developing countries. During the sixth five-year plan (198/81-1984/85), foreign capital accounted for 53% of the government's development expenditure, and during the seventh five-year plan (1985/86-1989/9), this proportion rose to 7%.
