Analysis of Nepal's agro- environmental quality for Paddy productivity was conducted using statistical techniques. Factor analysis was used to arrive at the more relevant and applicable variables which gave an accurate measure of the underlying caused to the variation in agro-environmental quality. Index values were then statistically compared with the ranking of Taxonomic analysis. Thorough investigation on the significant deterministic parameters and their application in the impact prediction model is recommended.
