The table above shows that commercial sources provide an income equal to approximately 38% of net agricultural income. Seventy-four households have some income from commercial sources. The majority (fifty-three households) earn funds amounting to less than half their income from agriculture, while another eleven households have commercial incomes which amount to between 50 and 99% of their earnings from agriculture. Approximately one-quarter of Limbu households earn more from commercial than from agricultural sources.

Table 20 compares actual earnings of households from agricultural and commercial sources.
