Women in Trashigang form a cooperative

Women in Trashigang form a cooperativeWomen in Lumang Gewog under Trashigang have come together to form the first-ever cooperative. The Cooperative, inaugurated on Wednesday, will produce livestock feed for cattle and poultry.

They decided to form a group so to be able to meet the growing demand for cattle- an offshoot of increasing popularity of dairy farming.

The Women Livestock Feed Cooperative’s Chairperson, Tshomo, said if they work continuously they can produce 50 packets of feed a day but they hope to produce more in the future.


A packet of cattle feed will cost Nu.950 and poultry feed Nu.1,290 .

The National Commission for Women and Children, Bhutan Association of Women Entrepreneurs and Asian Development Bank’s Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction came together to make the project feasible.
