In line with Bhutan’s aim to have 100 per cent organic agriculture by 2020, all 12 gewogs in Tsirang have ventured into organic farming.

The district is the highest producer of crops and vegetables in the country. So, the dzongkhag agriculture sector has strictly advised the farmers to cultivate organic crops.

“We provided around three to four trainings to the farmers yearly. Moreover, nobody use chemical fertiliser since it is located in a remote place. So, I don’t think organic farming is new concept for them. I hope organic farming will be a success here,” said Sonam Tshering, the Agriculture Extension Officer of Barshong Gewog.

The organic farming is expected to have least environmental affects and to maintain hygienic food style to the consumers. Farmers said they are happy to take up organic farming since demand is high in the district and rest of the country.

“We don’t use any chemical fertilisers. We use manure and its helps to have good harvest. We also know that chemical pesticides will have side effects to our body,” said one of the farmers, Bhim Bahadur Tamang.

The country’s vision to become 100 per cent organic was launched in 2007.
