Assessing the progress of SDF’s Livelihood Project in Bhutan

Paro Bhutan,  April 2022 - SDF's livelihood enhancement project provides farmers in the SAARC Member States, including Bhutan, opportunities to improve their livelihoods and increase income through small scale agro-business focusing on value chain development.

SDF’s partners and Implementing Agency in Bhutan - Department of Agriculture and especially the National Post Harvest Centre led by the Chief Post-Production Officer Mr. Dechen Tshering - took the SDF team around the centre showing progress and the benefits to farmers.

The SDF team, led by the Officer-In-Charge of SDF, also assessed the benefits of the Refrigerator Truck, which was bought with SDF support to transport perishable agriculture produce from the farms to either the cold storage or the market.

The trucks are equipped with temperature control and monitoring mechanisms to keep agriculture contents safe and consumable!
