AGRI-FLORI EXPO 2014

• Agriculture Sector in Bhutan is at the core of the country’s socioeconomic-economic development program and has a
  dominant role in the economy of the country. Agriculture remains as the primary source of livelihood for the majority of
  the population. In a recent survey conducted by the world bank about 65% of Bhutan’s population is rural and thus depends
  on agriculture sector for their livelihood. However due to the lack of sufficient irrigation facilities and limited use of mechanization,
  the productivity is low compared to that in other neighbouring countries.
  The 1st ever Agri-Flori Expo, 2014 in Bhutan is organized by Bhutan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI) with the
  support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests to augment the Royal Government’s effort towards enhancing agriculture
  productivity, attain self-sufficiency in food products and overall food security of the country through introduction of
  new and high tech plant, machineries & tools.
  This expo endeavours to create platform which is first of its kind in the country for showcasing of Agro-based products,
  technology & business linkages to expose the general visitors to innovative ideas in Agricultural activities.
