20 June 2025: Early morning today, His Excellency the Lyonpo opened the first dedicated Organic Outlet at Kaja Throm, Thimphu. It is the joint initiative of the DAMC, NCOA and the DoA to establish the outlet to benefit certified organic farmers of our country. There are
currently 344 certified organic groups and individuals and it has been a great relief for the organic growers to see the outlet established.
The Outlet will be operated by Bio Bhutan, a company which have more than 14 years of experience dealing with organic products and export of organic-certified products.
The opening program was also attended by the Chief Representative of JICA and also virtually by the Founder of Sun Smile Co., Ltd – a Japanese company which also works on an Organic project in Chanachen village of Chhukha Dzongkhag.
His Excellency shared to the Organic growers present at the opening that today’s outcome is a result of long years of planning and effort by all stakeholders to promote organic farming in the country. H.E. also highlighted the importance of preparing ourselves for the Gelephu Mindfulness City, where we may need to source organic products from different parts of the country and the responsibility of each of us to work hard to achieve it.
His Excellency thanked JICA and the Chief Representative for their steadfast support always to Bhutan and in particular to the support to the agricultural sector for the past many years and now.
