The people of Bhutan can be divided into three broad ethnic categories–Ngalops, Sharecrops, and Lhotsampas. The Ngalops make up the majority of the population, living mostly in the western and central areas. The Ngalops are thought to be of Tibetan origin, arriving in Bhutan during the 8th and 9th centuries A.D. and bringing Buddhism with them. Most Ngalops follow the Drukpas Kagyupa discipline of Mahayana Buddhism. In a country that is deeply rooted within the Buddhist religion, many people’s sect of religion, as opposed to their ethnic group, characterizes them. The Ngalops predominate in the government, and the civil service and their cultural norms have been declared by the monarchy to be the standard for all citizens.

Bhutan is a landlocked country in South Asia situated in the Eastern Himalayas and bordered to the west by India’s state of Sikkim, to the east by Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal and Assam to the south, and to the north by China’s Tibet Autonomous Region. The country’s capital and largest city is Thimphu, located in the western central part of the country while Phuntsholing is the financial center.

The economy of Bhutan is one of the smallest in the world and is mainly based on agriculture and forestry which are the main source of livelihood for about 60% of the population. The economy is closely linked to that of India since it is dependent on India’s financial assistance. Infrastructural development relies on labor from India. However, a landscape that varies from rugged mountains to hills has made infrastructural development very difficult and expensive. The overall growth of the economy of Bhutan has largely been supported by the hydropower export to India. Lack of access to the sea also means the high cost of trading. Here are some of the biggest industries that have contributed to Bhutan’s economic growth over the years.

Economy

Bhutan’s small economy is based largely on hydropower, agriculture, and forestry, which provide the main livelihood for more than half the population. Because rugged mountains dominate the terrain and make the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive, industrial production is primarily of the cottage industry type. The economy is closely aligned with India’s through strong trade and monetary links and is dependent on India for financial assistance and migrant laborers for development projects, especially for road construction. Bhutan signed a pact in December 2014 to expand duty-free trade with Bangladesh.

Multilateral development organizations administer most educational, social, and environment programs, and take into account the government’s desire to protect the country’s environment and cultural traditions. For example, the government is cautious in its expansion of the tourist sector, restricting visits to environmentally conscientious tourists. Complicated controls and uncertain policies in areas such as industrial licensing, trade, labor, and finance continue to hamper foreign investment.

Bhutan’s largest export – hydropower to India – could spur sustainable growth in the coming years if Bhutan resolves chronic delays in construction. Bhutan’s hydropower exports comprise 40% of total exports and 25% of the government’s total revenue. Bhutan currently taps only 6.5% of its 24,000-megawatt hydropower potential and is behind schedule in building 12 new hydropower dams with a combined capacity of 10,000 megawatts by 2020 in accordance with a deal signed in 2008 with India. The high volume of imported materials to build hydropower plants has expanded Bhutan’s trade and current account deficits. Bhutan also signed a memorandum of understanding with Bangladesh and India in July 2017 to jointly construct a new hydropower plant for exporting electricity to Bangladesh.

Processing Coffee

Once the cherries have been picked, processing must begin quickly to minimize spoilage.   Depending on the resources and location of the grower, coffee is generally processed in one of two ways: the dry method or the wet method.

The Dry Method is the oldest and most widely used method of processing coffee. Quite simply, the freshly picked cherries are spread out on large raised screens and dried with the heat of the sun. After drying, the cherries are put through a hulling machine to remove the dried pulp and outer skin layers.

The Wet Method removes the pulp from the coffee cherries, separating the coffee seeds from the outer flesh layer. This is done either by hand, with small machines or by shared centralized de-pulping stations. The beans are then sorted, and transferred to large water-filled tanks for fermentation. They ferment for 12-48 hours, are rinsed, and then are sent off for drying. After drying, they are ready to be roasted.

Phosphate rich organic manure is a type of fertilizer used as an alternative to diammonium phosphate and single super phosphate. Phosphate Rich Organic Manure is produced by co-composting high-grade (32% P2O5 +/- 2%) rock phosphate in very fine size (say 80% finer than 54 microns). Needless to say, the finer the rock phosphate the better is the agronomic efficiency of PROM. Other benefits of PROM are that it supplies phosphorus to the second crop planted in a treated area as efficiently as the first, and that it can be produced using acidic waste solids recovered from the discharge of biogas plants.
