Bhutan - AGRO Ministry Project

On the bigger business side you have an example of Bhutan Agro Ministry pilot project for food processing, fully funded b y a Danish entity.

As an operation based entirely on the GNH precepts, plant operates for the benefit of farmers and as such is set up to help and educate people in agriculture as well as production and sales.

Farms are far flung in the small country.  The educational efforts are accomplished largely by word of mouth and radio programs.

Individual farmers bring their produce, largely fruit, and get a fair price.  This can often result in a welfare aspect.  The management believes that they must take the risk to help the farmers even if it is out of their budget.  They feel they must, on their own initiative, take the risk to help the people who need it.
