Chhukha: Fourteen households in Toktokgom village under Bongo gewog received 2000 numbers each of improved variety asparagus saplings on August 17 from the Dzongkhag Agriculture Sector. The initiative will help farmers to earn a good income and enhance their livelihoods.
Although the village is one of the remotest gewog, it has a huge potential for a high value crop like asparagus because of its geographical location and good vegetation coverage.
The community received farmroad a year ago with fund support from Chhukha Dzongkhag Administration which provided them an opportunity to explore and venture into better and commercial oriented farming.
