The roaring Maurichu
river that meandered gently throw a meadow of lush green paddy fields of
Jangdung, Mansangdaza and Menchuna villages of Saling Gewog, Monggar Dzongkhag.
Those villages falls into sub-tropical and some portions with cool and warm
temperate favorable for various fruits and vegetable cultivation. Gyalpoizhing
and Lingmethang town will no doubts of becoming future commercial hub of
eastern Bhutan due to Gyalpoizhing-Nganglam high way connection, west-east high
way widening with potential tourists destination to Lhunetse, Monggar,
Trashigang, Trashiyangtse and Pemagatshel districts. Furthermore, farmers of
this aforementioned villages in addition to Yongkola and Thrinangbee villages
had great potential for fruits and vegetable production due to scale of market
expansion and scenario of ever increasing population of this town areas. Upcoming of
Regional office and factory of Bhutan Agro-Industries Limited,(BAIL) at Lingmethang
in Bongdema Industrial Park, ( BIP) also become optimistic market for this and
entire eastern district farmers. I already foresee some smart and educated
farmers marketing diary products and fruits particularly avocado fetching good
market price. Therefore, i am very optimistic and hopeful that other farmers
might also copy or get inspired by this wonderful farmers and its epitomize
works can be replicate in other farmers fields with the passage of time and
space.
