Bjena Gewog would like to sincerely acknowledge the valuable support received from the RNR-JOBS Project through the supply of 9 metric tons of potato seed (Yusi Marp) for the farmers of Khotokha.

Potato being the main cash crop of Khotokha, this intervention was mainly aimed at replacing degenerating seeds improving yield, and strengthening farmers’ income and food security.

📅 The potato seeds were received on 16 December 2025.
📅 A hands-on demonstration on seed sowing methods and proper fertilizer utilization was successfully conducted on 17 February 2026.

Such timely support is vital in strengthening the potato value chain and promoting sustainable farming practices in the gewog. We sincerely thank the RNR-JOBS Project for their continued support to our farming community. 🙏🌾
