Foreword

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forests is pleased to bring out the Bhutan RNR Statistics 2018 which is the 6th edition of a series of such publications since year 2000. The publication is a compendium of the relevant statistics in the domain of Renewable Natural Resources collected by Renewable Natural Resources Statistics Division (RSD) and various agencies within and outside the MoAF. The data presented are harmonised and validated by the RSD and the RNR Statistics Technical Working Group (RS-TWG) of the MoAF. As data are compiled from various sources, each statistical table is provided with the information sources so that data contributors are duly acknowledged and users can contact the source for further information. The statistical tables are presented under various chapters: production, trade, population, land use, etc.. The structure is organized in line with the recommendation of FAO, such that data are comparable at national, regional and international level. The publication is also available at http://www.moaf.gov.bt/category/rsd, I would like to extend my appreciation to RSD, RS-TWG and all the data contributors (departments/agencies including Dzongkhag and Gewog RNR sectors) for extending support and co-operation in bringing this publication on time.

Chapter 1: Production

This chapter presents summary statistics on harvested area of primary crops, and production, livestock population and products at the national level.

The crop statistics are based on the RNR Census 2019 conducted by the Renewable Natural Resources Statistics Division (RSD).

The statistics on livestock population and livestock production are based on the annual livestock census 2018 (complete enumeration) carried out by the Department of Livestock (DoL). Since all livestock keeping households are enumerated on a complete basis, the statistics given are actual totals and not based on estimates. Further, another important difference from the crop statistics is that the livestock statistical figures include live animal numbers and production from the government farms and hence reflects a complete picture of livestock population and production in the country.

Chapter 2: Trade

This chapter presents the year wise statistical tables on import and export of RNR commodities for the years 2014 to 2018, as per the Bhutan Trade Statistics of Department of Revenue and Customs (DRC), Ministry of Finance. Import of farm machineries are presented separately under the machinery chapter. The data on trade are useful for calculating trade balance, food balance sheet, food security and many other indicators. It can also yield useful information with regard to trends in people’s consumption patterns, the country’s production capacity and pointers for policy makers in relation to investment in agriculture and related industries.

Chapter 3: Population & Labour This chapter presents statistics on population and labour derived from the series of Annual Labour Force Surveys conducted by the Department of Employment and Human Resources, MoLHR. The statistics for 2017 and 2018 are derived from the Population and Housing Census of Bhutan 2017 (PHCB, 2017), 2018 Labour Force Survey Report, Population Projections of Bhutan 2017-2047 conducted by the National Statistical Bureau. Labour Force is defined as all those employed (including people above a specified age who, during the reference period, were in paid employment, at work, self-employed or with a job but not at work) and unemployed (including people above a specified age who, during the reference period, were without work, currently available for work and seeking work). The data on population and agricultural labour force aggregated by gender is of importance to the policy makers from food security viewpoint and for designing gender-based interventions in the farming sector.

Chapter 4: Land use

Land is one of the most important elements in agriculture and hence statistics on land and its use is of special interest to users. Detailed statistics on land cover and use was first published by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1997 (LUPP, 1994). According to LUPP (1994), the total agricultural land then was calculated as 784,565.86 acres. In 2010, the ministry conducted a more supposedly accurate assessment and an updated statistics and maps on land cover and use was published (LCMP, 2010). According to LCMP 2010, the total agricultural land was calculated as only 277,998.5 acres, which as a percentage comes to 2.9% of the total country’s land area. The latest available information on land cover is the Land Use and Land Cover 2016, published by the Department of Forests and Park Services in 2017 and the information and figures in this chapter is presented from LULC 2016. Further, information and figures from LCMP, 2010 is presented to give a sense of comparision between different land cover figures. Statistics on different government land programs such as land leasing, land substitution/exchange and private individuals’ land conversion, mainly from wetland to dryland category, are also presented.

Chapter 5: Machinery

Mechanisation of Bhutanese farming has been given importance since the 1980s and continues to this day. With the trend in young and able-bodied people seemingly leaving the rural farms in search of jobs in towns, the farms in the countryside face labour shortages and wages have steadily increased, driving the whole production prices up. Farm mechanization is therefore seen as one area that requires major focus. This chapter presents statistics on the number of different farm machineries imported into the country, pedestrian controlled tractors (popularly known as power-tillers) available for hire and so on. The major importer of farm machinery has been Agriculture Machinery Centre (AMC) under the MoAF since the 1980s. However, in recent years, a number of private bodies have also entered the scene and play an important role in mechanizing Bhutanese farms. Further in 2016, the government in a drive to speed up farm mechanization process has created Farm Machinery Corporation Limited (FMCL), a state-owned enterprise. The import, distribution, hiring and providing maintenance services of farm machineries is entrusted with the FMCL since 2016.

Chapter 6: Pesticides Pesticides are an important input in agriculture and therefore statistics on pesticide use is vital. Although Bhutan has pledged to become totally organic by 2020, the ground reality is otherwise. From the statistics over the years, one will notice a gradual increase in the quantity of pesticides imported and distributed. Bhutan wishes to become totally organic, at least in the future, but certainly the country is cognizant of the harmful effects of chemical pesticides and therefore stringent measures are put in place to control the import and use. No private players are allowed to import chemical pesticides due to fear that all kinds of dangerous and/or inferior quality chemicals may be imported. The import and distribution of plant protection chemicals is mandated to theNational Plant Protection Centre (NPPC), an agency under Department of Agriculture. This chapter presents information on the import of plant protection chemicals such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other plant protection chemicals from 2014 to 2018. Also, the year wise distribution of plant protection chemicals to various Dzongkhags is presented here. An important point to note to the users is that till 2013-2014, Butachlor was procured and distributed by National Seed Centre (NSC). From 2014-2015 onwards, the procurement and distribution of Butachlor has been handled by National Plant Protection Centre (NPPC). The volume of chemicals for 2014-2015 distributed by NPPC was relatively more compared to previous years.

Chapter 7: Fertilizers The use of chemical fertilizers is also highly regulated and it’s import and distribution is mandated to National Seed Centre (NSC) underDoA. Imported fertilizers are distributed to the farmers in the Dzongkhags through the NSC-designated commission agents. The price of the fertilizers is same throughout the country as the government bears the transportation charges. This chapter presents the statistics on import quantity and value of chemical fertilizers from 2014 to 2018 based on the data sourced from series of annual Bhutan Trade Statistics, published by the DRC, Ministry of Finance. The statistics gives an idea of the trend in the import of fertilizer and its use. Then we present data on fertilizer distributed to the Dzongkhags by NSC. The data sourced from the BTS are reporting based on calender year while NSC data is by financial year basis. Therefore, the figures may not be directly comparable.

Chapter 8: RNR Infrastructure The chapter presents statistics on various RNR infrastructures such as irrigation canals, farm roads, farm shops, electric fencing, marketing outlets, and plastic houses across the country. The construction of irrigation canals and farm roads are executed by AED of DoA and the Dzongkhags administrations. Hence, compilation of statistics on these infrastructures is quite challenging. Electric fencing is another important RNR infrastructure that is executed by several bodies such as NPPC under DoA, various functionaries under DoFPS, projects and even by some NGOs. Private individuals put electric fencing around their fields to protect from wild predation. Further, statisics on sales outlets, farmshops, poly houses are also presented in this chapter. The operation of sales outlets and farm shops are carried out by the DAMC and FCBL.

Chapter 9: Prices Price received by farmers for their produce is an important indicator for economic analysis and thefore, the chapter has been devoted to price statistics. Source of prices are from the auction price of commodities available from FCBL. Auction price is however not farm-gate price as farmers bear transportation cost from the villages to the auction yards. Prices for locally produced commodities sold at the Farmers’ Centennial Market in Thimphu, collected regularly by DAMC, are also presented to give an idea of the retail prices, which are often several times higher than the prices received by farmers. Price of the imported commodities are also presented to give further insight of the existing prices of the commodities which can help for conducting market analysis and research. Further, the chapter also presents price of the various agricultural inputs such as seeds and seedlings, pasture seeds and seedlings, plant protection chemicals, fertilizers and farm machineries distributed by different agencies.

Chapter 10: Forestry

Forestry statistics is presented in this chapter, as per the data structure and sequence as promulgated in the countrySTAT practice recommended by FAO. The data are compiled from the administrative records maintained by the various Territorial Forest Divisions, National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary offices.The requirement for private consumers are supposedly to be catered by the sawmillers while NRDCL is expected to service the timber demand for dzong construction, lhakhang construction, special projects and other government construction works such as hospital and schools. In addition, NRDCL also extracts and sells sand and boulders from the designated river banks and quarry sites. As disaster related statistics are also important indicators, statistics on forest fire incidences and acreage lost are presented in this chapter.

Chapter 12: RNR Gross Domestic Product

The contribution of the RNR sector to the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is presented in this sub-section, with the data sourced from the series of Annual Statistical Yearbook of Bhutan (SYB), published by the National Statistics Bureau (NSB). GDP is measured both in current and constant prices. The current price estimate reflects the monetary value of all goods and services produced in the economy at prices prevailing in the year of reporting, while the constant price estimate reflects the monetary value of all goods and services at the base year prices. The RNR sector continues to be the second largest contributor to national GDP. Figure 16 presents contribution of RNR sector to National GDP at current price. The RNR Sector’s contribution to the overall GDP has been increasing year-on-year in absolute terms. However, its percent share to the overall GDP remained constant during the last five years from 2012 to 2016. Figure 17 shows the percentage share of RNR sector to National GDP at current price.
