Industrial compliance in focus: Bhutan’s Department of Industry inspected 154 industrial and delegated activities in 2025–26, with checks on environmental management, pollution control, and waste systems—showing stronger oversight as industrial parks expand. Food security pressure: Bhutan’s cultivated area is shrinking, with reports that thousands of hectares have gone out of production, widening the gap between food self-reliance goals and available farmland. Agri-processing demand signal: In Monggar, farmers are shifting toward fruit farming because Bhutan Agro Industries Limited buys harvests for processing into juice and pickles, offering stable pricing and a premium for organic produce. Regional trade & connectivity: A feasibility study for the proposed Bokajuli Industrial Park in eastern Bhutan has concluded viability, positioning it near the Assam border to boost industrial diversification and cross-border logistics. Tourism momentum: Bhutan recorded 25,195 international tourist arrivals in June, up sharply year-on-year, with average stays of 5.76 days.
