Abstract
There is a potential for further farm mechanization in Bhutan with immediate attention given to paddy. There is also mechanization potential for other root and cash crops like potatoes, oranges and apples. It can be said that there is a need for exploration of existing technology that would be beneficial to the country’s need. Although, strong support from a Japanese grant (2KR) has existed for almost more than 20 years there continues to be a need for further studies to adapt the available technology for Bhutanese farmers.
