Sir.madam,
When I was looking for organic training I saw you are conducting organic training with possible on scholarship. I would be very much interested to participant on organic farming. Though Bhutan is a land lock country between Indian and China. At present agriculture development is growing fast to optimize yield production. Looking at this our government is trying to phase out by using of chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticide. In line with government strategy I am always looking for organic training institute to know how on organic vegetable production and fruit production.
Thanking you.
Dophu,
You need to reread the post. I do not offer jobs, you need to contact the farm that is actually offering this opportunity. Their info is in the post.
