Home > Events > Opening Ceremony of the National Council of Bhutan
The opening of the 26th Session of the National Council began with a Marchang Ceremony, followed by an opening remark by the Honโ€™ble Chairperson.
Apart from the follow-up reports on the Resolution of the 24th session, the House also deliberated on the Review Report on RNR Marketing Policy presented by the Natural Resources and Environment Committee.
Cordially welcoming the members, media and viewers of the National Council Session, the Honโ€™ble Chairperson informed that the Session is scheduled from 27th November to 14th December 2020. He also informed the House that the current Session will deliberate on four legislative issues, two amendments of Acts, one policy review, two disputed bills in the joint sitting and three annual reports including the State of the Nation report.
The Economic Affairs Committee reported to the House, the responses received from relevant agencies regarding the policies related to vehicle imports. The responses pertained to the resolutions of improving coordination of transport sector; addressing issues arising from vehicular congestion in the urban areas and improving public transport in the growing towns and across the country.
The Social and Culture Affairs Committee highlighted the responses received regarding the review of legislation and strategies for addressing human trafficking. The responses were with regard to the resolutions of developing legislation and policies, and strengthening efforts towards human trafficking; conducting sensitization and awareness programmes; creating trafficking in persons emergency helpline and employment.
The Good Governance Committee reported to the House the responses received on the review of the programme initiative towards improving the quality of education. The responses were regarding the resolutions of expediting the expansion and coverage of ECCD programmes; ensuring adequate financial support to primary schools; revisiting the current practice of school ranking system; ensuring adequate provision of facilities and tools for effective implementation of any new or revised curriculum, and reviewing the roles of Royal Education Council (REC) Teacher Professional Support Division (TPSD).
While the respective committees expressed their satisfaction for the responses and actions taken on the resolutions, some Members reported that there are some recommendations that require further inquiries. The House directed the Committees to work on and seek further clarification from the concerned authorities with written questions.
The Natural Resources and Environment Committee presented the Review Report on RNR Marketing Policy to the House. The RNR Marketing Policy of Bhutan was adopted in 2018 to facilitate the transformation of current subsistence farming into commercial farming.
Though RNR marketing policy was in place and the implementation was ongoing, certain challenges impeded the operation and performance of RNR sector in terms of marketing of products.
The report consisted of four major areas for the implementation of the policy: institutional framework; market infrastructure; market support; and market information.
The following were the recommendations proposed by the Committee:
  • The Ministry has to make the Multi-Sectoral Committee (MSC) functional for the effective implementation of the RNR Marketing Policy so that the marketing system is put in place by coordinating and harmonizing the approaches of all involved stakeholders. MSC has to seriously work to address the pertinent issues like reducing the huge gap between the import and production of tomatoes and onions, increasing the yield and reducing the import quantity of apples and oranges, substituting the import of those fruits that are never exported, reducing the price difference between import and export price of apples, shelled betel nuts and ginger.
  • To improve the distribution of fresh and quality products within the country and export, there is a need to establish smaller capacity cold stores at strategic locations facilitated by refrigerated vans and establish other low-cost farm level stores as many as possible.
  • There is a need to establish mechanisms among the stakeholders for discussing the findings of market studies and adoption of technically feasible processed products especially enhancing stronger collaboration between National Post Harvest Centre and Department of Agriculture Marketing and Cooperatives. Also, the Government has to continuously support the existing financial schemes with sufficient budget and good public awareness. Further, CSI bank has to upload the disqualification of loan application criteria on the website and need to work for providing the technical recommendation letters from the respective department electronically.
  • To have better information, it is good to incorporate the estimated quantity of products required per market in the Agriculture Market Information System (AMIS) and also display it on TV screens in the Market. If possible, the estimated quantity, location of the products and cost of production needed to be incorporated in AMIS. Further public awareness on AMIS has to be carried out.
Focusing on the findings and recommendations of the Committee, the Honโ€™ble Members suggested additional recommendations for consideration and sought clarification on the report.
The Chairperson directed the Committee to review the recommendations taking into consideration the issues proposed by the members consulting the relevant members.
