This is the first report of commercial asparagus production in Sandrup Jongkhar. Asparagus is a long-term investment for farmers, but the vegetable group of Orong has taken up the challenge of commercializing this rare, but valuable crop. Yield and economic impact assessments are still a few years away, but overall the asparagus appears to have found a permanent home in the gewog. Some farmers are even preparing to save and distribute seed to increase future acreage. This pilot impact study will not only help the farmers of Orong’s vegetable group, but will supplement the nutritional program of Orong’s primary school, and in time, will be made available across regional markets.
