Earlier Report Observations

The fresh pea market in Bhutan saw a contraction in overall volume from 877 t in 2018 to 612 t in 2023. This was primarily driven by a sharp decline in domestic production, which fell from 837 t to 333 t over the same period. Import volumes became increasingly significant, rising from 87 t in 2018 to a peak of 306 t in 2022, partially offsetting the reduction in local output.

During this timeframe, the agricultural sector's data infrastructure was strengthened. The 2021 Agriculture Survey Report provided detailed, dzongkhag-level production data for peas, and the comprehensive 2023 Integrated Agriculture and Livestock Census delivered an enhanced evidence base for market analysis, supporting more informed oversight of the supply chain.

Trade patterns shifted considerably as the market adjusted. Pea exports, which stood at 47 t in 2018, dwindled to negligible levels by 2024. Imports remained volatile, dropping to 182 t in 2024 before increasing again to 240 t in 2025, reflecting ongoing changes in supply dynamics.
