The analysis relies primarily on Enterprise Survey conducted in 2015, supplemented by extensive literature reviews and fieldwork. Several overarching conclusions emerge: (i) public sector institutions supporting agribusiness have the opportunity to refine their incentive structures for greater impact on the growth and development of Bhutan's private agribusinesses; (ii) Bhutan is already endowed with the agro-climatic conditions and technical capacity to produce and market several agricultural products, providing the RGoB with the opportunity to increase agribusiness export volumes and value; (iii) although Bhutan has policies in place to promote both domestic and foreign direct investment (FDI), the RGoB has additional opportunities for spurring greater investment and innovation in agribusiness; and (iv) while the agribusiness sector has experienced significant gains in access to finance, more can be done in the banking sector to support marketing, processing, and exporting agri-food products. 2017-10-18T20:50:28Z 2017-10-18T20:50:28Z 2017-01 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/322451506624385502/Increasing-Agribusiness-Growth-in-Bhutan http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28538 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note South Asia Bhutan
