No results found.The Biosecurity Policy of the Kingdom of Bhutan 2010 recognizes the importance of an integrated approach to maintaining Bhutan’s biosecurity. Therefore, it identifies the need to develop a Biosecurity Strategy to guide the implementation of further activities to enhance biosecurity and food safety. While a significant amount of work to improve biosecurity has been undertaken since 2010, there is a clear and urgent need for the Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) to develop a set of effective and prioritized, yet feasible, strategies and action plans to guide its activities over the next eight years. In order for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to assist BAFRA to develop a Biosecurity Strategy and Action Plan for the period 2021-2028, it is necessary to re-assess the current situation to understand the current capacity and practices, needs, gaps and opportunities. Following an internal survey of BAFRA officials in both head and field offices aimed at understanding their needs and priorities, FAO, together with a biosecurity expert, in collaboration with the BAFRA officers, conducted three video conference meetings for 1) livestock, 2) food and 3) plant sectors to understand the current situation in further detail so that a better strategy and relevant action plans can be proposed. This report sets out the key information obtained from the three virtual meetings, which used a mix of hypothetical and real scenarios to ask questions to the participants designed to obtain information about the current situation. -
