A three days training on how to make vegetable drier was
provided to the farmers of Kikhorthang Gewog by National Post Harvesting Unit
(NPHU) based in Dagana.
Now, a total of 15 vegetable driers were constructed in the
gewog on cost sharing basis between the public and NPHU. Training and almost
all the materials were provided from NPHU except the local materials like sand,
wood, stone and labor contribution made from public .The total cost of each
machine is approximately Nu. 25,000(twenty five thousand) excluding labor and
local materials.
National Post Harvesting unit based in Dagana has constructed
64 driers and 27 stores in five dzongkhag
( Dagana, Gasa, Wangdue,Tsirang and Punakha) in the fiscal year
2014-2015.
The vegetable drier I have shown above is incomplete; the
complete machine will have a tray in between where we can put and dry
vegetables and other items like meat etc.
The temperature need to be set at 50 degree Celsius for meat
and 45 degree Celsius for vegetables. We require only 6 t 7 hours to dry
vegetables and 18 hours for meat.
The advantages of having vegetable driers are that farmers
will have hygienic dry vegetables and other food including meat. They require less
time to dry their vegetables and even during the summer season they can dry
their vegetables and other items as and when required.

Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Bhutan? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Bhutan in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
