At HoAB, horticulture is more than just agriculture, it is a way of life. It sustains livelihoods, protects the environment, enhances food security, and strengthens Bhutan’s economy. From smallholder farmers and cooperatives to passionate gardeners and young agripreneurs, horticulture connects people to the land, and to one another.

Our vision is rooted in purpose: to promote sustainable horticulture in Bhutan by empowering local communities, fostering innovation, and delivering practical, on-the-ground solutions. Through capacity building, research, policy advocacy, and grassroots engagement, we are committed to nurturing a greener, healthier, and more resilient Bhutan.

• To our members: your dedication forms the foundation of everything we do.

• To our visitors: we invite you to explore, connect, and become part of this transformative journey.

As we move forward, HoAB remains focused on expanding inclusive opportunities, building strategic partnerships, and implementing programs that create real value for our members and society. Together, we can cultivate a future rooted in resilience, innovation, and shared prosperity.
