[ 06 ]$_COUNTRY BRIEF · shortage posture

Bhutan generates a large surplus of hydroelectricity from its Himalayan rivers, which it exports to India as its principal source of revenue, yet it imports every drop of liquid fuel. Landlocked and mountainous, it depends entirely on India for fuel and much of its food.
