Apiary in Rwanda Receives a Boost from Singapore

19 October 2015

A company from Singapore-Apiary Singapore has injected RW 3 Million to boost honey production and quality in Rwanda. The company is working with 12 bee keeping co-operatives in a deal that was signed in 2015. According the State Minister of Agriculture in Rwanda, the country is yet to exploit its potential to commercialize bee keeping saying that bee farmers needed to improve on their apiary practice to tap the hug Asian export market. This is all amidst complaints by bee farmers that some of the challenges constraining their efforts to increase honey production is lack of proper equipment and death of bees from ingesting pollen from nectar laced harmful agro-chemicals.
