Beekeeping is one of the most profitable agricultural activities in Georgia. The development of bee keeping and honey production is therefore one of the important livelihoods, especially in remote areas of the country. The project therefore aims to increase the productivity of beekeeping in Georgia by introducing new efficient procedures and good production practices. The project includes strengthening beekeepers’ awareness of modern bee keeping methods and bee health care, as well as strengthening beekeepers’ business knowledge and financial literacy. The focus is on promoting innovative practices and value chain organisation, including the processing and marketing of bee products. Another important step is to strengthen the credibility and performance of Georgian laboratories.
