Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) in collaboration with Shah Farms-Karachi organized a series of training programs on honey bee keeping, processing, packaging and marketing of honey.
Though Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has wide variety of honey flora, large number of apiaries, but due conventional extraction practices neither the quality nor the quantity is up to the international best standard.
In order to tape the potential of this sector, there is a need to build the capacity of the apiarists, processors, and honey traders. For the purpose, the SMEDA, KP and Shah Farms-Karachi collaborated for two training programs at the district Karak, KP.
