    ARMENIAN HONEY TO BE EXPORTED TO US AND UAE THIS YEAR

    YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. Last year, a 25-ton consignement of
    honey was for the first time sent from Armenia to Sweden and the US,
    while this year it is planned to export the product to the United Arab
    Emirates (UAE) as well.

    The RA Minister of Agriculture David Lokian stated this at the first
    conference of the National Federation of Bee-Keepers of Armenia on
    March 31. According to D. Lokian, bee-keeping is developed in the
    mountainous and foothill marzes where 1,000-1,500 tons of honey is
    produced every year. The minister said the bee-keeping is currently
    undergoing development in the country - there are over 10 big
    bee-keeping farms with more than 200 beehives. According to the USAID
    SME Market Development Program's Director Gary Kilmer, in addition to
    using the potential existing, it is necessary to introduce efficient
    technologies of honey production in order to develop the bee-keeping.

    The National Federation of Bee-Keepers of Armenia was founded in 2004
    and includes the unions of bee-keepers from 8 marzes.
