ApiTrade Africa at the Apimondia Congress 2011

ApiTrade Africa will host honey and beeswax processors and exporters from African countries under One African Pavilion at the forthcoming global 42 nd Apimondia Expo in Argentina in September (see page 16). This resolution was agreed during ApiTrade Africa’s AGM held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in March. Within the One African Pavilion, we expect product displays from Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The Apimondia Congress will provide a platform to showcase Africa’s unique bee products, expand business linkages and influence global issues which affect smallholder African beekeepers. The Congress also provides an ideal opportunity for skill and knowledge transfer for African stakeholders. ApiTrade Africa will publicise ApiExpo Africa 2012, a continental promotional event for African beekeepers and honey traders, scheduled for September 2012 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
