DR Congo Emphasizes Beekeeping for Sustainable Development Initiatives

The Democratic Republic of Congo has made significant strides in advancing its beekeeping sector by hosting its inaugural National Beekeeping Forum. This event, which took place in Kinshasa to celebrate World Bee Day 2026, gathered government officials, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and private sector representatives to discuss how honey production can enhance economic growth, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods. The forum aimed to transform the informal honey industry into a competitive, export-ready value chain, organized by the National Export Promotion Agency (ANAPEX) in collaboration with Green Community Mind (GRECOM).
