The department of Córdoba aims to become a national leader in beekeeping, supported by a ProMontería study. With 1.38 million hectares suitable for apiculture and an annual production of 400 tons, it targets specialized markets and value-added products, leveraging the global honey demand projected to reach USD 18.33 billion by 2034.

ProMontería's technical and economic study, "A Hive of Opportunities for New Markets: Beekeeping," analyzes global growth in the sector and Córdoba's potential to increase value-added production. The worldwide honey market could reach USD 18.33 billion by 2034, driven by demand for products with purity, quality, and traceability guarantees. This also creates opportunities for derivatives like mead, cosmetics, and medical-grade honey.
