Nagaland
Beekeepers in Mima Village, Nagaland were getting poor quality honey because of a crude and unhygienic bee-rearing technique that involved using wooden boxes. Under NABARD’s Rural Innovation Fund (RIF), a modern honey processing unit was built and 60 traditional beekeepers were trained to operate it. This resulted in an increase in the production capacity as well as the market value of Mima’s organic honey.
