The Sidama Development Association, in partnership with the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), has launched a modern honey production initiative in the Wondogenet District, Wosha Soyama Kebele.
As part of this project, the association has:
– Organized beekeeping cooperatives and provided capacity-building training to members.
– Supplied modern beehives, honey extractors, filtering and packaging machines, filling equipment, and honey storage materials (including branding tools).
– Ensured all pre-production preparations are completed, enabling the cooperatives to begin high-quality honey production in a modernized and efficient manner.
This initiative aims to enhance local honey production, improve product quality, and create sustainable income opportunities for beekeepers in the Sidama region.
The project marks another step in the Sidama Development Association’s commitment to economic empowerment and agricultural innovation, supported by TIKA’s expertise in development cooperation.
Production has officially begun, with honey now being harvested and processed using advanced techniques to meet market standards.
