Implementation of NAMC Recommendations

Preamble by SABIO Chairman, John Moodie

A Section 7 Committee investigation into the SA Bee Industry was done during 2007–2008.  The purpose was to establish the functioning of the Industry and its role in the Agricultural environment in the Country.  It was commissioned by the NAMC using selected  different role-players from SABIO, ARC, Retailers, Commercial Beekeepers, Associations and Bottlers.  The investigation led to a report with recommendations for the Industry and this was formally accepted by the Minister of Agriculture in April 2010.

At the outset I need to say that many who may be opposed to some of the recommendations listed in the NAMC Report, may actually be objecting for exactly the same reasons that I initially asked for a Section 7 analysis of the industry.  The motivation for this report was that there were areas in our industry that needed revision.  The report was compiled by a wide range of representatives in the industry and has resulted in a thorough investigation of the strengths and weaknesses we face.  SABIO’s intention is to revise the Industry in such a way that it is sustainable and able to serve its members more efficiently than it has been able to do in the past.  The outbreak of AFB and the need for a better funding base are all reasons for a revision of the Beekeeping Industry.

Honey newsletter second edition

Apologies for the delay in this newsletter - the seasonal holidays and work got in the way a bit. There are some articles that were sent in late that I will put in the next edition.

I have managed to download the newsletter from our shared website at USDA from here in Nepal to send onwards. It is rather large because of the pile of photos in it.
