Government of PakistanPresident stresses need for strengthening beekeeping sector

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Dr. Arif Alvi has underlined the need for strengthening and facilitating the beekeeping sector of the Country as it has great potential to generate employment opportunities and earn foreign exchange.

The minister highlighted the steps taken for improving the honey-bee sector, eco-system and creating skill development opportunities for youth to engage them in economic activity.

Appreciating the initiative taken by the Ministry of Climate Change, the president expressed the hope that plantation, under TBTTP, would not only boost the beekeeping sector but would also help in producing high quality of honey.
