(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. The UN
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with the
Association of Women Farmers of Uzbekistan and the Tashkent State
Agrarian University, has organized training sessions to develop
beekeeping skills for rural residents in Uzbekistan's Kasansay and
Yangikurgan districts of Namangan region, as well as the Markhamat
district of Andijan region, trend reports.
These training events are part of the "Joint
Prosperity through Cooperation in Border Regions of Kyrgyzstan and
Uzbekistan" project. According to the project team, enhancing the
potential of beekeepers will contribute to increased productivity
and income for residents in the project areas, while also providing
potential opportunities for collaboration in border regions.
The training sessions took place on June 14-15 in
Namangan, and further sessions are scheduled for June 17 in
Andijan. Approximately 100 participants, selected from socially
vulnerable segments of the population in the project areas,
attended the training.
During the FAO-organized beekeeping training,
participants gained basic knowledge in beekeeping practices and
learned about modern approaches to bee breeding. These skills will
enable them to expand their apiaries and increase their income in
the future.
Overall, FAO has been actively involved in the
development of beekeeping in Uzbekistan. For instance, within
another FAO project, "Supporting Sustainable Development of
Beekeeping," implemented in Uzbekistan from 2019 to 2021, an
Innovative Information Exchange System for beekeepers was created.
This mobile application provides users with real-time access to all
the necessary educational and statistical information for
beekeeping activities.
