G. SAFETY NETS

Product quality; applying international standards for local and imported produce.

Honey and pollen analysis. Pathological and chemical residue analysis. Self-monitoring and reporting among

various beekeeping organizations. Coordination of R&D institutions with concerned government agencies like BFAD, FNRI and DTI.


G. SAFETY NETS

Bees and equipment

Quarantine of imported queens and other bee species. Restrictions on source and importation of Apis spp. colonies Pathological tests on local colonies. Quarantine and certification for migratory colonies.

I. INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITIES

Market led

Climatic and geographical advantage

Prospects for pollination

Diversified bee products

High honey prices


I. INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITIES

High consumer preference for local honey and

other bee products

Manpower exportation of beekeepers

Ecotourism

III. INDUSTRY RISK

A. IMMEDIATE CONCERNS

Quality control of bees and bee products

Increase production

Security – quarantine, insurance, financing

R & D needs on genetic diversity, bee breeding, pollination and socio-economic constraints in technology adoption

Advocacy and legislation

Community development

III. INDUSTRY RISK

B. HIGH IMPACT THREATS

Critical pests and diseases

Further decrease in access to native flora resources

IV. THE BEE INDUSTRY ROADMAP

A. VISION

“A profitable bee industry that supports agriculture, forestry and biodiversity conservation and capable of supplying quality bees and bee products to local and foreign markets”


B. MISSION

“To provide a collaborative forum for industry, funding agencies, and RD and E providers to lead research, innovation and adoption to benefit the Philippine bee industry”


C. GOALS Strengthen the multi-disciplinary RDE programs

Training and capacity development

Support enterprise development

Integrate apiculture in the farming systems

Conserve and manage indigenous bee species

Institutionalize policies on importation and quarantine


D. OBJECTIVES Establish regional centers for beekeeping, accredit

one service laboratory for each region

Generate R&D apiculture technologies

Promote standardization of bee products

Develop and strengthen policies to promote organic agriculture by integrating apicultural technologies

Promote apitourism

Establish information hub for DA-HVCDP


E. TARGETS Continuous supply of quality queen bees and bee

stocks

Increased production of quality bees and bee products

Strict quarantine of imported queen bees and bee products


E. TARGETS Designation of bee inspectors per region

Available channels for financing of industry and research needs

Development of human resource for R&D in beekeeping and for entrepreneurial income generating endeavor


F. STRATEGIES

Major Strategies Key Institutions
