Current status of honey productıon ın Azerbaıjan

Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic affected the beekeeping industry by logistics chains, creating reducing honey production and breaking difficulties in seasonal job activities in the hives and the transportation of beekeeping products, and decreasing the information base related to beekeeping. Yet, the demand for honey as a healthy natural product at the pandemic level has increased considerably. Although Azerbaijan has natural and climatic conditions, it is far behind among world honey-producing countries. The paper discusses the certainty of conducting in-depth research to develop the beekeeping sector, considering it a strategic field. It explores the importance of the beekeeping development project implementation by applying a program that combines planned complex measurements through a systematic approach to short-term and long-term existing concrete problem-solving goals in this field.
