DESIGN NORMS AND STANDARDS AND FACILITATE STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE FOR ADOPTION MAY 2015.

SNV Zambia is implementing the TIPEC-ZAS project on behalf of the government of the Republic of Zambia. The project seeks to enhance the competitiveness of the apiculture sector through improved entrepreneurship, increased productivity, increased market access and integration of smallholders in the supply chain. Increased market access demands for institutionalised Norms and Standards that will be implemented for Honey and other bee products. What this entails is that honey traded all over should be of the same accepted standards that have been agreed upon. This move will promote consumer satisfaction and product quality as the consumers will be assured that the product they purchase meets the acceptable standards. Therefore, the project wishes to facilitate the development and adoption of norms and standards for the Zambian Apiculture sector, building upon the recommendation of previous feasibility study on honey products norms and standards.
