A prominent Congolese apiculturist, Léon Masumbuko, has urged his fellow apiculturists in the Democratic Republic of Congo to boost their honey production. Masumbuko, who is also a coach and expert in apiculture, made the call during a recent meeting with the Congolese press agency, ACP. He emphasized the need for Congolese apiculturists to increase their production levels, citing the success of other livestock sectors in the country.
Masumbuko expressed his concerns about the current state of apiculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo, noting that the sector has been neglected despite its vast potential. As the first Congolese to introduce apiculture courses at a university in the country, he feels frustrated that the sector has not received the attention it deserves. He hopes to see a significant increase in honey production, citing examples of other countries where apiculturists produce over 300 tonnes of honey.
The apiculturist's call to action aims to promote the value of the apiculture sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He also plans to encourage incubators to participate in the development of apiculture in the country. Masumbuko's goal is to see Congolese apiculturists produce high-quality honey and increase their production levels significantly. He believes that with the right support and investment, the sector can grow and contribute to the country's economy.
Masumbuko's comments have sparked a renewed interest in apiculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He challenged Congolese apiculturists to aim higher, asking, "What Congolese apiculturist has already reached 20 tonnes of honey at harvest?" His patriotic sentiments and expertise in the field have earned him credibility, and his message is expected to resonate with apiculturists and entrepreneurs in the sector.
The current state of apiculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo is characterized by low production levels. Masumbuko's call for increased production is seen as a timely intervention, aimed at unlocking the sector's potential. With the right support and investment, apiculturists in the country may be able to increase their production levels and contribute to the country's economy.
Apiculture is a sector that offers many opportunities for growth and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The country's natural resources and climate make it an ideal place for beekeeping and honey production. However, the sector has been neglected for far too long, and it is time for apiculturists and entrepreneurs to take action to develop it.
The Congolese press agency, ACP, has taken note of Masumbuko's call to action and is expected to provide support to apiculturists in the country. The agency's efforts, combined with Masumbuko's expertise and enthusiasm, may help to promote the development of apiculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo and increase honey production levels in the country.
