After attending a beekeeping training conducted by FAO, Hassan Muhumed Abdilaahi now produces over 2,000 kilograms of honey each year, up from the 30 kilograms he produced in 2013. Beekeeping has been traditionally looked down upon in Somalia, mostly due to the lack of knowledge. Sixty percent of the population relies directly or indirectly on livestock activities. However, most people are unaware that beekeeping and processing hive products can be just as lucrative. “People perceive beekeeping as an unprofitable business,” said Hassan. “I know as a matter of fact that beekeeping is profitable.” In addition to keeping bees, Hassan now delivers trainings to pass on his wealth of knowledge.
