Colombian apiculture sector development

Overview

Colombia is implementing various initiatives to strengthen its national apiculture sector through policy, welfare standards, and market development.

At the national level, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is drafting a public policy to promote sustainable growth and protect biodiversity. This draft is undergoing technical validation with the National Council of the Bee and Apiculture Productive Chain. Additionally, the company Zumbido Dorado in Casanare has become the first in the country to receive an ‘Excellent Welfare’ certification for the Apis mellifera species from the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA).

In the Barrancabermeja district of Santander, local authorities have developed a marketing strategy to address sector challenges such as low technical expertise and reliance on intermediaries. This regional strategy aims to improve competitiveness by focusing on territorial identity, quality, and traceability, while diversifying commercial channels through digital and regional platforms.
