Mission: Transforming Bangladesh's honey industry through innovative technology, sustainable practices, and community empowerment, especially women in rural areas.

​

The Problem

1. Low-Quality Production: 90% of honey is substandard due to old hive designs and high moisture (22–27%).

2. Contamination: Rust from iron tools reduces honey’s market value.

3. Limited Access: Rural farmers lack modern tools and training, especially women.

4. Unstructured Market: No quality-focused supply chain in Bangladesh’s 1,500 crore BDT honey market.
