Major new market opened for Kyrgyz honey
Honey production is a significant industry in the Ferghana Valley. Unfortunately, most production is small-scale, conducted by individual beekeepers with a few hives. Therefore, when Lancaster International Trading Company from Denver USA wanted to purchase 20,000 lbs of honey, USAID Trade Facilitation and Investment Project (TFI) and Enterprise Development Project (EDP) were needed to help producers meet the international requirements. This huge export opportunity represented a great opportunity for an industry that has already benefited greatly from TFI's regulatory reform and EDP's consulting services.
