Quintana Roo Gov. Roberto Borge Angulo announced on Wednesday that the state government will spend 19 million pesos ($1.5 million) from the Equipment and Infrastructure Investment Support Program to aid 450 honey producers in the Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Othón P. Blanco, Bacalar and José María Morelos municipalities in 2014.

According to Borge Angulo, this program will allow the state’s beekeepers to modernize their activities through the purchase of stainless steel beehive boxes, smokers and honey extractors, allowing them to produce the highest-quality honey.

Beekeepers will also be provided with advisors who will ensure that their honey has commercial quality and is free of contaminants.

The state government will continue to provide resources to support the honey producers of Quintana Roo, Borge Angulo added, allowing them to grow their businesses and modernize their beekeeping techniques and thus obtain bigger profits.

Quintana Roo Rural Development Secretary Luis González Flores said that the state’s honey is the best in all of Mexico, which is why it’s important to support the modernization of this industry in order to obtain a competitive advantage on the world market.
