Honey production declines in Pomeroon

May 29, 2010 News

Honey production in the Pomeroon River area needs immediate intervention from the Ministry of Agriculture, says Sydney Garraway.
The business which once offered a hefty financial income for many Pomeroon residents, has to date lapsed to nothingness.
Until recently, Pomeroon beekeepers were exporting about 600 gallons of pure honey to Georgetown weekly.
Mr. Garraway said that for honey production to become successful again it would need both financial and advisory assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture.
The farmer asserted that the honey producers in the Pomeroon need to be exposed to additional seminars and workshops in the knowledge of honey production. He argues that honey producers should also be educated in the comprehensive theory in the production of honey, especially in the extraction of honey, and the proper clothing farmers should be attired in.
Garraway stressed that there are miles of Mangrove (called courida) and coconut cultivations, all of which propelled the honey industry in the mid 80’s to a very high production.
He further noted that the honey produced in Guyana has less moisture, compared to those imported.
The founding farmers of the industry in Pomeroon are Craigwell Joseph de Santos, William Duke, Fred Garraway and Emanuel Gonzales.
