Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) has successfully concluded the European CLUSTER Programme in Innovative and Sustainable Agricultural Sectors, a project generously funded by the European Union through the ENI CBC Mediterranean Basin cross-border programme.

Among the many activities of the MedBEESinessHubs project was the development of the MedBEESinessHubs Honey Eco Routes.

After our bee entrepreneurs received the skills and financial means to develop and upgrade their enterprise, we then trained them how to make the most out of their business through the diversification of their operations, by turning their BEEsiness into a sustainable visiting point of interest too.

CLUSTER partner Business Women Forum, based in Ramallah shares the project's training phases in Palestine. Through the project, the participants were provided with training on food manufacturing; including both the practical and theoretical basics of production. The onsite trainig took place from 18th of June until the 30th of July and hosted a total of 19 trainees, while the internship phase was conducted from the 13th of August to the 20th of September and benefitted 10 trainees.
