Nature’s Nectar distributes locally produced Kenyan top bar beehives to rural farmers in NW Zambia. These hives are long-lasting and help to protect local trees as well as the bees themselves through sustainable production and harvesting methods. Nature’s Nectar is then the sole and guaranteed buyer of all honey coming from these hives, which we then process and export.

Problem in this region :

– Lack of access to any type of financing to buy new crops or goods for sale

– Very little infrastructure in place to enable farmers to develop in commercial production

– Poor education and little availability to acquire new skills and training

– Farmers live in isolated communities without cellular networks or banks.

The main consequences are:

– Continuous cycles of poverty, with families investing less and less each generation in education and skills.

– High malnutrition rates and low life expectancy

– Zambia’s economy relies almost exclusively on a few local food products and copper, with a massive lack of diversity.

– Relatively no access to external funding or very costly funding to reach the banks / financial institutions to receive any form of capital
