IFC worked with the beekeeping sector to help it comply with EU trade rules. Honey exports reached a record amid improved testing and more training.
Growing up in a family of beekeepers, Givi Ninidze, a 40-year-old ophthalmologist, was raised with bees. So it was no surprise when in 2004, the successful doctor took over his family's apiary and honey processing facility. Ninidze's company now produces several varieties of wild, natural floral honey that are likely to find a market in Europe with the help of IFC.
