To promote beekeeping and bring transparency to honey production, the central government has developed the Madhukranti portal. This portal has been created under the National Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM) to provide a digital platform for beekeepers and other stakeholders.

The Madhukranti Portal is a significant step towards the digitization of the beekeeping industry in India. It will not only increase honey production but also strengthen the economic condition of farmers and beekeepers. Let’s take a look at what the Madhukranti Portal is all about.

Government Initiatives and Objectives

The government launched the National Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM) under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan to promote beekeeping, increase farmers’ income, and make India’s honey industry globally competitive. Under this mission, beekeepers receive financial assistance, technical training, and modern equipment.

Features of the Madhukranti Portal

  • A digital platform for beekeepers, honey producers, traders, and other stakeholders to register.
  • Helps in collecting and monitoring data related to beekeeping across the country.
  • Provides information on beekeeping benefits, government schemes, grants, and training programs.
  • Allows beekeepers to sell honey directly to consumers and traders, reducing middlemen.
  • Assists in testing and certifying honey quality, increasing its credibility in the market.

Importance of Beekeeping and Honey Production

Beekeeping is crucial not only for honey production but also for crop pollination. It helps increase agricultural yield, benefiting farmers financially. India is one of the largest honey-producing countries, with a rapidly growing demand for its honey in the global market.
