Diversifying the Apiculture Industry in Saint Lucia
This PG will help to determine the probability of establishing a national residual monitoring plan as the basis for further developing the national apiculture industry as an exporter of apicultural products to the EU. The project will identify new plant species that are more resistant to the impacts of CC and that can be used for bee forage; determine the possibility of developing an Apitourism Industry in Saint Lucia; explore the probabilities of attaining HACCP certification of the group?s honey processing facility and laboratory; and setting the stage of harvesting Apitoxin for export. We expect a FG project proposal to emerge out of this project.

Policy Influence
At the PG stage the project set our to determine whether or not Saint Lucian honey meets EU import chemical standards. This was proven and we now expect that during the FG phase the basis for a national residual monitoring system will be established, at which time, national policy will be influenced.
