However, the lack of potential market for honey is one of the main challenges the beekeepers have been facing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Mubariz, a beekeeper in Faizabad city of Badakhshan said their beekeeping farm yields 2100 kg honey per year, but due to the lack of a market for the sale, their profit margin is substantially low.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">According to him, the lack of supplies for beekeeping and lack of government support has led them to purchase a large portion of the beekeeping equipment from Pakistan on their own budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Meanwhile, beekeepers in Badakhshan told Salam Watandar that importing the low-quality honey into Badakhshan&rsquo;s market has caused their prices to decline due to the purchasing power of the customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Mohammad Alam Alemi, head of Directorate of Agriculture in this province said the local government is planning to train the beekeepers in packaging and creating a logo showing the product of Badakhshan so that the customers purchase with confidence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;Alemi added that plans are underway to market Badakhshan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Honey&rdquo;, including the launch of several exhibitions and creating a proper marketing strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">ENDS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, the residents of Badakhshan province have developed an interest in bee-keeping, establishing bee-keeping farms across the province. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-78126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
