The development of beekeeping in Bashkortostan requires cooperation and epizootic well-being

Consolidated business building, as evidenced by world practice, is a norm that requires implementation by beekeepers of the republic. This was stated by the director of the State Budgetary Institution "Center for Agricultural Consulting of the Republic of Bashkortostan" Irik Sakaev at a regional seminar-meeting for beekeepers of the republic, held on May 12 in the village of Nizhniye Lemezy, Iglinsky district of Bashkortostan.
His report on the types of state support for the beekeeping industry aroused great interest among the participants of the round table, where they discussed the mechanisms for the development of beekeeping and the regulation of economic activity.
According to Irik Sakaev, most of the beekeepers, both in the region and in Russia as a whole, historically carry out their activities as individuals, meanwhile, state support measures imply the existence of cooperation. In accordance with world practice, it is possible to unite efforts in this area not so much in order to keep bees and take care of them, but for the needs of business. “There are three main areas of cooperation - this is, first, an increase in volumes. Entering new markets, exporting - everywhere you need a good amount of production. Naturally, it will not mean anything without confirmed quality, because a fly in the ointment, as you know, can ruin the entire container. And the third direction is the provision of services to each other. And by helping, you can increase volumes and develop your business,” concluded Irik Sakaev.
Also, the director of the State Budgetary Institution "Center for Agricultural Consulting of the Republic of Bashkortostan" dwelled on the peculiarities of participation in "Agrostartups" and other practical issues.
Azat Ziganshin, Head of the Veterinary Department of the Republic of Bashkortostan, noted the high importance of the event. His speech was devoted to the problems of maintaining the veterinary well-being of the Bashkir villages, in this case in the beekeeping industry.
“If there is a suspicion of some kind of bee disease, do not hide it, contact us at any time. Only by joint efforts, with mutual understanding, can we ensure the stability of our republic in the field of epizootic well-being, because without its support it is not possible to develop beekeeping in general. After all, what is a disease? It's a fire that destroys everything. Both the disease and the fire must be “put out” faster in order to minimize losses. Therefore, by joint efforts we can ensure the development of our beekeeping,” Azat Ziganshin emphasized.
In turn, the head of the Department of Rosselkhoznadzorin the Republic of Bashkortostan, Vakil Buranbaev spoke about ensuring the food security of the region and, in particular, about determining the quality of honey. In addition, at this round table, beekeepers were provided with up-to-date information on the procedure and rules for registering forest plots for apiaries, as well as agricultural land.
