Increasing demand for honey, time to attend to beekeeping industry

Image
In spite of Ghana having one of the best climatic conditions suitable for beekeeping and honey production, the country imports more than 600 tonnes of honey worth millions of cedis every month. Data from the Federation of Ghana Bee Keepers Association (FGBA) showed that although about 70 per cent of the country's vegetation supported beekeeping, more than 60 per cent of honey consumed or for manufacturing purposes were sourced from foreign markets, including Burkina Faso. According to the federation, the situation was mainly attributable to the increasing demand for honey on the local market and failure on the part of local producers to match the demand. It attributed the failure to the lack of adequate resources and inputs at the disposal of local industry players, owing to the absence of credit schemes and policy direction to propel them to produce in commercial quantities.

Over the past decade, the government has initiated at least five separate strategic policies and programmes targeted at building the capacities of local poultry farms to meet the country’s increasing demand for poultry products.

CHOKED DRAINS CAUSES SPILLAGE OF WASTE WATER ON KANESHIE-ODORKOR ROAD

Image
THE blockage of drains on the Kaneshie-Odokor-Malam stretch, largely due to the irresponsible disposal of waste into them has resulted in a heavy spillage of waste water onto the outer lanes of the road. The underground drains stretching between the Darkuman junction and the Odorkor traffic light had been clogged with silt, hence, forcing the running water to gush out from the various silt-traps chambers onto the dual carriage. To compound to problem, an unpleasant stench emanated from the spilled water, a situation which exposed motorists and pedestrians to lung-related ailments and other discomforts. The problem has been identified as a root cause to the perennial flooding of the area. The problem The dual carriage has an in-built single cell pipe culvert of 1.2 meters. It consists of chambers constructed at every 30-50 meters to serve as entry points for smaller drains usually connected from homes, offices, and other sources. As part of mechanisms ...
