OUR TEAM

BEEKEEPING Institutions and private beekeepers throughout the country manage hives in

sustainable environments within the company’s forest plantations, a certified ideal environment for this activity thanks to the flowering period of Eucalyptus . All beekeepers harvesting honey in the company’s fields must abide by the Good Beekeeping Practices instituted by the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MAGAP). By professionalising the sector, beekeepers can maximise the use of potential productive areas and increase productivity. This work method aims to drive community development and strengthen local institutions through active participation in the production of bee derived products. These same institutions are responsible for managing and allocating hive locations in UPM Forestal Oriental forests.
