Roselyn Kasunda, a young and ambitious agripreneur, is passionate about promoting bee farming as a viable and profitable business venture for Malawi’s youth. As the CEO of Peculiar Honey Bee Products, Kasunda has firsthand experience of the benefits and opportunities that bee farming presents.
Kasunda’s enthusiasm for bee farming is contagious, and she is eager to share her knowledge and expertise with others. She emphasizes that bee farming is not only a lucrative business but also plays a critical role in preserving the environment and maintaining ecosystem balance. By promoting bee farming, Kasunda hopes to inspire a new generation of young entrepreneurs to take up this sustainable and rewarding venture.
One of the significant advantages of bee farming, according to Kasunda, is that it requires minimal land and resources, making it an ideal venture for small-scale farmers or individuals with limited means. This accessibility factor, combined with the high demand for bee products in the local market, makes bee farming an attractive business opportunity.
Kasunda’s own bee farm in Lilongwe is a testament to the success of bee farming in Malawi. Her farm produces a range of products, including honey, beeswax candles, and pollinated seeds, which are in high demand. By sharing her experiences and expertise, Kasunda hopes to empower other young people to follow in her footsteps and explore the opportunities that bee farming presents.
