Upper Rajang Kelulut Community Producers
community producer collective · stingless-bee honey producers
Kampung Tatai Mas Raweng and Kampung Selirik, Kapit, Sarawak, Malaysia
A collective label for participants in the High Impact Community Project (HICP) supporting sustainable kelulut, or stingless-bee, honey production and commercialisation in Kampung Tatai Mas Raweng and Kampung Selirik, Kapit, Sarawak. The programme includes 50 participants and is overseen by URDA. No separately registered producer business, shared retail brand, or individual member roster has been identified.
About the Producer
A little history
The collective is documented through a High Impact Community Project launched on November 6, 2025. The RM5.5 million, two-project HICP is funded by TERAJU, with RECODA as strategic partner, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) as implementing agency, and URDA overseeing participants. Fifty participants take part in the sustainable kelulut-honey production and commercialisation programme in Kampung Tatai Mas Raweng and Kampung Selirik.
How They Work
Beekeeping in practice
This community-based production and commercialisation programme includes 50 kelulut-honey participants overseen by URDA under the HICP. TERAJU funds the two-project initiative, RECODA is its strategic partner, and USM is the implementing agency. A planned Upper Rajang Honey Processing and Marketing Centre in Song is intended as a future hub for processing, marketing, training, and industry development. It should not be treated as the collective's current production address or as proof of any specific honey origin.

Song, Sarawak, Malaysia
Bernama reports the planned Upper Rajang Honey Processing and Marketing Centre in Song as a prospective processing, marketing, training, and industry-development hub. This is not evidence that honey is harvested in Song.
Upper Rajang Development Agency region, Sarawak, Malaysia
RECODA describes URDA's development area as encompassing Kanowit, Song, Kapit, Bukit Mabong, and Belaga. This is administrative/programme geography and should not be generalized into a honey-origin claim.

Practices
How they work
- The HICP honey programme is formally described as the production and commercialisation of “madu kelulut lestari” (sustainable stingless-bee honey). The descriptor is a programme claim; the source does not publish a farm-level sustainability protocol, certification, or audit record for the 50 participants.
- Upper Rajang community members participated in a RECODA-organised kelulut smart-farming study visit that included sustainable-farming instruction and honey production using the MUSTAFA-Hive. This documents training exposure among a 45-member Upper Rajang group in 2024, not confirmed adoption by every later HICP participant.
