About the Producer
A little history
Beekeeping began at a diocesan farm, and people in the recorded local area later came together to create the cooperative. No incorporation or founding date was located. A 2025 Burkina Faso government procurement notice uses the formal trading name “SCOOPS API RELWENDE.”
How They Work
Beekeeping in practice
Several cooperative members harvest honey, and the cooperative receives the raw honey for centralized processing. In a 2024 Agribusiness TV interview, the cooperative was reported to have more than 600 hives and a stated capacity of 200–300 litres of honey per week.
