KVIC rolls out mobile honey processing van

The mobile van has been designed in-house by KVIC at its multi-disciplinary training centre, Panjokehra, for Rs 15 lakh

Chairman KVIC Vinai Kumar Saxena launched the country’s first mobile honey processing van at Village Sirora in Ghaziabad, UP. The mobile van has been designed in-house by KVIC at its Multi-disciplinary Training Centre, Panjokehra, for Rs 15 lakh. This mobile honey processing unit can process up to 300 kg of honey in eight hours. The van is also equipped with a testing laboratory, that would instantly examine the quality of honey.

The van will process beekeepers’ honey at their doorsteps and thus save them the hassle and the cost of taking the honey to processing plants in far off cities for processing. While this will make beekeeping a more profitable business for small beekeepers; this will also maintain purity and the highest quality standards of honey.
