Picture this: A flourishing sunflower field, a sea of vibrant yellow blooms, and the harmonious hum of your honeybees hard at work.
This idyllic scene is not just a dream but a reality waiting for you. Sunflowers generate about 2 tons of sunflower yield per hectare valued at about R17,000 per hectare gross income.
By renting renting 4 hives per hectare, they are shown to increase the crop yield by up to 40% per hectare resulting in an additional R14,000/hectare. After paying R4000/hectare for renting your hives, the FARMER still makes a potential of R10,000 additional income per hectare!
By providing your pollination services to farmers, you can earn up to R1000 per hive, per hectare, while helping sunflower seed farmers generate an astounding R10,000 more income per hectare through increased crop yields. |
