The Briefing

  • The United States and United Kingdom have formally expressed purchasing interest in Chuquisaca honey — but no commercial contract has been signed and negotiations remain at an exploratory stage.
  • Chuquisaca's white honey from Monteagudo earned silver at FILAPI 2026 — Latin America's premier beekeeping congress — placing second among more than 200 samples from 23 countries; this award is the key driver of international attention.
  • Official Programa Nacional Apícola data puts Chuquisaca's annual output at approximately 1,100 metric tons — well below the 2,000-ton figure cited by the governor; no export-grade processing infrastructure is in place yet.
