The Sary-Sogot cooperative is growing!
Thanks to the Good Neighbors program, income-generating projects, the Sary-Sogot cooperative is steadily developing, increasing honey production and the number of participants. In 2024, the cooperative participated in the “Honey” project with the support of Good Neighbors. By December 2024, the participants had successfully implemented the project.
Now the cooperative's goal is to produce more honey and create a sustainable future for its business.
- The success story of beekeeper Samat Musuraliev -
Samat Musuraliev, a member of the Sary-Sogot cooperative, with more than 10 years of experience in beekeeping, has achieved impressive results! In 2024, thanks to the support of our program and the loan received, he collected 117 barrels of honey (3429 kg) and sold it to international markets.
In 2025, he plans to improve conditions for bees by purchasing 100 new hives.
"Beekeeping is our family's main source of income, and over the past three years our income would have been significantly lower without the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic." -Samat Musuraliev-
