RAPORO KU RUGENDOSHULI KU BIKORWA BYO GUKUSANYA NO

GUTUNGANYA UBUKI N’IBIKOMOKA KU NZUKI (NYAMASHEKE

KUWA 23-25/06/2016)

I. Intangiriro

Ubworozi bw’inzuki mu Rwanda burateganya gukuba gatatu umusaruro busanzwe bubona

kugera mu mwaka wa 2018. Ni mu rwego rwo kugira ngo amakoperative y’ubworozi bw’inzuki

ashobore kubona ubuki buhagije ku isoko ry’imbere mu gihugu no ku masoko yo mu mahanga.

Umushoramari Esther Su wo mu isosiyeti Apiary Limited yatangaje ko u Rwanda rufite ahantu

heza ho kororera inzuki n’umusaruro mwiza w’inzuki. Avuga ko ari yo mpamvu barimo

gukorana n’aborozi b’inzuki mu Rwanda mu guteza imbere umusaruro w’inzuki no

kubumenyekanisha ku isi.

Umushoramari Su avuga ko kandi ubuki bw’u Rwanda bukeneye guhindurirwa isura kugira ngo

burusheho kubona isoko.

Su avuga ko nyuma yo guhabwa uburenganzira na Minisitiri w’ububanyi n’amahanga w’u

Rwanda ko isura nshya y’ubuki bw’u Rwanda bugiye kugezwa ku biro byose by’abahagarariye u

Rwanda hirya no hino ku isi ngo nko mu zindi ngamba zo gushaka isoko.

Umunyamabanga wa Leta muri Minisiteri y’ubuhinzi n’ubworozi Tony Nsanganira yatangaje ko

ubufatanye hagati y’amakoperative 20 y’aborozi b’inzuki mu Rwanda akorera muri zone enye

z’ubuki (Gishwati, Ibirunga, Akagera na Nyungwe) na sosiyeti Apiary Limited, biteganijwe ko

buzongera amafaranga asanzwe aturuka kuri ubwo bworozi no gutuma ubuki bw’u Rwanda

bumenyekana no guhatanira isoko ku rwego mpuzamahanga.

Minisiteri y’Ubuhinzi n’Ubworozi igaragaza ko guhuza aborozi b’inzuki n’isoko ry’ubuki, ngo

bizatuma igice cy’abacuruzi cyungukira ku borozi b’inzuki gihita kivaho

Mu mwaka wa 2013, abadepite batoye itegeko ryorohereza icuruzwa ry’ubuki mu mahanga no

guhatanira isoko.

Ikilo cy’ubuki ku masoko yo mu Karere ka Ngororero kigura hagati y’amafaranga y’u Rwanda

800 n’amafaranga 3000. Amafaranga aturuka ku musaruro w’ubuki ashobora kwiyongera mu

gihe hatunganyijwe ubuki bwinshi, bukongera guhabwa indi sura no kubupfunyika neza mbere

y’uko bwoherezwa ku masoko.

Zimwe mu mbogamizi abavumvu bagaragaza bagenda bahura na zo zigatuma umusaruro

uagabanuka ni ubumenyi bukiri hasi muri uwo mwuga , uburwayi bwica inzuki bukururwa

n’imiti batera mu bihingwa byica udusimba , n’ibikoresho bidahagije.

Ni muri urwo rwego Akarere ka Ngororero, kabafashije amakoperative 10 z’abavumvu,

abacuruzi 3 b’ubuki, umuvumvu 1ufite uruvumvu rufatika ariko utagira Koperative abarizwamo,

Abakozi b’Akarere bafite aho bahurira n’umwuga w’Ubuvumvu n’iterambere ry’umuturage

muri rusange (V/M FED, DES, ES Kabaya sector, SME and Cooperatives Development officer,

District Animal Resources officer) bakoze urugendoshuli rw’iminsi itatu (23-25/6/2016) muri

zone y’Ubuki ya Nyungwe.

Iyi zone y’ubuki ya Nyungwe ihuza uturere dusaga dutanu ari two Nyamasheke, Nyamagabe,

Nyaruguru, Rusizi na Karongi. Utu turere twose uko ari dutanu dukora ku ishyamba rya Pariki

Nasiyonali ya Nyungwe.

Pariki Nasiyonali ya Nyungwe ni ishyamba

cyimeza riri mu majyepfo y’iburasirazuba bw’u

Rwanda kandi riri hejuru y’inkombe z’ikiyaga

cya Kivu. Iryo shyamba rifatanye na Pariki

Nasiyonali ya Kibira yo mu gihugu cy’u Burund.

Iri shyamba riri mu misozi ifite ubutumburuke

bwa m 1600 na m 2950 kandi ririmo amoko

menshi y’ibimera abana n’amoko anyuranye

y’inyamaswa; agizwe ahanini n’inyoni n’ingunge.

Ishyamba cyimeza rya Nyungwe ni kimwe mu bigega by’amazi y’u Rwanda: ritanga hafi 60%

by’amazi y’u Rwanda. Ikindi kandi isoko y’uruzi rwa Nili iri muri iryo shyamba.

Key finding 2 “Collect at least 2 Hives so that one can back up another and used to

interchange between them while necessary during maintenance; Buy a set of basic tools or

buy each of them separately. Basic tools include Smoker, Brush, Hand Gloves, & Scrape;

Transport bee hives in cold weather and preferable at night to keep death rate at minimum.

Remember, during transportation if a huge number of bees die you’ll be unable to recover it

and finally may be the colony collapse; Collect strong Bee Hives that include a teen aged

Queen, sufficient Female/worker bees, Pupa, Larva, nectar & Pollen Stock in the hive”

3. Gusura imizinga no kumenya ubuzima bw’inzuki zirimo/ Maintain Bee Hives

Key finding 5: “If you start Honey beekeeping as a hobby or in a small scale, packaging may

not very important. But while do it as business, nice packaging and marketing aspects are

necessary. Glass or ceramic bottle is the best for long lasting packaging. Plastic container may

be used only for short time. If you keep honey in plastic container long time, you’ll get bad

smell from honey. For packaging, you have to comply with local and central Government

Laws and policies. Such as – your product should be tested and approved by Govt. Authority

or Testing Institutions such as RSB (Rwanda Stands Board). Also regarding the Monogram

used in the label of packaging, quantity & date of production, date of expiry, batch #, MRP

with VAT etc. are required & must be registered and approved. Without prior approval from

Govt. authority you can’t use any label in product for sale”.
