Tulum Supports Local Producers with Beekeeping and Livestock Equipment

Tulum, Quintana Roo — As part of efforts to strengthen the municipality’s productive sector, the Tulum government, through the General Directorate of Economy, delivered supplies and equipment to beekeeping and livestock producers. The initiative aims to improve their production conditions and contribute to the economic development of rural communities.

Boost to Local Economy and Tulum’s Agricultural Sector

The delivery was carried out under the instructions of Municipal President Diego Castañón Trejo, as part of a comprehensive strategy to boost the local economy, provide tools to producers, and promote circular economy practices in the communities.

Municipal authorities highlighted that this support will increase productivity, improve product quality, and generate higher incomes for families, thereby strengthening the local economic fabric beyond the tourism sector.

Development of the Agricultural Sector, a Priority for the Municipal Administration

The General Director of Economy, Melitón González, emphasized that supporting the productive sector is a priority for the current administration. While tourism is one of Tulum’s main economic engines, the development of agriculture and primary activities is key to advancing toward a model of shared prosperity and reducing inequality gaps.

Producers Benefited from Six Communities

During the delivery, producers from the communities of Chanchén Palmar, Chanchén Primero, Hontzonot, Sacab Mucuy, Yaxché, and San Juan de Dios expressed their interest in strengthening their productive units with the received support, which will contribute to the economic growth of their families and localities.

Supplies and Equipment Delivered

The support provided included a wide variety of supplies for beekeeping and livestock, such as:

• Poultry manure
• Sugar
• Protein feed for bees
• Native bee hives
• Brood chambers
• Queen bees
• Molasses

Specialized equipment was also delivered, including spray pumps, smokers, veils, gloves, coveralls, tools for hive management, stamped wax, wire, and zinc sheets.

To strengthen the operational capacity of productive units, irrigation kits, submersible pumps, and solar pumping systems were distributed to optimize water management.

Permanent Support for the Productive Sector

Municipal authorities noted that these actions are part of a policy of permanent support for the productive sector, aimed at diversifying Tulum’s economy and generating better development opportunities in the municipality’s rural communities.
