The Ministry of Water, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has granted 40,496 euros for the creation in Albudeite of the main honey packing and bee wax processing in the Region of Murcia, which will serve all beekeepers in southeast Spain.

This grant is part of the call for aid to private projects of the Rural Development Program (PDR) of the Region of Murcia 2014-2020, collected in the LEADER Program, which will mobilize 2,127,700 euros.
The counselor Miguel Ángel del Amor visited this packing machine, which has a production capacity of 100,000 kilos per year, and stressed that this project "introduces a wax decontamination technique, which makes it the fourth plant in the world that introduces a system of this type ".
