Sustainable beekeeping
We support beekeepers in improving their practices, using modern beehives, and diversifying their income.
Sustainable beekeeping in North Kivu
A source for communities
ChemChemAgro develops sustainable beekeeping that combines honey production, pollinator protection, biodiversity restoration, and technological innovation.
What we do
An integrated approach to sustainable beekeeping
Four complementary pillars, from the apiary to the market, ensuring that pollinator protection also generates income for rural communities.
Training Apiary
We transmit the skills necessary for apiary management through practical training and support.
Pollination Nursery
We develop fruit and nectar-bearing plants to strengthen floral resources, biodiversity, and pollination.
Technology & ApiConnect
We combine IoT, data, and artificial intelligence to help beekeepers better understand their apiaries and environment.
ChemChem
"source" or "well" in Swahili
Our identity
A source of inspiration, knowledge, and resources
In Swahili, "ChemChem" means "source" or "well". To us, it represents a source of inspiration, knowledge, and resources.
"Agro" comes from the Greek "agros", meaning "cultivated land".
Together, ChemChemAgro symbolizes our vision: to be a source of solutions, knowledge, and opportunities for those who cultivate the land, protect pollinators, and contribute to more sustainable agricultural systems.

Miel du Volcan
The taste of a living territory
At the heart of the volcanic landscapes of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Miel du Volcan tells a story of nature, biodiversity, and community expertise.
Each harvest is linked to a territory, its floral resources, and the work of the beekeepers.
Our ambition is to promote an authentic brand that is responsible and deeply connected to African volcanic landscapes.

Traceability
From the hive to your table
We are developing honey traceability to better document its journey, from the apiaries to packaging and commercialization.
The geolocation of hives and farms, production data, and information gathered in the field progressively strengthen the transparency of the value chain.
