Bee Sweet Establishes partnership with Purdue University
Bee Sweet has established a long term study abroad partnership with Purdue University's College of Agriculture. In the summer of 2014, a group of Purdue students and professors went on a trip to Rivendale Farms, near Ndola, Zambia where the Bee Sweet office and processing facility is located. This largely exploratory visit resulted in identification of potential opportunities for partnership.
This partnership will be a mutually beneficial partnership with Purdue students gaining on-farm experience in a developing country and Rivendale Farms benefitting from Purdue’s technical expertise in agricultural production and development. It is our expectation that this venture will result in improvements to the productivity of Rivendale Farms and empowerment of local Zambians. Purdue has a long history of successful partnerships in Africa. With adequate support, we will open a new chapter of partnering with Africa through the Purdue-Rivendale Farms partnership.
