The CM Package for Honey Cottage Units under the CM Apiculture Promotion Programme provides machinery support to eligible beneficiary groups for setting up small-scale honey extraction, processing, and packaging units. The support is extended on an 80:20 cost-sharing basis, with 80% contributed by the Government and 20% by the beneficiary. The package aims to improve honey quality, add value to raw honey, and enable beneficiaries to market their produce under a common brand. Selected beneficiaries will be required to maintain the machinery and keep production and financial records.
