MEDIUM SCALE APIARY UNIT (30 Bee Colonies of Apis cerana)
The pitch
"MEDIUM SCALE APIARY UNIT (30 Bee Colonies of Apis cerana)" turns a specific local gap in forest based into a small, run-it-yourself unit — the kind PMEGP sample data shows plenty of applicants have already costed out.
Buyers are local: trade counters, nearby institutions, or end consumers within a practical delivery radius — map who actually buys before sizing capacity. Day-to-day work centres on procurement, production or service delivery, quality, and sales for “MEDIUM SCALE APIARY UNIT (30 Bee Colonies of Apis cerana)”. Higher sample costs usually mean more equipment coordination and working-capital discipline.
₹59,200 sets this up, per the official sample (Under ₹2L, Forest Based). Treat it as a starting benchmark for capacity and cost — your bank file needs your own numbers, not the template's.
