First  President of Pueblo Apícola

Tec. Apícola Miriam Caraballo 

In 1999, Pueblo Apícola carried out its first export of honey to the European Union, and established a solid commercial relationship with honey packers. By then the company already had a business manager, who had worked with his family since he was a child, and later trained in Germany, where he began specializing in the production and marketing of honey. Without forgetting its origins, clear objectives were established in defense of small producers, to consolidate itself in the largest and most important cooperative organization in the country. ​

The name Pueblo Apicola means " Beekeepers

Town"  and the original idea comes from a

beekeeping pioneer  Miriam R. Caraballo

Dhó, whose  work inspired and met another

producers to found one network of beekeepers

from remote areas of Uruguay.

In the beginning the Cooperative was developed in the north of the country, and 10 years later Pueblo

Apicola is a strong national organization of small producers, with beehives all around Uruguay.
