Arusha. Tanzania has lost the hosting rights for the 50th International Apicultural Congress (Apimondia 2027), which will now take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The global beekeeping event, originally scheduled for September 20–25, 2027 in Arusha, was expected to draw over 7,000 delegates, boosting Tanzania’s apiculture industry and economy. The decision to relocate the congress has sparked widespread disappointment across Africa.
