Introducing “IGNERI” honey boxset celebrating Caribbean Apiculture
Published on October 27, 2025
At the 2025 Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) in St. Kitts and Nevis, the Association of Caribbean Beekeeping Organizations (ACBO), in partnership with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, officially launched the IGNERI Honey Box Set, a premium curated collection celebrating the diversity, flavour, and craftsmanship of Caribbean honey.
The IGNERI Honey Box Set contains six (80ml) jars, each sourced from a different OECS Member State: St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada.
Together, they capture the unique floral signatures and microclimates of the region, offering consumers a true taste of Caribbean biodiversity.
“Apiculture is far more than producing honey,” said Richard Matthias, President of the Association of Caribbean Beekeeping Organizations (ACBO), during the launch.
“It embodies our connection to the land, our agricultural potential, and our duty to protect natural biodiversity. Through IGNERI, we celebrate our artisanal producers from each island and share their stories in every jar.”
The name IGNERI represents the native language of the first people of the Caribbean, the Indigenous First People, for whom honey symbolised life, sweetness, and harmony with nature.
The brand pays homage to this ancestral heritage, reminding the region that apiculture remains deeply intertwined with both cultural identity and environmental stewardship.
