Apis Nativa Agroindustrial Exportadora is proud to announce that it has been recognized as one of the companies honored with the SC Vale Ouro 2025 Award, an initiative of the Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina (ALESC), created by State Representative Volnei Weber to acknowledge organizations that have stood out nationally and internationally for their innovation, excellence, and contribution to the state’s economic development.

The award celebrates companies from various sectors that, throughout the year, have elevated the name of Santa Catarina in Brazil and around the world. For Apis Nativa, this recognition marks a moment of pride and responsibility, symbolizing the company’s ongoing efforts to promote quality, sustainability, traceability, and the appreciation of Santa Catarina’s beekeeping sector.

“Receiving the SC Vale Ouro Award is an achievement we share with our employees, partners, producers, and consumers. It is a recognition that strengthens our mission to bring the sweetness and purity of Brazilian beekeeping to the world, with dedication and respect for the environment,” says Tarciano Santos da Silva, director of Apis Nativa.

Apis Nativa also makes a point of thanking and congratulating Deputy Volnei Weber and the entire ALESC team for creating and organizing the award, which highlights companies committed to representing the state with excellence.

“Initiatives like SC Vale Ouro inspire, bring visibility, and drive entrepreneurship in Santa Catarina. By recognizing those who stand out, the award motivates even more companies to innovate, grow, and believe in the economic and human potential of the state,” adds Célio Silva, co-founder of the company.

For Apis Nativa, this recognition reinforces its commitment to continue investing in technology, quality, and sustainability, contributing to the advancement of the beekeeping sector in Santa Catarina and in the Brazil as national and international references.

“Apis Nativa is a Santa Catarina-based company recognized for its high-quality honey and apicultural products. In 2025, its trajectory of excellence was internationally acknowledged with awards at the Paris International Honey Awards and the London International Honey Awards, at the traditional Black Jar Honey Tasting Contest in the United States, and at Apimondia, the world’s largest beekeeping event — achievements that reaffirm its commitment to quality and help place Brazil firmly on the global map of premium honey.”
