Improved access to the Boeny Region honey market by Hotel ★★★ Coco Lodge gourmet restaurant.
The players in the honey sector met to consult on improving access to the honey market in the Boeny Region.
Beekeepers, sellers and collectors discussed with technical services representatives in direct contact with the industry and local authorities. The aim is to determine the processes to follow in order to strengthen the value chains of the honey sector.
"In order to avoid unfair competition between operators, it is wiser and more beneficial to come together when you exercise the same path"., supports Fernand Johanesa, Director of Regional Development.
Boeny's honey platform was formed in June 2014 aims to implement 1000 improved hives in the area from here 2016.
With the support of a Malgacho-German Environmental Management Support Programme, it's a record of 800 currently, most of which are not yet functional.
Industry players have been made aware of the need for synergy to better promote their sector by analysing a mapping of farm activities.
Honey is not an easy product to market. "We need to find opportunities, practice the right price and ensure the quality of the product", points out a producer. Technicians propose as solutions "the implementation of traceability, certification of production or the application for certificates of approval, all of which are steps that must be taken to enhance the value of honey production.".
The PAGE-GIZ will soon equip the Kit-miellerie platform including an extractor, a spinr doser, and plastic seals 40 kg.
Beekeepers in several rural municipalities in Mahajanga II district attest to the success of the. In Ambalakida and Mariarano, basic populations or VOI produce rosewood honey. The shift to livestock has allowed beekeepers to almost double their production, either 10 liters/ruche against 6 litres for a pick in the rosewood forest. These farmers have been trained by the programme and have managed to transfer wild bee colonies into hives. They don't live solely on the honey industry which is an alternative or additional activity.
