Honey Products Limited (Industries)

Increasing entrepreneurial opportunities through honey production

2014 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Biodiversity Lilongwe, Malawi

Honey production can be conducted throughout the year allowing smallholder farmers an opportunity to compensate for crop failure due to climate change.

Honey provides an alternative source of income, especially for forest-dependent communities, which has not been effectively exploited.

The enterprise provides a positive strategy for rural communities to sustainably benefit from the natural resources present in their communities.

The company provides a reliable market to smallholder honey producers and adds value to Malawian Honey.

At present the company has been able to reach over 100 smallholder farmers and young people in three different communities where it sources most of its honey.

The enterprise trains young people to own and operate business outlets located in specific geographical locations via a franchise model. These outlet managers provide beekeeping equipment and training to local smallholder farmers. The raw honey is collected, tested for quality and purchased by the outlets.

The honey is then transported to the factory for processing, where it is labelled with processing and expiration dates and finally distributed to community stores’ shelves. By creating a value chain around honey, Honey Industries offers young adults a source of income and improves smallholder farmers’ resilience and access to markets.
