Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze honey value chain with special emphasis to Mesela District, West Hararghe zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. The main objectives of the study were to identify the actors, activities, the distribution of costs and benefits among them and to identify factors affecting farmers’ participation in honey marketing and volume marketed in the study area. Both primary and secondary data were used and a total of 160 honey producing sample households from four potential honey producing kebeles of the District were surveyed. The result of regression analysis revealed that the beekeepers, collectors, processors, local brewery houses and retailers. Results from Heckman’s procedure shows among fourteen explanatory variables hypothesized to affect honey market participation decision sex of the household head, number of beehives owned, market information, household’s beekeeping experience, tropical livestock unit (TLU), and type of beehive used were found to be significant. Four variables, sex of the household head, number of beehives owned, credit access for honey production, type of beehive used were also found to be significantly influence the volume of honey sold by the participants of honey marketing. More evidence is needed on honey value chain before any generalization of the results can be made. In addition, the empirical tests were conducted only on 160 honey producer since 2015. Therefore, the results of the study cannot be assumed to extend beyond this group of honey producer to different study periods. The study might help the honey producer in addressing honey value chain raising awareness and capacity building of both farmers and District’s agricultural development agents through provision of appropriate training on how to manage bees and incorporate new technologies, and formation of beekeeper unions and cooperatives to address problems like lack of access to credit, market information and modern inputs are the actions to be taken to strengthen the sector’s contribution to the District’s development.
