Honey Products Limited (Industries)

Increasing entrepreneurial opportunities through honey production
2014 SEED Africa Award Ganador Biodiversity Lilongwe, Malawi

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.
