Quality Honey from Kigoma Region - Tanzania

Beekeeping is a traditional activity in Tanzania. Many nectar-yielding tree species are found in the natural for¬ests of Kigoma region. As a seasonal activity – maximum two harvests per year – honey production is generally a means to earn extra money, rather than a sole source of income. Yet there is significant potential for Kigoma beekeepers to become more productive and more market-oriented, and thus increasing their earnings. The Beekeeping Support Project in Kigoma Region (2012-2016) was implemented by BTC, the Belgian development agency, and MNRT, the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. The strategy of the project was to develop the honey value chain, while linking this to sustainable management of natural resources and institutional capacity building. Over 5000 beekeepers and their families were reached, as well as processors’ groups, cooperatives, traders and exporters operating in Kigoma Region. To promote the sale of honey from Kigoma region, a short film was made to highlight the main reasons why consumers should buy Kigoma honey: • organic by default • high quality processing • conservation by sustainable use of natural resources • support to local economic development and livelihoods
