INTRODUCTION
This road map is produced as a part of Promoting Intraregional Trade in Eastern Africa project funded by the Government of Finland. The project focuses on increasing ex-ports from Kenya, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia. The three-year project launched in December 2013 is implemented by the International Trade Centre together with lead organizations in each country : the Export Promotion Council in Kenya, Small Industries Development Organization ( SIDO ) in the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia Development Agency in Zambia. Enterprises working in the honey, mango and spice sectors are set to expand and become more competitive through this project. The objectives of the project are to increase the export competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises ( SMEs ) in selected agri-food value chains and to enhance the services delivered to SMEs by trade support institutions. In Tanzania ITC is working with local partners who include SIDO, Association of Mango Growers ( AMAGRO ), Tanzania Honey Council ( THC ) Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism ( Forestry & Beekeeping Department ), Tanzania Forest Services and Zanzibar State Trading Corporation ( ZSTC ) to address values chain gaps in the honey, mango and spices sectors.
This roadmap is produced to serve as a as guide for long-term sector development efforts of the honey sector in the United Republic of Tanzania. It addresses specific gaps identified to affect the development of the sector :
� Low productivity in beekeeping practices � Low or lack of business mind-set among the beekeepers � Lack of differentiated products � Inconsistencies in quality of processing and packaging � Varied quality of packaging materials � Lack of innovation � Testing and certification regimes not harmonized and time consuming � Private standards in the importing countries � Poor trade facilitation Training on Entrepreneurship � Uncoordinated training packages and delivery to beekeepers / processors � Poor information provision and market linkages
The data used in this document has been confirmed by heads of the selected Trade Services Institutions ( TSIs ) shows that despite huge export market in the region and in the world, Tanzania has not been able to benefit from that opportunity by selling high volumes of honey and spices. Indeed, the exports of honey have been on decline in the past four years.
Data availability on the national production of honey is limited. The data estimated that the potential of production of honey based on forestry area was 138,000 Metric tons of honey and 9,200 tons of beeswax per year. Forestry area has reduced over the years and hence capacity of production must have also reduced. Likewise the data for actual production of honey and beeswax is also not properly kept. The Ministry of Natural Resources & Tourism estimated that in 2011 annual production was 9,380 MT of honey worth the value of USD 17.1 million, ( TZS 27 bill ) and average of 625.3 MT of beeswax worth USD 1,875,900 ( TZS 2,813 bill ) was produced, which is 7 % of the national potential. What is clear is that the national potential for production of honey and beeswax is huge and production is way below the potential ( MMA, 2013 ).
This work is based on previous work done in the United Republic of Tanzania in honey sector in recent years.

DEMAND AND MARKET FOR TANZANIAN HONEY 3
DEMAND AND MARKET FOR TANZANIAN HONEY
1. GLOBAL DEMANDThe global demand for honey and beeswax and other products has been increasing over the past 10 years. The report titled “Honey : A Global Strategic Business Report” by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., proposes that the global market for honey is projected to exceed 1.9 million tons by the year 2015. This is primarily driven by increasing awareness levels and health consciousness among the consumers, leading to increasing demand for healthy and natural food products. The increasing trend of organic and healthy spreads is expected to continue giving rise to new variants and flavors in the global honey market. Increasing preference among consumers for honey-based products, is leading to a boost in the variety and assortment of honey based food products, baby products, yogurts and drinks. Moreover, honey contains antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and proteins, making itself an appealing ingredient as compared to artificial sweeteners.
The major consumers and importers are the industrialized countries, led by Germany, Japan, USA and UK ( fao.org, 2014 ). The increased consumption over the last few years can be attributed to the general increase in living standards, and a higher interest in natural and health products. Western Europe as a whole imported approximately 140,000 tones which were about 55 % of the consumption. The average EU per capita consumption of 600 g per year varies widely amongst individual nations, from Greece with 300 g per capita; to Germany with 1,800 g per capita.

DEMAND AND MARKET FOR TANZANIAN HONEY 4
2. REGIONAL DEMANDIt is difficult to estimate the demand of honey exports within Africa continent or within Eastern and Central Africa. A paper presented by Board of External Trade ( now TanTrade ) at the 2 nd National Honey show in 2007, estimated that Africa share of global annual imports was 19 % with Morocco the highest importer at 8 %. Although the actual demand will not be known easily, and if the Board of External Trade ( BET ), now TanTrade report provide as guidance on African imports, it can be estimated that African demand of honey from outside is 190,000 MT or anywhere near that figure.
3. NATIONAL DEMAND The actual national demand is not known. It is estimated that 90 % all honey produced ( 10,000 MT ) in Tanzania is consumed within the country as food or input for making local beer known as wanzuki. It is also known that there is more supply in months of June-August which are main honey harvesting season after the long rains. Usually the prices of honey during these months decline to US $ 4.5 - 5.0 per kilo, but increases to about US $ 8.0 - 9.0 per kilo in months of January and May. This shows that the total annual demand for honey in the country is much more than 10,000 MT.

TANZANIA HONEY IN THE MARKETS 5
TANZANIA HONEY IN THE MARKETS
4. GLOBALTanzania honey on the global market has been on decline systematically despite the rise in global demand. At the same time, investment in beekeeping by various stakeholders has increased ! Today, the major producers of honey worldwide include Russia, China, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Brazil and Australia ( fao.org, 2014 ). The global demand for pure honey is constantly exceeding supply, and, honey is increasingly becoming valuable and an expensive commodity. For example, it is reported that the price of honey in the US is rising more than 6 % annually, and the market is globally expected to hit US$12 billion by 2015 ( unctad.org, 2012 ). The major exporters however are China, Mexico and Argentina. But again, the highest colony yields are recorded in Australia and Canada which have a favourable environment, as well as highly developed colony management ( fao.org, 2014 ).
Processed Tanzanian honey is officially exported to Kenya, Uganda, Oman, India, Belgium and Germany. Honey that is exported to India is mainly for industrial use. Tanzanian exports has seen unabated decline in the past four years as for example, in 2010 only 291.5 metric tons were exported, in 2011 were 343.4 tons, in 2012 were 280.5 tons and in 2013 were 93 tons.
Tanzanian exports to the EU declined from 385 MTs to 327 MTs, with Belgium and Germany being the primary buyers. It should be noted that in 2010, Zambia was the largest African supplier to the EU, exporting 518 MTs ( mostly to Belgium ).
Tanzania has the potential of exporting more than 5,000 tons of honey and all of its bees-wax produced. The beekeeping sector is still a virgin industry for rewarding investment. It is currently being handled by individual beekeepers that lack both adequate finances and appropriate beekeeping skills. There is no organized marketing system for both local and foreign markets to encourage the development and expansion of the industry. More than 90 % of honey produced in the country is consumed in the country as food, mainly for making refreshment and medicine with only 5 % of honey been exported, ( MMA, 2013 ).
5. REGIONALTanzanian honey is exported within Sub-Saharan region to Burundi, DRC, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya. It is estimated that the honey export to the East African region could be over 500 MT taking Match Maker Associates study in Kigoma ( MMA, 2013 ) which estimated that 330 MT were exported informally from Kasulu and Kibondo districts. Honey exported to Burundi is mainly combed honey and producers lose beeswax with it. There is significant amount of honey exported to Burundi, Rwanda and DRC but not captured in the official statistics by MNR / TFS or TRA. This cross border trade is informal and is done mostly by men at night. The honey that is exported to Burundi, Rwanda and DRC is unprocessed comb honey. Ethiopia only exports a small amount to the international market, with the majority of exports being shipped to neighboring Sudan ( 531 MTs in 2011 ).
TANZANIA HONEY IN THE MARKETS 6
6. NATIONALIt is estimated that 90 % of honey produced in Tanzania is consumed as food in Tanzania. A significant amount of honey is used to make local beer in areas where honey is produced in huge volumes. The main buyers of the honey are mainly :
a ) Members of the community or the village who either buy for brewing ( 20 litres ) or for home use ( 1 litre ).
b ) Traders who purchase honey at village level. They buy combed or semi processed honey mainly in the 20 litre containers. These either process the combed honey or pack for selling to markets or they resell unprocessed combed honey to processors.
c ) Associations or beekeepers cooperatives that mainly buy combed honey and process this and pack for either wholesale or retail.
d ) Processed and packed honey is transported to major cities of Mwanza, Arusha and Dar es Salaam to be sold in shops, supermarkets, exhibitions and sometimes at open air stalls.
Rukia Halfan has been a beekeeper for the last 8 years. She is a member of Motomoto Beekeeping Group in Kipo, Rufiji. When she started beekeeping the group had its own hives and they would work together. Currently she owns more than 20 hives. Rukia harvests honey twice a year and she sometimes will harvest 5-10 litres per hive depending on the season. She sells her honey at Tshs. 8,000 / – per litre and has used the income to open a new business selling African dress materials, has managed to take her first born daughter to college and she has a diploma and pay school fees for her other two children who are in form three and standard three respectively. She also engages in cashew nut production and at the time of interview had five tonnes of cashew worth Tshs. 6M ( Tshs. 1,200 per kg ) which she planned to sell through the cooperative. She said her biggest challenge in beekeeping is the bush burning that people are doing to clear the land, the theft of hives and honey and not having a proper market for their production.

7. PRODUCTIONWithin Africa, Ethiopia is the largest producer of honey. From 2005-2010, Ethiopian honey production increased 26 % from 36,000 MTs to 45,300 MTs. Ethiopia produces dozens of honey varieties based on pollen source, season, and agro-ecological region of production1. Tanzania is the second largest honey producer in Africa and biggest African supplier to the EU. FAO stat data of 2010 states that Tanzania produces 34,000 MT and in 2012 are 28,500 MT ( #14 global producer ) of honey per year yet Tanzanian own estimates are 10,000 MT per year.
Whichever the case, the production is far below the potential that exists in Tanzania. More than 20 years ago it was estimated that Tanzania had a potential of producing 138,000 MT of honey and nearly 10,000 MT of beeswax. Since then a lot of forests have been cleared for farming, fuel and by bush fires. However, there is lot more farming now compared to 20 years ago and therefore together with forest potential for natural honey, there is also increase in potential for producing crop honey. This is to say that even in the worst case scenario; the potential has not decreased by 50 %. Therefore, the current production of honey is less than 10 % of the potential. This partly explains why the internal prices of honey are very high.
A number of production constraints are identified by the beekeepers including :
1. In most honey producing areas beekeeping is secondary or even a third economic activity. A result of this is that once hives are placed on trees or in an apiary, the management is left to natural forces.
2. Large majority of beekeepers use traditional log hives which produce less honey ( 5-15 kgs ) depending on season and forage.
3. In some parts of the country, bee-keeping areas were now being encroached by farming, livestock and sometimes charcoal burning. This has then created a situation where a beekeeper has to move further away in order to set up hives as the bees tend to shift to more a conducive place. The further the hives are located the harder it is for the beekeepers to monitor the hives closely.
4. Drought due to climatic changes that makes bees not to produce enough honey due to lack of water and flowers for nectar. Other situations have been too much rain and in other instances too little which has affected production considerably.
5. Production is also constrained by attacks and theft of the honey by destructive insects, animals and human beings.
6. There is a lack of a proper organized market that would motivate them to increase production.

8. PROCESSING AND QUALITYThe best quality honey is made by bees and kept in honey comb. To get a near bee quality honey, processing must be done is such a way to preserve the quality as it was in the combs. Quality of honey can be compromised
� During feeding if not natural forage, by way of using pest control and chemicals in production
� During harvesting by using excessive smoke � During processing by using dirty or contaminated equipment and storage � During transport and storage in very high temperatures
Over the past 7 years the quality of processed and packed honey has improved considerably. A the first Honey Show held in Dodoma 2007, honey was brought in good packaging but bulky was packed in used water and whisky bottles. Most honey had particles in them visible by naked eyes. After several national shows and training conducted by MNRT, Trace-T, BTC, SELL, VECO, Traidcraft and Africare ( to mention but few ) the quality of processed and packed honey has very much improved. Used bottles are no longer seen in markets, shops or exhibitions.
Known issues in quality are :
� Lack of skills and knowledge of food safety and hygiene among beekeepers and processor
� Lack of entrepreneurship knowledge and relate quality and high price in the market � Use of dirty and contaminated containers from harvesting areas to storage in household � Few high quality processing facilities � Lack of suitable transportation services � Lack of facility for checking the entire quality parameters of honey before pumping it
to market subject to bulk honey to a danger of being spoiled. � Lack of proper storage and transport containers so that honey is not kept too long in
the steel drums encourages for increased HMF. � Lack of adequate quality assurance system that will create a business name for
Tanzania ( apart from testing and certification, an industry body whose mark will be recognised by the markets
9. TRADING ( TERMS AND CONDITIONS )Trading in bee products, mainly honey is done in three main channels. The first channel is from individual beekeepers to the market. This happens in two ways; either the bee-keepers sell harvested honey in combs to traders who then sell to processors or exports as is. The second way is by beekeepers processing ( using different technologies, hence different qualities ) honey from the comb and sell to either traders in 20 litres containers, or pack in different retail containers of 200 gms, 460 gms or 1 litre bottles and sell to consumers in the village, local market or high end urban markets. The terms of trade in this channel are on cash and carry basis.
The second channel involves beekeepers selling to their own cooperative societies which process using good quality technologies and pack for retail to consumers in local markets, urban markets or exporters. The cooperatives also buy combed honey from beekeepers who are not their members. The terms of trade in this channel are a mix of cash and carry basis or supply on credit based on trust and loyalty to the cooperative to which the beekeepers are members.
GAPS IN COMPETITIVE ELEMENTS ( QQTC ) 9
The third channel involves medium and large companies that buys combed honey from beekeepers in 20 litre containers and do primary processing at their collection centres. Thereafter, liquid honey is transported to urban facilities for final processing, packing, labeling and sell to retailers or exported to international markets. The terms of trade in this channel are on cash and carry basis or sometimes by means of an advance supply of harvesting and packaging materials with an advanced agreed price.
In areas bordering neighbouring countries, there is a specific channel where agents ( traders ) buy combed honey from beekeepers and export the same to the masters in the neighbouring countries. The terms of trade in this channel are on cash and carry basis and in seasons where yield is anticipated to be low, an advance payment is made for honey in the hives. On their side the agents are paid commission per container of 20 litre purchased and delivered !

Halfan Athuman Mezera is a member of JUHUDI beekeepers group at Ntanza-nsona village in Rufiji. Halfan is disabled as he lost the use of his right hand and lost his right leg in a crocodile attack when he was crossing the Rufiji River to take care of his hives. Despite his disability, every season he produces 60-70litres of honey on average although last season he had the good fortune to harvest 140litres. Halfan owns 20 hives. Halfan sells to small traders who come to the village to buy and to his neighbours who do not keep bees. He also engages in cashewnut and simsim farming where he produces an average of I tone and 200kgs per crop respectively.
Mr. Halfan notes that their biggest challenge has been a stable market.
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS 11
10. PRIVATE SECTOR ( INDIVIDUALS )Beekeeping in Tanzania can be traced back to 1949 when a department was created by colonial government and the ministry of agriculture. However, it is known that some societies like Ndorobo and others did collect honey from the trees in their environment. With years communities around the country manufactured log hives, bark hives and hides hives for beekeeping. All this time beekeeping has been practiced as a family affair. With enactment of National Beekeeping Policy in 1998, and national beekeeping programme in 2001, the positive development of the sector started. The beekeeping Act, No 15 of 2002 and beekeeping regulations of 2005, paved the way for government and development partners to invest in developing the sector. The private sector investment into the sector then started to increase aided by marketing opportunities. At the moment over 80 % of beekeeping is done using traditional hives ( TanTrade, 2007 ) and large part of this is still family activity led by heads of the family. The beekeeping development projects by government, NGOs, and development partners use group approach in organising and supporting the sector which has led to existence of many beekeeping groups.
11. BEEKEEPING GROUPSBeekeeping groups are in every district that is known to do beekeeping. The group approach is a model preferred by government and its agencies as well as donor projects for ease of delivering training, extension services and other support to beekeepers. Indeed, it would be very difficult to support individual beekeepers as it would be very costly and time consuming. Besides in rural setting, communal approach to problem solving is a well-accepted practice. Again, through beekeeping groups it is easier to organise micro credit and other forms of revolving funds like VICOBA and Saccos. Again it is easier to organise aggregation, processing and storage in collection centres.
12. BEEKEEPERS COOPERATIVESBeekeepers cooperatives are higher form of organisation than groups. Cooperatives operates as district ( Kasulu Beekeepers Cooperative Society ) or regional ( Tabora Beekeepers Cooperative Socieity ) are registered and regulated under specific laws. Usually, cooperatives are able to handle large quantities of honey, invest in processing technologies and deal with market forces than an individual would be able to.
13. BEEKEEPERS AND TRADERS / PROCESSORS AGREEMENTS
Medium and large honey processors have means to enter into commercial agreements with beekeepers either individually or as groups. Traders in this arrangement may provide hives or packaging materials ( 20 litres buckets ) to beekeepers to pack semi processed honey at agreed price.
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS12
14. TANZANIA HONEY COUNCIL THC was established with the goal of improving value chain coordination and regulation to improve the communication and efficiency of coordination by designing a uniform system of protocol. This protocol would outline domestic steps for legal packaging and labelling, local testing requirements, production standards to reduce health threats from contamination, and other measures associated with third party export requirements. However, THC has failed to fulfil this role because it has no core funding to fully operate its secretariat and to provide services to its members. It is currently managed by a few volunteers, but committed staff.

ROAD MAP FOR UPGRADING HONEY SECTOR IN TANZANIA 13
ROAD MAP FOR UPGRADING HONEY SECTOR IN TANZANIA
The sector generates about US $ 19 million per annum, employs some 2 million people and helps in bio-diversity and in increasing agricultural production through pollination. Beekeeping is carried out using traditional methods; using logs and barks hives, apiaries are in the forest areas – far from residential areas and it is largely a man’s business.
According to various reports ( Traidcraft 2013, BTC 2013, SCF 2007, 2010, UNIDO 2014 ) confirms that investing in the sector is profitable along the value chain. What is needed is a road map that will guide stakeholders to development and strengthen selected value chains. In the short run ( 3-5 years ) it is recommended that two value chains are focused for development. These are :
1. Production, processing, trading to urban and high end markets within the country.2. Production, processing, trading to export markets in African region. These two are selected on basis of price differentials and realistic chance of upgrading the value chains to meet buyers’ requirements. Cost Insurance and Freight ( CIF ) prices for importers in the EU are similar or lower than the local prices at the urban and high end markets. In addition, to the price factor, exporting to EU and USA require additional compliance with EU or USA food standards ( product, systems, labeling ), as well as meeting cost of testing and certification by laboratories accredited by private importers. Furthermore, the terms of trade are payments after delivery and acceptance.
There is a potential of a third value chain targeting production, processing and trading to specialty honey including organic and fair trade markets. However, before intervening on this chain, it is important to investigate and evaluate feasibility of trying this route. It is believed that the cost of fair trade certification is in the range of US $ 6,000 without count-ing cost of preparation and audit visits. Traidcraft tried to support fair trade certification in Tabora ( 2007 to 2011 ) with mixed success.
15. OBJECTIVES OF THE HONEY TRADE DEVELOPMENT ROAD MAP
The proposed road map / implementation plan is based on the national beekeeping policy, programmes and strategies, recent studies on the sub-sector and activities of key stakeholders in the bee products value chain in Tanzania.
This roadmap is produced to serve as a as guide for long-term sector development efforts of the honey sector in the United Republic of Tanzania.
The main findings and recommendations and the implementation plan are divided in four key strategic areas relevant for the strengthening of the Tanzania beekeeping sub-sector.
1. Increase quantity and quality of bee products within the country and niche markets2. Create access to relevant markets, disseminate market information and make the
Tanzania honey visible at various markets3. Improve and strengthen honey sector organization and inter-professional communication 4. Provide adapted financial services to support producers and exporters capacities.

ANNEX 4 : HONEY MARKET SEGMENTATION
Definitions
1. Natural honey is extracted from the comb just after the bees are done with it. After submitting honey to the comb, the bees ennoble honey and extract excess water for almost two weeks. It is preserved throughout the extraction, packaging and transport to a temperature of under 42 degrees C, so that honey can retain its natural healing properties intact.
2. Table honey is one which is made by bees and meets national and international standards such as water content, HMF levels, minimum residual levels, etc.
3. Industrial honey is one made by bees but is suffering pasteurization and packaging processes in industrial plants

TANZANIA HONEY ROAD MAP / IMPLEMENTATION PLAN18
TANZANIA HONEY ROAD MAP / IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Below is the Road map / implementation plan based on the national beekeeping plan, recent studies on the sub-sector and activities of key stakeholders in the bee products value chain in Tanzania. The main results are indicated in the charts below. The main findings and recommendations have been integrated under the four key strategic objec-tives following the charts. The implementation plan is also divided into these four key strategic areas relevant for the strengthening of the Tanzania beekeeping sub-sector.
1. Increase quantity and quality of bee products within the country and niche markets2. Create access to relevant markets, disseminate market information and make the
Tanzania honey visible at various markets3. Improve and strengthen honey sector organization and inter-professional
communication4. Provide adapted financial services to support producers and exporters capacities
