The data shows that the national demand for honey will increase from 1,625 tons in 2006 to 13,789 tons by 2020. However, the national demand will be met by 2013 and self sufficiency will be attained. The excess amont of honey will raise from 178 tons in 2013 to 13,789 by 2020.

For honey production, this transformation will involve capacity building and organization of people involved in bee keeping. A traditional bee hive collects about 7 kg while the modern one collects about 20 kg. The business plan envisages increasing the number of modern bee hives from 30,151 in 2005 to 322,007 by 2020. This will increase the total tonnage of honey produced. At the same tome the number of traditional hives will be reduced from 130,850 in 2005 to 75,610 by 2020. Emphasis will be put in the extension messages on the production of organic honey as this is prefered.

The bee keepers in the country will further be assisted by rehabilitating areas where honey is processed before it is taken to the market including filtration so that it fetches more on the market.
