Case study Ethiopia, honey

Download  - Ethiopia exported its first consignment of honey to the European Union (EU) in 2008 after a three year period of preparations towards attaining Third Country Listing status. This was the result of a deliberate set of interventions to help increase processing capacity in combination with an out-grower scheme to supply honey. This case study explains how increasing exports was achieved with inclusion and expansion of smallholder beekeeping practices, and the development of the business sector as a whole.
