Abstract:
A study of the honey market in Cameroon revealed that honey supply comes from a range of geographical areas with large variations in demand and supply. Some producing provinces had saturated local consumption, other areas had production and consumption equilibrium and in some provinces, particularly with major urban areas, demand exceeds supply. A huge diversity exists in product packaging and distribution strategies. Potential for income generation and employment in the honey sector can be enhanced by raising product awareness and setting commodity standards.
