Honey Production

It’s estimated that one-third of global food production requires animal pollination and 80-90% of this role is carried out by honeybees. Farmers who keep bees see increased crop yields and secure the additional bonus of honey to harvest. Bees can double the yield of a small farm. The practice of beekeeping protects the environment.

Leveraging Success, a 10-year project that runs until 2027, will help close the income gap by working with small and medium enterprises in the coffee, dairy and honey sectors. Smallholder farmers in these sectors can increase their incomes when they have access to skills, technology and capital to benefit from markets.

The project will reach 48,500 families by working closely with enterprises and farmer associations. Farmers are receiving expert support to boost their yields to deliver quality, reliable products for high-value markets.

To date, Heifer Honduras has enabled 565,000 families in 700 communities to become more productive and better able to adapt to climate change, increasing incomes and improving living conditions, and it has empowered 166 farmer-owned cooperatives and farmer associations to develop business plans and participate in profitable agricultural value chains.
