Exploring the Honey Supply Chain in Ghana
The purpose of this study is to assess the supply chain of honey in Ghana, more specifically as it pertains to the honey production activities undertaken at Nkwanta and Berekum municipalities in the Volta Region and Brong Ahafo Regions of Ghana respectively. The study employed the qualitative paradigm of research design. The purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 70 participants from the two study areas. Data collection was mainly through interviews with beekeepers, wholesalers, retailers and honey consumers. The results revealed that honey flows along the supply chain from the beekeepers through to the cooperative associations and then to retailers and to the final consumer. Also, quality remains a major challenge for consumers of honey.
