The goal of this project is to attain sustainable growth in the incomes of small‑scale beekeepers through scaling-up beekeeping, improving honey productivity and quality and increasing the value addition of Yemeni honey. The Shabwah and Al‑Hudaydah Governorates were selected for the project because of their high rural poverty rates and the prevalence of traditional hives in the honey sector.

The objective of the project is to increase the contribution of the mango value chain to the socio-economic development of Senegal while contributing to poverty reduction. Mangos and mango products available for export will be increased, and new export markets will be identified. Actors in the mango value chain will be trained in Good Agricultural Practices, and storage and processing facilities will be updated.
Results
The project strengthened the already existing relationships between producer groups and processors, and supported the construction of bulking centres to provide easy access to markets for honey and honey products. Before the project, beekeepers used to keep honey in whatever containers they would get and incur costs in transporting honey long distances looking for the buyers. Now, in communities with bulking centres, the honey is sold within the communities and prices are negotiated. The honey producers, 30% of whom are women, are also being trained to improve productivity and quality.
