Estudio de factibilidad para el procesamiento y comercialización de miel de abeja y sus derivados de la Asociación de Pequeños Productores Agroecológicos del Cantón Palanda, Provincia de Zamora Chinchipe

Abstract

Abstract: Apis or European bee honey is an input that is used in the production of various food, medicinal and cosmetic products. Currently, the income obtained from the commercialization of honey is recognized as an important item for the family economy. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the processes of collection, transformation and associative marketing of honey and its derivatives. In this sense, the present study aims to contribute to the productive and commercial strengthening of the beekeeping of the Association of Agroecological Producers of the Palanda and Chinchipe cantons, determining the technical and financial viability for the collection, processing of honey and its derivatives. The results obtained showed a growing demand for honey and propolis, so it is proposed to repower a production center with improved collection and processing processes.
