A Survey On The Determination Of Honey Production Cost in Igdır Province

Abstract

A questionnaire study was conducted on 85 apiculture farms registered at Igdir Beekeepers
Association with the objective to examine honey production cost and total revenue in Igdir province of Eastern
Anatolia Region of Turkey. In the study, in 63(%) of honey production costs was fxed costs, and the rest (37%)
was variable costs. 50(%) of variable costs was sugar, comb foundation, and frame costs, whereas 78 (%) of fxed
costs was family labor costs. Honey cost (20.65 TL kg
-1) and selling price (41.16 TL kg-1) were calculated, net
proft from sale honey of 1 kg was determined as 20.51 TL. Average net proft of 12 346 TL from producing honey
of 601.94 kg was obtained per farm. Lower average for honey yield per hive was 9.78 kg in comparison with the
average obtained in Turkey. To increase the yield per hive and the income obtained from beekeeping activity, it was
recommendable that technical education should be provided for beekeepers together with working the superior bee
breeds.
