Economics analysis of the use of modern and traditional methods in honey production among farmers in Enugu State Nigeria

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the cost and returns on the use of traditional and modern methods of honey production and barriers faced by farmers. Material and Methods: Primary data was collected from 100 beekeepers using both purposive and random selection techniques. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and cost and return analysis. Results: The modern methods of apiculture had a higher honey yield (105.4 litres) than the traditional method (52.3 litres). Also, modern methods had a higher gross margin (₦123,434.54) and benefit-cost ratio (2.99) than traditional methods, with a gross margin of ₦73,055.46 and a benefit-cost ratio of 2.99. The major constraints faced in apiculture include pests, hive theft and vandalism, changing climatic conditions, lack of equipment, and lack of capital. Conclusion: The modern method of beekeeping was more profitable and the best technique to use in honey production. This study recommends sensitization and training on modern apiculture, the provision of modern equipment, and credit facilities to beekeepers to enable them to adopt the modern method.
