Abstract

Burkina Faso has many classified forests that are home to a diversity of species which provide non-timber forest products (NTFP), including honey. This paper aims at demonstrating the economic efficiency of the honey sector in the province of Nahouri in Burkina Faso. The methodological approaches used in the study are the library research and socio-economic surveys of 53 beekeepers from six villages impacted by the creation of the corridor, namely Bourou, Kollo, Ouallème, Saro, Tiakané and Yaro. The SWOT analysis showed that beekeeping is a profitable activity and constitutes a good opportunity for income diversification. However, the beekeeping activity is limited by the archaic technique used. As for the economic analysis following the matrix of the exploitation account, it showed that the "average beekeeper" realizes an exploitation result of 73,250 FCFA per annum, since his operational expenses amount to 34,750 FCFA, while his exploitation products amount to 108 000 FCFA per annum. The analysis of the prices and margins of marketing of the honey of Nahouri shows that the big beekeepers record a coefficient multiplier more powerful than the small and average beekeepers, because of their weak capacity to finance the operational expenses which represent 33% of the products. For a social and economic promotion of the sector, it would be imperative to consider community support actions to beekeepers through the introduction of modern techniques.
