Book excerpt: Value chain concept is a framework for conducting business transactions that is responsive to the needs of the consumer. It actually involves a full range of activities which are required to bring a product or service from conception, through the intermediary phases of production, delivery to final consumers, and final disposal after use. Such an approach thus considers international trade relations as being part of a series of networks of honey producers, exporters, importers, and retailers, whereby knowledge and relationships are developed to gain access to markets and suppliers.In this study therefore, traditional beekeeping value chain analysis focused on the interaction of actors along each step of honey production system (from raw producers to consumers)in Tanzania, taking into account the linkages within each set of actors.
