Proudly made in South Sudan-Impact Driven Solution


Apiculture in South Sudan

Beekeeping has a rich history in South Sudan, rooted in local customs and practices. Historically, communities would forage in forests for wild honey, which was a significant part of their culture and diet. Traditionally beekeeping was a communal and leisure activity, fostering social ties among community members who sought the delicious wild honey from tree trunks and caves.

South Sudan is endowed with extensive forests that provide a natural habitat for bees, rich in biodiversity and flowering plants. The numerous rivers and swamps in the country offer essential water sources for bee populations, promoting healthy colonies and honey production.

Recent years have seen a surge in global demand for honey, outpacing local production capabilities. This gap presents a significant opportunity for local beekeepers. Changes in traditional practices and the rise of diseases have impacted local production, highlighting the need for modern techniques and improved management practices in beekeeping.

There is an existing market for honey both regionally and globally. South Sudan's unique floral resources can cater to niche markets that value high-quality, organic honey. By investing in beekeeping, particularly among women and youth, South Sudan can unlock economic potential and create livelihoods. Training and support for these groups can enhance honey production and processing.

 Hagana aims to lead the charge in developing South Sudan's honey sector, fostering sustainable practices that benefit local communities. The initiative seeks to partner with local youth and women, positioning them as primary producers and suppliers of honey and other agricultural products. This approach not only creates economic opportunities but also strengthens community bonds.
