Business Opportunity.
In the anticipated market, the need to offer an alternative product from the
nutraceutical line has been identified, as it is an entirely natural product that nourishes
and has healing properties, and is also a potentially industrial product.
On the other hand, the bee products that will be obtained from the area will come
from the local plant flowers, that is, they will have an organic and ecological
characteristic, with a natural chemical composition of nutrients. For all this, the
product has great potential to become the surprise of the local market, regional
markets, and extra-regional ones.

1.1. Background.
The Mellifera bee is social, honey producer, recognized as the most valuable insect,
from an economic point of view. This reputation is due in part to its production of
honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and beeswax.
It has been recognized that bees are older than man, their appearance on earth
occurred about 60 million years ago, in the Tertiary period. The history of man's
consumption of honey dates back at least 20,000 years. Since then, honey has been
the first educolorant (substance that gives a food a sweet taste) used by humans.
Marketing is the preliminary and fundamental stage for anyone who wants to enter
the activity of beekeeping, because otherwise the beekeeper will fail because he does
not sell his products or does not know who to sell them to.
On the other hand, it is important to mention the increase in the market in recent
years of bee products, which has been generated by the “boom” in the consumption of
natural products free of chemicals and whose processing is friendly to the
environment, thus contributing to the preservation of the environment.
Honey is used as food, especially in adults and children, and in other cases as
therapeutic products. It is also an input in the industrialization of some industrial and
cosmetic products.
The products do not need any additives for their conservation; In the case of bee
honey, at a certain time and due to weather conditions it will have a crystallization
effect, but this process has no problems with its quality. On the contrary, since it is

crystallized it is easier to use it with other products such as, for example. with bread or
cookies.

In addition, honey normally contains pollen granules, some wax, certain pigments and
some essential oils, especially honey from the mountains.
Color : It will basically depend on the diet, in the dry season it will be a
dark color because the bees will be fed with artificial food (sugar +
water), however in the flowering seasons it will be a light yellowish
color.

2.1. Price
The price strategy is one of the aspects that most affects the image and positioning in
the market; In this case, the little knowledge that people will have of the products must
be taken into account in principle; Therefore, the launch price will be a way to promote
beekeeping products, with the price being a determining factor for the image that is
intended to be given to the market.
This item will be analyzed according to production and distribution costs, adding a
profit margin; However, the market study will also be taken into account, that is, how
much the consumer is willing to pay for the product offered; On the other hand,
intermediaries or wholesalers also influence the sales price.
Thus we have, according to the market study carried out in the province of Cajamarca,
potential buyers pay an average of S/. 25.00 Soles per kg of honey.
It is also necessary to clarify that prices will vary over time depending on the seasons
of the year, competition, demand, production scale, etc.
The payment method will be made according to the volume of sales, for example if the
consumer is a retailer, payment will be in cash and if the purchase is wholesale, credit
can be granted and will depend on prior coordination.
Below is the cost estimation table for daily production of 100 kilograms of honey.
