Resumo
Goiás State is not prominent on the national scene of beekeeping, even with climate,
topography and vegetation appropriate for the activity. However, in recent years
honey production has been growing, emerging as an alternative for the diversification
of income and even main activity in rural properties. So the aim of this work is
characterized the economic environment and the dynamics of honey production in
the State of Goiás. The annual productions of honey in the State of Goiás on the
periods from 1998 to 2013 were obtained using data from the Institute of Statistics
Mauro Borges. Honey prices (per ton) in different years were obtained from different
values defined by Sectoral House of Honey and Bee products. Honey production in
the Goiás generated in the last 16 years (1998-2013) about R $ 21 million. Every
year honey production moves R$ 2 million reais only with the value of the product,
not counting other components of the productive chain of honey. The price of a
kilogram of honey has increased by over 207% in the Goiás between the years 1998
to 2013 have honey production increased about 308%. The value of honey
stimulating honey production increased in the last 16 years in the Goiás. The
production of honey in Goiás state should continue to grow in coming years, but the
amount paid to the product should have its stabilized price.
