Honey market in France

The honey consumption in France is 40 000 tons annually and the production is about 15 000 tons. From the beginning of nineties France faces the decrease of number of bee-keepers, apiaries and so the honey production. Main factors are bee's disease and mortality and also low prices due to cheap honey importations. The quality of honey (imported and produced in France) is decreasing.

1. Honey production in France
In France there is 69600 bee-keepers and 1,4 millions beehives. Professional bee-keepers (apiaries of more than 150 beehives) represent 2% of all bee-keepers and assure ¾ French honey production.
Since 20 years the number of apiaries dramatically decrease. 
 
At the beginning of nineties in France, the production of honey was 35000 tons annually. In 2010 the production was only 15000 tons. The country recorded only 15000 tons production. In 2011 the situation got better (17000ton) because of very good weather conditions. Despite the lack of official data for 2012, the year is considered as disastrous. Bad weather during the spring and the summer influenced badly the harvest.
About 35% of honey come from oleaginous plants.

2. Honey importations and exportations
The consumption of honey in France is 40000 tons and remains stable. The demand is satisfied by importations from countries like Spain, China or Argentina. 
 
3. Difficulties on the market
The biggest difficulty on the market in France but also in other countries are diseases and the high mortality of bees and the decrease of production of honey by them. The main reasons are pesticides, antibiotics and other chemicals.
The controls showed that honey (also organic honey) are contaminated by chemicals.
Another problem for French honey market is price dumping from importers from countries like China. French producer sell 1kg of honey for 3 Euros and the honey coming from Asia is sold for 1,5 Euro/kg. The pressure on the prices results in decrease of honey quality.

In 2011, the growth was of 2% in volume and the value of the market decreased by 5%. For the time being, the barriers to entry are small and the margins are high. The average price of 1l of energy drink is 3,5 time bigger than that of 1l of soda. The decrease of the value of the market announces the decrease of prices and the margins. The causes are the new entrants and also the price war between the main players.

The general view of biogas production in Poland




1. The state and the potential in the sector of biogas in Poland

The production of biogas is the source of renewable energy very weakly used in Poland.

According to many sources, there is in Poland about 200 biogas plants (comparatively to Germany where there are about 7000 such installations). The internet page www.portalbiogazowy.pl lists all important biogas plants in Poland. 
 

One of the characteristics of biogas plants in Poland is that the majority of them are not « standard » installations, which means those who products from agricultural wastes. In Poland the plants are near to landfills. Though the country with its agricultural sector has an enormous potential to develop this source of energy. Some studies estimate that the country could produce about 1,7 billions m3 of biogas from all agricultural wastes and those from food industry. This is the equivalent of 10% of this country gas needs.

2. The obstacles to the development of biogas sector
The high costs of preparation of project and the investment costs are the mains obstacles to the development of small plants.
Furthermore, the investors have to face many difficulties of legal nature (the definitions are not clear, there are no clear procedures, many decisions depends on interpretation of civil servants), administrative nature and also bureaucratic obstacles. 

3. The developments of this situation
All actors of the sector wait for the new law on renewable energy, that should come into force at the beginning of 2013 that should bring order in many administrative and procedural aspects. Furthermore, the State should take some measures to promote the biogas production.
A new program was implemented : « Innowacyjna Energetyka – Rolnictwo Energetyczne » (Innovative Production of Energy – Energetic Agriculture).
The experts expects the boom of biogas plants in the next years.
