Based in Chimoio, the Mozambique Honey Company (MHC) was established in 2011 and is now 91% owned by Eco-Micaia. Today, MHC is Mozambique’s largest honey packer and the only national honey supply company with branded products available through supermarkets across the country.
MHC sells around 20,000 kg of honey a year, sourced entirely from smallholder beekeepers. Much of this honey is purchased in the comb, making it easier for beekeepers who do not have the equipment or facilities to process honey themselves, while helping to maintain high standards of handling and hygiene. It also provides consumers with confidence that MHC honey is pure, natural and free from adulteration.
MHC works closely with Micaia Foundation to build the skills, knowledge and business capacity of a growing network of Lead Beekeepers. These experienced beekeepers provide services and support to others, making them a critical link between MHC and the wider smallholder supply network.communities.
MHC is committed to going further as an inclusive business. In 2026, it introduced a benefit-sharing scheme through which a percentage of the sale price of its 100% Chimanimani honey products will go to the Chimanimani Beekeepers Association, strengthening the connection between commercial success and benefits for the communities that produce the honey.
