Summary/Abstract: Honey production is one of the potential locomotive sectors of Bingöl’s economy. However, the necessary steps towards professionalization have not yet been taken. For this reason, although the product’s value added is very high, it has not yet been utilized sufficiently. The fact that Bingöl University is chosen among the pilot universities under the new framework of ‘Regional Development-Focused Mission Differentiation and Specialization’ program, and beekeeping has been selected as the primary product to focus on; this fate can indeed be reversed. In addition to regulation of production standards, producer and consumer relations and increasing production quantity and quality; establishment of such a trade exchange market, in which trading can be made, the producers and the consumers can come together, is essential. In this article we first discuss why this trade exchange is important for Bingöl and then present the most appropriate theoretical framework and some applicable practices for such a trade exchange.
