Introduction.
Beekeeping is an industry that has been valued by mankind for centuries and is
still of great importance today. Products such as pollen and propolis are widely used not only in
the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Therefore, it is important
to effectively market beekeeping products, meet market demand and ensure competitiveness. In
this regard, it is advisable to first fully understand the concept of strategy.
The concept of strategy is the main determinant in the strategic management system of an
enterprise, as it is a connecting link between goals, development opportunities (potential) and the
conditions of the marketing environment. Based on the general goals of the business, it determines
the means by which the enterprise can turn strategic directions into competitive advantages, taking
into account the factors affecting the business environment.
A clearly formulated strategy helps a business entity choose the most optimal path of
development and form the most important competitive advantages in the process of entering the
market and establishing itself in it. It also prepares the enterprise for changes in the external
environment, connects available resources with changes in this environment, identifies problems
in market activity and coordinates the work of structural units, and improves the control system.
Taking into account the above, in order to achieve the highest possible level of activity of
enterprises, there is a need to scientifically substantiate their market development strategy.
Analysis of the literature on the topic
In the 70s and 80s of the last century, K.R. Andrews and A. Thompson defined strategy as a
management plan aimed at achieving set goals[1]. - P. Dale described strategy as a set of decisions
made by managers to achieve competitive advantages[2].
B. Karloff[3], R.A. Fathutdinov[4], V. Kolpakov[5], V.F. Oberemchuk considered the strategy as
a program of actions that determines the development of the enterprise and, accordingly, the
construction of a management system, as well as a set of promising directions of activity, as well
as a set of potential opportunities for assessing and forecasting the development of the external
environment[6]. According to the definition of J. Trout, strategy is what makes you unique and is
a great opportunity to gain your uniqueness in the conditions of your customers, present and
future[7].

A.Soliyev and S.Buzrukhonov define “Marketing strategy is the main program of a company's
marketing activities in the target market, which includes the processes of achieving the intended
goal through the development and implementation of its long-term marketing complex (marketing
mix)”[8].
Research methodology
This article uses traditional methods of economic analysis, such as analysis and synthesis, abstract-
logical thinking, and comparison, as research methodology. The scientific and practical views of
economists were analyzed and conclusions were drawn based on the results.
Analysis and results
Enterprises choose a strategy depending on which competitive advantage they will rely on during
their activities. Marketing strategy is long-term and medium-term. For long-term periods, it is
important to initially justify the overall strategy, which, depending on the resources and
capabilities of the enterprise, can be divided into three main types: growth, stabilization, reduction,
and a fourth option - a mixed type. These are generally accepted basic strategies, within which
marketing strategies determine market success[9].
It is necessary to form a general idea of the beekeeping products market, its structure and market
segments. The current state of the market, growth rates, main trends and consumer preferences
should be analyzed. It is advisable to approach this issue through the basic principles of marketing.

To properly assess the risks that may arise in beekeeping marketing, market volatility,

products in accordance with the basic principles of marketing (Table 2).

Modern digital technologies play an important role in the marketing of beekeeping
products. The ability to promote products and establish relationships with consumers
through social networks, websites, email marketing and other digital tools is a factor that
contributes to the development of product sales. Taking into account seasonality when
choosing a pricing strategy in beekeeping ensures stable profitability for a beekeeping
enterprise, therefore, it is worth hanging the pricing strategy and appropriate tactical
measures depending on the season.
In the process of forming a pricing policy by beekeeping enterprises, it is advisable to choose
a price adjustment strategy or average market prices. For many small agricultural enterprises in
the Republic of Uzbekistan, organizing the sale of products is a difficult problem, since they sell
a significant part of their products at low prices to intermediaries who receive much higher profits
due to the implementation of "efficient distribution strategies". In the beekeeping sector, the
situation is often very similar. The marketing strategy for beekeeping products depends on its
differentiation and seasonality, as well as the scale of the enterprise's activities, since small batches
of goods do not allow creating favorable conditions.
In the works of N. Makarenko and co-authors, it was found that small agricultural enterprises are
not sufficiently provided with conditions for storing products, as a result of which they lose their
competitive advantages in the market[10]. In the beekeeping industry, the storage of the main
product (honey) does not require very specific conditions. However, the storage period is quite
limited, usually one year, after which honey and other beekeeping products slightly change their
quality and usefulness. Of course, honey can change its structural properties due to improper
storage conditions, but even storage at negative ambient temperatures practically does not change
its nutritional value, i.e. at -20 °C honey becomes thick.
When heated, it loses its bactericidal properties, but does not lose its taste. Over time, honey
crystallizes, but does not lose its nutritional qualities. This is a natural process that depends on the
percentage of glucose in its composition. If fructose predominates, crystallization occurs a little
later. Honey does not lose its beneficial properties due to a change in consistency. Different

marketing strategies are effective for different types of agro-food products, just as different
marketing strategies are used at different times of the year, since the peculiarity of this product is
that it can be classified as a staple product, but its production is seasonal.
Conclusions and recommendations.
In conclusion, marketing strategies have been developing rapidly in recent years and are becoming
increasingly important in the activities of all categories of beekeeping enterprises. Marketing
strategy is an important component of the overall business strategy, as it helps the enterprise
achieve a competitive advantage by differentiating its products and aligning marketing activities
with the goals and objectives of the established market.
Beekeeping marketing is important for meeting market demand and ensuring competitiveness. By
correctly applying the basic principles and strategies of marketing, it is possible to successfully
market beekeeping products and establish strong relationships with consumers. The future
development prospects of the beekeeping products market are determined by considering issues
such as developing new markets, diversifying product types, and expanding export opportunities.
