Abstract :
From the past, Honey has been known as a healthy product for human life. Iran has a suitable climate for beekeeping and is among the high-ranked countries in honey production. However, due to failure to comply with quality issues, export of honey from this country is associated with many problems. Honey quality also plays an important role in determination of honey sale price. According to this issue, in this study, the design of honey export network is taken into account. For this purpose a mixed integer programming mathematical model is developed which is able to consider the impact of honey sale price on demand quantity of importing countries. The numerical results show that the proposed model can efficiently determine the strategic network design decisions and help the managers in this regard.
