“…The United States is the biggest importer of honey, largely from India, with approximately 80% of the total imported honey being of Indian origin. The UAE is the third largest importer of honey from India with a value of USD 2.66 million, representing 3.31% of the total Indian exports [54]. In the current study, 33, or 19.5%, of 170 samples from Australia did not conform to the standards.…”

This study was performed to assess the physicochemical quality characteristics of honey imported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) via Dubai ports between 2017 and 2021. There were 1330 samples analyzed for sugar components, moisture, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, free acidity, and diastase number. Of the honey tested, 1054 samples complied with the Emirates honey standard, but 276 (20.8%) did not; this was due to non-compliance with one or more quality parameters, thus suggesting some level of adulteration, improper storage or inappropriate heat treatment. For the non-compliant samples, the average values of sucrose content ranged from 5.1 to 33.4%; the sum of glucose and fructose ranged from 19.6 to 88.1%; the moisture content varied from 17.2 to 24.6%; the HMF occurred in a range from 83.2 to 663.0 mg/kg, and the acidity varied from 52 to 85 meq/kg. The non-compliant honey samples were grouped according to their country of origin. India was shown to be the country having the highest percentage of non-compliant samples at 32.5% and Germany had the lowest at 4.5%. This study emphasized that the inspection of honey samples traded internationally should involve physicochemical analysis. A comprehensive inspection of honey at the Dubai ports should reduce incidents of adulterated products being imported.

“…500 crore for National Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM) for three years (2020-21 to 2022-23). Covid-19 pandemic has also witnessed surge in honey consumption due to its health inducing properties (Allsop and Miller, 1996;Crane, 1999;Jones, 2001;Molan, 2001;Ajibola et al, 2012;Al-Quassemi et al, 2003;NBB, 2020;Singh, 2021;). The Government of India has also planned to organise a series of events across the country to manifest the idea of sweet revolution as beekeeping is an integral part of integrated farming system (MoA&FW, 2021;NBB, 2022) Currently, global market size of natural honey is US$ 8.4 billion and is projected to reach US$ 10.3 billion by 2025, with an expected compound annual growth rate of around 4.8%.…”

Though apiculture was prevalent since time immemorial in India, its commercialization began only after the introduction of Apis mellifera. In today’s time, beekeeping has become an integral part of integrated farming system (IFS) models. Hence, an economic study was taken up with sixty IFS adoptee farmers of crop + dairy + beekeeping model for the northern states of Punjab and Haryana, with Punjab being one of the most potential states and Haryana falling in the category of potential states as per Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC). The cost benefit analysis for Punjab and Haryana has been estimated as 2.46 and 2.06, respectively. The respective total honey production for Punjab and Haryana was found to be 6296.68 and 2956.62 kg from 304 and 143 beehives and their respective break-even point were also calculated as 1316.90 and 655.37 kg, indicating that the beekeeping is a highly profitable venture.

This paper examines the dynamics, competitiveness, specialization, and structural changes in India's honey exports from 2003 to 2022 utilizing trade data under HS code 04090000. This paper analyzes Indian honey export under different indices, including the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), revealed symmetric comparative advantage (RSCA), comparative export performance (CEP), trade balance index (TBI), and Grubel–Lloyd index (GLI). A detailed analysis reveals significant export growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.72% over the past decade, driven primarily by the US market, which accounted for 80% of India's honey exports in 2022. However, high export instability was noted in the US market, while GCC and SAARC countries exhibited more stable demand. The research also assesses market loyalty using Markov chain analysis, highlighting the US as the most stable export destination. Structural changes in India's honey export markets were identified, with the Gulf countries and Africa emerging as key markets following the European Union's 2010 ban on Indian honey. Despite competitive pressure from major honey‐exporting nations like New Zealand and Argentina, India's strong comparative advantage and specialized export focus position it favorably in the global market. The paper tries to highlight the need for strategic diversification of export markets and expansion of honey production to sustain India's growth in the honey export sector.
