Golden Goods: The Global Trade of Honey

We all are familiar with the sweetness of honey and the viscous nature of this food substance. It is produced by bees who collect the nectar from flowers, process it with enzymes, and then store it in honeycombs. In this honeycomb, the nectar gets dehydrated and thickens into honey. The history of honey dates back to prehistoric times as an 8,000-year-old cave painting in Spain (such as "Cave of the Spider") depicts honey harvesting. It was ancient Egyptians who first practised beekeeping on a large scale in 24000 BCE. They used the honey for food, traditional medicine, and even religious rituals. In fact, during the Middle Ages, honey was used as a form of currency, offering, or tribute. When Alexander the Great died, he was transported in a vat of honey. We can also find the mention of honey in Indian religious texts, such as the Rig Veda. It was a symbol of wealth in ancient civilization and evolved from a local commodity to a global trade item. In the contemporary era, honey is an important food product worldwide with its deep roots in several cultures. With a consistently growing demand for honey, the opportunity for exporters and producers to connect with honey wholesale buyers continues to expand. 



Understanding the Global Honey Demand in International Trade

It goes without any doubt that honey is one of the most in-demand trade commodities due to several factors. One of the major factors is that consumers are now increasingly becoming aware of the health disadvantages of refined sugar or artificial sweeteners. Thus, they are turning to honey as a natural and healthier alternative to processed sugars. Honey is known for its nutritional value as it contains antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Besides, it has diverse applications as it is used in a range of food products (including baked goods, processed foods, and beverages), cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The increasing population and income levels are also adding to its rising demand in developing nations. The international trade of honey contributes to the economic development of both importing and exporting countries. 


Did you know that global honey production exceeds 1.8 million metric tons annually, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). And the top position for the highest growth rate in honey production goes to Africa with a 12% global share (Source: FAO). Additionally, there are some key trends that every honey exporter should closely monitor.


  • Increasing demand for raw, organic and monofloral honey in health-conscious markets
  • Preference for honey sourced from ethically managed beekeeping practices.
  • A shift towards speciality honey (like Manuka honey and Acacia honey), along with infused honey (such as ginger or cinnamon)
  • Increasing adulteration checks due to stricter quality and documentation norms from many importing countries.
  • Proper packaging & labelling requirements to preserve honey quality during transportation and meet international regulations



Commonly-Traded Honey Varieties and Different Grades

Honey can be broadly divided into monofloral (or unifloral) and multifloral types on the basis of their nectar source. As the name already suggests, monofloral honey comes from bees gathering nectar from one type of flower. On the other hand, multifloral honey (also called wildflower honey) comes from various floral sources. Here is a detailed overview of some of the most commonly traded honey varieties.

Apart from this, you can also diversify your offerings with related categories to increase buyer appeal as well as shipment volume. Here are the common food products you can explore and include in your export product portfolio:


Furthermore, it’s important to understand the different honey grades, which classify honey based on its quality and characteristics. Organizations like the USDA have established grading systems to standardize these classifications.

To know if the honey is pure:

  • Check for isotopic purity via mass spectrometry
  • Ensure consistent floral signatures and absence of added sugars
  • Look for the label and be cautious of those labeled as 'honey blends' or 'honey products' as they are not pure honey
  • Do a thumb test: Place a drop of honey on your thumb. Pure honey will stay in a lump and will not spread easily. On the other hand, impure honey will spread like a liquid due to its thinner consistency.
  • Do a water test: Add a spoonful of honey to a glass of water. Pure honey will settle at the bottom without dissolving. While adulterated honey will dissolve in the water due to added water
  • Do a vinegar test: Mix a few drops of honey with vinegar and water.  If the mixture bubbles or foams, it means there is a presence of adulterants (like chalk powder). The pure honey will not react with the vinegar.
