Turkey begins harvest of pine honey, producing 90% of global supply
Turkey has commenced the pine honey harvest, with the country producing approximately 90 percent of the world's pine honey supply. Beekeepers from Mersin are working alongside intermediaries in Muğla and across the Aegean and Mediterranean regions to collect the harvest.
This season is reported to be highly productive due to favorable rainfall and climate conditions. The honey is harvested using machinery to ensure it remains untouched by hands. The produced honey is distributed to both domestic markets and various international destinations.
Turkey currently ranks as the second-largest honey producer globally, following China. Pine honey is noted for its nutritional profile, including high mineral and antioxidant content and low levels of glucose and fructose.
