Turkish pine honey production and market challenges
Overview
Turkey has commenced its pine honey harvest, a season characterized by high productivity due to favorable rainfall and climate conditions. The country remains a dominant global force in this sector, producing approximately 90 percent of the world’s supply.
Despite the high yields, beekeepers in the Muğla region have initiated protests regarding market integrity. Producers report that authentic pine honey is being undercut by products adulterated with glucose and sugar syrups. Additionally, beekeepers expressed concerns over rising input costs, such as fuel, which they claim threaten the economic sustainability of the profession and the survival of bee populations.
