Govt extends honey export price till 2026

The Indian government has decided to keep the minimum price for selling honey outside the country at $1,400 per tonne for three more months, until March 2026.

This rule was first started in March 2024.

The main countries that buy Indian honey are the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

The government also has a special plan called the National Beekeeping and Honey Mission to help beekeepers and make the honey industry grow.

The biggest honey-producing states are Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab, Bihar, and Rajasthan.

Last year, India sold honey worth $177.52 million to other countries.
