Quality management system of Indian honey for export.
There are mainly two market segments for honey all over the world,namely:
- Table honey
- industrial honeyN
‘Table honey” is used by households for different consumption. Almost 60-70% of total production of honey is consumed as table honey. Where as “industrial honey” accounts for about 35-40% consumed in industrial products like bakery,Confectionary, cereals,mainly in usa,Japan and Italy. In most industrially developed countries likeU.S.A.,U.K.,Germany, etc. the consumption of industrial honey is as high as 60% However, inIndia, so far there is no such gradation and awareness about honey. In view of the rapid increase in demand of honey, both in indigenous market and export, it is essential to take full advantage and grab the opportunity by way of assured quality.

World honey export increased from 211,400 to 309,200 tones between 1980 and 1986 and that fell to 261,600 tones in 1988.
