Dak Lak to export over 10,000 tonnes of honey

The Dak Lak Honey Bee Joint Stock Company in the highland province of Dak Lak is striving to bring its total export turnover for 2010 to 10,000 tonnes of honey, valued at more than US$20 million, doubling last year’s figure.

By late October, the company had collected 11,000 tonnes of honey and exported over 8,000 tonnes of honey products to the US, Canada, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. Notably, the US imported 80 percent of the honey products from Dak Lak province.

To push honey exports, Dak Lak Honey Bee JSC has expanded investment into other areas in Dak Lak province, and other provinces in the Central Highland and Southwestern region, creating favourable conditions for farmers to develop apiaries.

This year, the Dak Lak province has reared 200,000 flocks of bees with an output of 11,500 tonnes of honey, twice the amount in 2009.
