Ukraine now rivals Argentina as the world’s second largest honey exporter, Anna Burka, consultant to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, or FAO, writes on Facebook. China has 19% of world honey exports. Ukraine and Argentina each account for 10%. Over the last five years, world trade in honey has grown by 18%, reaching 690,000 tons last year, with a total value of $2.4 billion. For Ukraine to add value to its exports, it needs to move from bulk to creating a brand and exporting bottled honey.
