honey china

America and Europe cannot supply themselves with honey, which is why they, along with other countries, are dependent on imports.

China has long been the main exporter of natural honey.

However, it should not be forgotten that honey from China can also cause problems. For example, there may be controversies regarding quality or even contamination.

Nevertheless, China is still the number one exporter for HS code 0409 —natural honey.

Despite the controversy, the figures still speak for themselves, although it is important to emphasize that they are declining.

China had a market share of 11.46% in 2024, representing a loss of 0.41% compared to 2023.

This is where ABRAMS.wiki comes in - we offer various Business Intelligence Tools for global trade data and full transparency along international supply chains.

The largest exporting countries besides China

Why is market transparency crucial for producers of natural honey?

Honey is a sensitive agricultural product with a volatile global market. Producers and exporters from China are not the only ones who often ask themselves:

  • Which countries are currently buying how much honey?
  • What are importers in the US, Europe, and Asia paying?
  • Which new markets are worth entering

Without answers to these questions, a lot of potential remains untapped.

The top 5 honey exporting countries by market share in 2024 are:

  1. China (11.46%)
  2. New Zealand (10.95%)
