Honey exports increase sharply

The Dak Lak Honeybee Joint Stock Company in the highland province of Dak Lak is expected to export 10,000 tonnes of honey in 2010, doubling last year’s figure.

The company has signed contracts to ship 9,000 tonnes of honey abroad, and has already exported more than 5,500 tonnes to the US, Japan and the Republic of Korea. In particular, the US imported more than 80 percent of Dak Lak’s honey output. At present, the company is expanding its export markets to Malaysia and the Middle East.

The company has provided local households with materials and equipment for production, valued at more than VND25 billion.

In past first five months, Dak Lak produced more than 10,000 tonnes of honey, up 3,500 tonnes compared to the same period last year. The figure is expected to reach 12,000 tonnes by the end of this year.
